This is a real email I received from a hospital a couple of years ago. Finish up your online fatigue training. But do it at your own unpaid time. 90minutes of work. Find a time. This is not how you deal with burnout.

If you have a high rate of “surprise bills” in your State, especially when it comes to emergency care, guess what? The networks are NOT adequate. Narrow Networks are the work & design of bullies trying to make a profit at the expense of patients, employers, and providers. #txlege

Good news from DC that earlier this evening, the Senate overwhelmingly (99 to 1) passed its opioid package, which included both #ACEP-developed opioid bills, the #ALTO and #POWERAct. These bills will @EmergencyDocs combat the #opiatecrisis #StopOverdoses #SaveLives

Wow. Simply wow. I'm not sure attacking this company that has 24/7 urgent care at DFW, unlike any hospital, is a very smart idea.

#moleg passing strong health care bill to ensure ER claims are paid by your insurance company. Thanks to Speaker @Rep_TRichardson and @RobVescovo and @Mikelkehoe for allowing more time for consumer protection.

Forcing patients to diagnose their own illness may discourage people with serious problems from seeking care. Patients, docs, hospitals, consumer advocates, state and federal lawmakers are pushing back! mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/1…

It's a bad #FluSeason this year & there's also a lot of #FakeNews about "why" and "how to deal with it." Dr. Justin Hensley (@EBMgoneWILD ) of @code3ER in Rockport speaks some truth and gives some advice to keep you out of the #ER. (hint: #VaccinesWork) bit.ly/2COmufN

Being able to lie must be a required job skill for working for an insurance company. The commitment to lies is impressive. Lies upon lies, every single day. Argh. #insurancefail

Happy New Deductible Day! How much (beyond your monthly premiums) will you have to shell out in 2018 before your insurance company actually starts to consider covering your healthcare. #StopUnderpayers

Let's be clear...The law (#EMTALA) says ERs MUST stabilize & treat anyone who seeks care. It also says PATIENTS decide if their condition warrants an ER visit (#PrudentLayperson). Insurance Cos. denying ER coverage is AGAINST THE LAW! #StopUnderpayers washex.am/2BmXnzL
