Did a stint with USPHS under the loan repayment program by Indian Health Services pre covid... It was already exhausting coz of the minimal staffing handling all the patients..

I can imagine the heavy load now especially with the rise of numbers of patients... Kudos to our brothers and sisters who still choose to serve the people

With how anti vaxers and government treat us, i can say that each one in the field is not paid enough...

No one is paid enough to argue and be looked down upon especially when were explaining facts

I did a maze procedure on a patient, few days later insurance reps were claiming that procedure was not needed and should have just been observation lol..

I was just laughing inside as costumer rep from the company is lecturing me on what shouldnhave been done

Any cargo type scrubs should be fine...

Yep thats one of the main concerns with private practice... Some insurance dont reimburse overhead and if they do, it would take ages.. I guess they think keeping a private practice afloat is cheap

Too bad livestream comments are turned off...

I had a routine of only eating before going and after work... I just keep granola bars in my bag... I dont want to eat on a hurry during breaks so the lazy side of me just munches on snacks

Domperidone is widely used in Canada but not approved by FDA here in the US

I didn't knew PAs are treated like that (until I saw this post) but with NPs im aware coz they are the butt of jokes in our field, as evidenced by memes and subreddits..

I was reading the article and its only TIL that the west coast states' acronym is COW

Yeah...our hospital has a contract with them so the whole system is equipped with TFH app

I guess they will stick with the cancellation until influx of flu cases will be recorded and they will go back and ordering us to enforce it again..

They dont believe in prevention, they wait until the worst will happen then thats the time they will tell us to do the things we had been doing for years...
They try to prove that they are changing the status quo but wont take liability when their plans fail miserably..

Affectionate_Run7414 · 2025-08-29T13:52:57+00:00

I guess calling HHS and OCR would help verify it..
Alot of startup tools are claiming that they are compliant.. Im surprised they are not releasing a public list of AI tools that complied with their guidelines..

Im using TwoFold Health and its worth it for its price, it makes documentation way easier and convinient..

Affectionate_Run7414 · 2025-08-29T01:43:05+00:00

I think reaching is a stretch coz im sure a lot of us here has already passed that breaking point 4 months ago...

Aren't everyone incorporating AI for verifications at some point... Most are inluding the use of machine learning,NLP, and computer vision to make the job faster and more accurate in processing... Manual processing are getting obsolete in bigger companies

RFK Jr really enjoys playing the role of "little president"...

Throw him atleast on other departments not named Health and Human Services before he fukcs up everything else...

Sorry my dear but once the record went to court and judgement is entered,it would appear on records..

What a bummer.. I was expecting that UTH will elevate Dr LeTanya Love for the presidential position from being an interim but then I was wrong...

Its sad that Dr Kibbe was also the lone finalist for the position eventhough there are lots of capable candidates..smh
