@DrDiGiorgio There is virtually no capitalism in physician healthcare. No open market. No control over prices, reimbursement etc.

Hoosiers used 2 timeouts to come up with play like that???? Throw it length of court with 3.3 seconds left? WTF Woodson is abysmal @dandakich

@BrentAWilliams2 And, all that stuff clutters the EHR note, that is already difficult to read. Give me an HPI and an Assessment/Plan!

@BobCarterMD The best month of my neurosurgical career was spent with my son doing his last month/rotation of medical school with me. An absolute blessing

@DrDiGiorgio Agreed! I just signed on to Epic remotely (one nice feature), to send a Z-pak rx. Not a favorited med as I am a neurosurgeon. Took me 14 minutes. Then, pharmacist contacted me with questions.

@BarstoolIrish Lucky to be 1 score. D needs a turnover. They are manhandling our D line. Angeli throws great. Need an offensive drive to start 2nd half

@katie44121 @AaronGoodman33 I’ve been a doc many years. I answer every question asked and spend as much time as needed. Decisions are up to the patient. I am far from paternalistic with my patients. However, there is a reason neurosurgery residency is 7 years. Most patients end up scared by the report

@CoffeeBlackMD Spot on. In 31 years of practice, the patients have gotten markedly heavier and less healthy. But, expectations (spine-wise, not brain) are greater that we can “fix” things. I tell them we can try to improve your functionality/pain; but we don’t fix decades of problems

@DutchRojas @independentMDs @dtmcdevitt I was private for 30 years doing neurosurgery. There is no way anyone is buying a practice for that amount. Nor is there any way partners “buy out” a retiring surgeon. Not remotely financially feasible.

@JPGK_MD Ability to be on call and look a patient up remotely. Access to the chart is a great function. Handwriting issues also.
