If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

We are seeing an increase in “for-profit” medical institutions. From hospitals to hospice centers, if the bottom line is the only thing that matters, that means patients suffer. #MedSky #RadSky research.weill.cornell.edu/about-us/new...

#AI in #medicine & #radiology is only going to accelerate. I’ve used Aidoc and can absolutely understand why their revenue growth over 3 years (2020-2023) was over %1500. Powerful tools that help make healthcare better for patients. #MedSky #RadSky radiologybusiness.com/topics/artif...

This WSJ article has been making its way around the internet but it highlights some interesting points on how younger #physicians tend to value work/life balance as critical in their careers as compared to older generations. Some additional thoughts: www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca... #MedSky #RadSky

Young Doctors Want Work-Life Balance. Older Doctors Say That’s Not the Job.
Physicians for generations accepted being at the mercy of their pagers. Now, many are questioning medicine’s workaholic culture.
