"Sorry I think I have to take this unscheduled call from an anonymous number because if I miss it I think they will automatically deny payment for my patient's radiation. Five minutes. It's a US thing."

🧵2/ Metastasis-directed Tx to the 🫁 has limited trial evidence (surgery or SABR). Whilst convenient, popular during #COVID19, there is reluctance for single fraction fraction 🥊 SABR for perceived toxicity. @TROGfightcancer SAFRON II randomised n=90 with 133 🫁 mets to 1 vs 4fx SABR

Proud of @JoshuaSchiffMD for not only knocking it out of park (honestly his baseline) presenting our in silico work evaluating #adaptiveSBRT for ultra-central thorax NSCLC but also having already made this into a @VarianMedSys funded, Ph I clinical trial (NCT05785845)! #ESTRO23

One “medical director” denied 121 THOUSAND claims in 2 months. That’s ~ 350 claims an hour. They’re supposed to review the medical record. This is illegal. Do something. @Hickenlooper @laurenboebert @MichaelBennet @GovofCO propublica.org/article/cigna…

How Cigna Saves Millions by Having Its Doctors Reject Claims Without Reading Them

Internal documents and former company executives reveal how Cigna doctors reject patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said.

This SPECTACULAR phase III randomized clinical trial was once thought impossible to complete. How did they do it? By inviting a medical anthropologist (Jenny Donovan at @QuinteTBristol) to help design and lead the study. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

This Coach K interview on #WRAL…blaming Final 4 loss on referees (said he would have switched one out), then saying there was “a lot of hoopla” around his last home game at Cameron which he referred to as “a crushing defeat”. Um, whose doing was that exactly?
