Spine surgeons see problems from many different angles. That is why it’s prudent to get more than one opinion. But be wary of surgeons who use high pressure tactics to get you to sign up for surgery when no other methods have been tried. #trustyoursurgeon

Aged like milk.

Although we don’t always agree on what to do it’s important Doctors not undercut each other. The recent 2.5% efficiency cut may seem like a short-term win for evaluation & management codes, but in the end it comes 4 us all. Schadenfreude in medicine only benefits the bad guys

Exactly

Texas Republican John Cornyn slams Trump for his Ken Paxton endorsement: "There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants... He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.”

And does CMS represent a private practice physician. I have written about this that not one private practice physician is on the new Medicare healthcare advisory committee: x.com/stzorfas/status/205958…

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?   Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

From the Texas Tribune: After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas.... USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

Yep. Exactly my point. The average TBI patient is in the ICU for 13 days. Meanwhile 8 days of ICU care are more RVU than a trauma crani.

Talarico committing the Texas GOP crime of wanton consensual contact with an age appropriate woman.

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war." Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.  We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

I loan it out in June.

Your reminder that Trump gutted the agencies and programs that would have prevented the screwworm outbreak.

Mike Lee is so close to figuring out why the government shouldn’t be weighing in on religion.

You went to prison for selling Obama’s senate seat while Daley sold our parking meters to the UAE. You both would’ve given the Bears to Hammond for an OTPHJ. Grow up.

Nope. The NFL should strip their branding and force them to be called the Hammond Bears or the Indiana Bears. Don't profit from our city while running away from it for a tax break.

So for all the people that bitch about high taxes (“fiscal conservatives”) in Illinois, imagine arguing for raising taxes to pay for a billionaires’ stadium 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As an Oakland fan, my heart goes out to all Chicago sports fans today. Billionaires don't need public funds to build their stadiums.

Illinois can retain the Bears, if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, taxpayers should not have to kick in a dime on these stadium projects. If you can’t afford to build one as an owner, maybe you shouldn’t own the team.
