finally consistent about remembering to tell complicated patients : “there r many specialists following w/ large teams. You may hear conflicting info but we r all talking behind the scenes. If u have ???s I am the go-to person”. it works so well to prevent frustration. – at Birmingham, AL

Glad to see North Carolina signing Medicaid Expansion into law today after being passed by their Republican-majority legislature. We must do the same to #CoverAlabama and put people’s lives and health over politics. 80% of states have expanded - let’s not wait to be the last! – at Montgomery, AL

Ran into @blairgolden presenting awesome work at #SHMConverge23. Putting chairs 🪑 in the patients’ rooms resulted in ⬆️ patient-reported resident communication behaviors - including spending enough time at the bedside. Simple and elegant intervention. Just. Sit. Down. 🪑

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

Proud to support @thechangecamp in the fight to #EndStructuralRacism and be the light in every space I enter! I represented #AtatianaJefferson, XULA alum, who’s dream was to be a physician. She was studying for the MCAT prior to her death in 2019 at 28 YO. #BeTheCHANGE
