Today is my 32nd birthday and despite being a physician and attorney I have never had a job that provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

When an article uses pictures of the @GWEMresidency residents you brought to a SCOTUS rally AND cites an article you wrote with @AcuntoBrian and your OG EMTALA co-author @GreerDonley it’s EMTALA full circle

Many lawsuits in the United States are asking whether emergency medical providers must offer abortions. Read analysis on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in this week’s Saturday Seminar. buff.ly/4dbCfgR

Doctors torn between conflicting state & federal laws when it comes to abortions in medical emergencies say fear of state prosecution outweighs fear of federal enforcement, and that an upcoming SCOTUS ruling could make things worse. politico.com/news/2024/06/06… w/ @meganmesserly

1/After a decade working on #cholera in #Haiti, a disease introduced by #UN peacekeepers, many are concerned about the unintended harms of yet another police force to Haiti that fails to address prior harms.
There is a better way. I wrote about it @thehill.

This story is wild.
(And unfortunately, something I expect we’ll see more of in the future.)

Really incredible article about an insurance company disciplining a doctor for following the standard of care.

Looks like their “experts” are just as bad as some of the most crooked plaintiff experts I see.

Today is my 35th birthday and soon I will take unpaid parental leave for the second time. But I will never stop fighting for a world in which my kids have access to comprehensive parental leave. 💫💫

35million priorauths submitted to @MedicareGov #MedicareAdvantage in a year - assuming 5 min/each and $20/hour of staff time (underestimated since this is physician/RN/admin blended time) that’s $58million of just labor cost.
Not including denials/appeals…

Today, Idaho was at the Supreme Court arguing that hospitals should be allowed to deny pregnant women the emergency medical care necessary to save her health or life if that care includes an abortion.

ER doctors and nurses should be freed to give care, to save lives and provide medical treatment to anyone who needs it — without politicians coming between patients and emergency care #BansOff

🎉 Big change from @USDOT:
If your flight gets delayed or canceled, airlines now have to refund you automatically in CASH.
Refunds cover:
- Delayed flights (3 hrs domestic, 6 hrs int’l)
- Airport changes
- Added connections
- Service class downgrade
- Accessibility changes
24 Apr 2024
Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

Emergency access to abortion care can be the only way to save the lives of people experiencing complications caused or exacerbated by pregnancy. More than two dozen leading medical organizations urge #SCOTUS not to weaken #EMTALA. Read the full statement: bit.ly/3xUtGbG

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…
Yes, medical residents are once again exempted from being paid overtime.
See p. 378 of the final rule PDF:
ALT Screenshot of page 378 of 383 of the Department of Labor final rule, which notes that exceptions to the standard salary criteria will apply to medical residents.

BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.

As likely the only board certified EM physician and repro rights attorney in the country, few things get me fired up like EMTALA and the denial of emergency abortion care. Our patients deserve better. Join us tomorrow as we rally for patients at SCOTUS 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Also, how cool is it that @GWEMresidency canceled grand rounds tomorrow so residents could attend! Advocacy is crucial to our work as doctors, and nothing is closer to ER doc hearts than EMTALA!!
