A 45-year-old man came to me with sudden weight gain and rising BP. The reason? Not diet. Not stress. It was PREDNISOLONE Steroids can - - Increase appetite → weight gain - Cause salt & water retention → high BP - Alter sugar & fat metabolism → the body starts storing fat And the biggest mistake people make? Stopping steroids suddenly. Never do that. These drugs must be tapered slowly under medical supervision. Sometimes the problem isn’t the disease… It’s a long-term medicine. #DoctorNotes #MedicalFacts #SteroidSideEffects

My father, Louis Caplan, MD, wrote a powerful piece on medical providers and the predicament of physician's patient notes. In a single page, he summarizes simply and clearly the battle doctors (and the rest of the culture) face as insurance and payers creep too much into medical care. As it sheds light into the day to day reality that doctor's now face, it helps explain why doctors move into concierge practices, and why so many clinicians are burning out... This impacts almost everyone who sees a healthcare provider. #medical #doctors #insurance #culture #patientnotes #doctornotes #MedEd #MedicalTwitter The PDF: bit.ly/42nVWwB

Correction: #doctornotes are never touched by consultants, only the physician writing them. Recommendations on how to reap the most income are made by consultants because medical systems also need to remain financially viable. The result is more work for health workers and docs

12/ #Doctornotes are buffered, corrected and improved by administrative hired consultants to increase revenue. The doctor focuses more time on the note and less time on the #patient. This attention is completely misguided and must be changed. Billing must reward conciseness.
