Medical system navigation post!

(At the moment, this is likely to be America-centric for system questions unless/until we get more international representation.)

A discussion post (and request for suggestions) regarding Vaccination

by medgremlin@midwest.social

I'm currently on my pediatrics rotation and on my first day in clinic, I had about 40% of families decline vaccinations. For the last visit of the day, the patient was a 3 week old coming in for her newborn followup and her parents said that they were against all vaccinations.

by Neurologist@mander.xyz

Sorry but I had to share this, it’s gold, and such an on point critique. And very relevant for anyone informing clinical decisions with RCTs.

(For the Americans) When it comes to insurance, what is your approach to dealing with the insurance monsters like UHC?

by medgremlin@midwest.social

I have some previous experience fighting with the mass-murderers...I mean...insurance companies from the role of a clinic assistant, but I want to hear perspectives from physicians or other providers about your approaches to dealing with them.

Alleged CEO Shooter Luigi Mangione Was Radicalized by Pain

by medgremlin@midwest.social

This is a great article written by Robert Evans of 'Behind the Bastards' fame that goes into Luigi's background, social media presence, and apparent ideologies.

I'm sure we all have opinions about the UHC CEO, so I wanted to make a thread for discussion and venting for us.

PSA: Hurricane Helene trashed the US's biggest manufacturer of IV fluids, so expect shortages to be ongoing for quite a while.

Dr. Glaucomflecken is, as always, on point.

by medgremlin@midwest.social

Let's hope Cigna catches some real consequences this time. (Not likely, but we can hope.)

Implicit Biases are very important to be aware of in healthcare. This is a project that has a bunch of implicit bias testing, and I think it's worthwhile to recognize your own biases.

by medgremlin@midwest.social

I like to go through and take a couple of these tests every now and then to kind of check up on myself to make sure I'm not developing biases that will negatively impact my ability to care for my patients. I think it's probably a good idea to at least get a baseline for yourself so you know when you're most likely going to need to self-monitor what you say and do more closely.

For folks still in training, how do you try to present yourself to new preceptors when first meeting them?

by medgremlin@midwest.social

Personally, I try to present myself as excited for the training with some degree of competence without trying to pretend like I already know....anything? I feel like I have some trouble striking the perfect balance between competent and receptive, or maybe it's a balance between confidence and humility.

Resources to share with patients

by medgremlin@midwest.social

I'm currently in my Family Med clinical rotation, and our professor has us working on social determinants of health stuff for the didactic/academic portion. To that end, she sent us some resources and then I dug up a bunch more, so I wanted to share links to the resources I found in case anyone finds them useful in their practice for helping patients with SDOH needs.
