Big moment loading… 👀 This Thursday (5th) at 8 PM EST I’ll be going live on the Getting It Wright Podcast to share my medical school announcement. If you’ve followed my premed journey, you won’t want to miss this one. Watch live on YouTube. medicalschoolhq.ac-page.com/getting-it-w...

Getting It Wright: Premed Happy Hour is a laid-back, honest space to talk about the questions premeds usually feel like they can’t ask out loud. From the application process to the realities of the journey, and even whether this path is the right fit, nothing is off limits.

🐼💸 This panda just found out why his patient didn’t come in sooner, they were already $8,000 in medical debt. Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America. Families skip care, delay treatment, and live in fear of the next bill. But there’s hope.

Medicare’s COVID-era telehealth flexibilities expired on Sept 30, 2025 creating confusion and new barriers to care. That means: 🚫 Patients with chronic illnesses may need to drive hours for appointments. 💻 Small rural clinics could lose funding without telehealth visits.

Prior Authorization was designed to reduce unnecessary care but in practice, it often delays urgent treatment and exhausts both patients and providers. You’ve likely experienced it if: 📌 Your prescription was denied, even though your doctor approved it 📌 Your MRI got postponed for “review”

Insurance systems sometimes feel like obstacle courses disguised as “coverage.” Long phone calls. Confusing plan details. Endless paperwork. Denials that make no sense & patients aren’t the only ones stuck; providers spend hours fighting the same maze. This is why understanding health policy matters

Some kids ask Santa for toys. Others ask for something no child should ever have to worry about: healthcare. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) helps cover care for millions of kids in working families, from vaccines and prescriptions to dental and vision.

In the U.S., prescription drugs cost nearly 2.8× more than in other developed countries, driven by complex pricing systems, pharmacy benefit managers, and limited transparency. For many families, that means choosing between a refill or the electric bill.

Being nervous during the med school application process isn’t a “you” problem. It’s a math problem. 📉 51,423 applicants to U.S. MD schools last cycle. ✅ Only 22,262 matriculated. That’s around a 43% acceptance rate and much lower at individual schools. The data explains the fear.

@premedical-tyga.bsky.social Don’t let a headline do all the thinking for you. 🧠 You can literally search the study name and check for yourself if it’s: – Peer-reviewed – Statistically sound – Funded by someone who benefits from the outcome 👀 Science isn’t gatekept anymore.
