Okay, but my baby has a really cute onesie. 🧠
ALT Baby in a white onesie that says “Relax… my Mom is a Neurologist”
Had a peer to peer scheduled with @UHC as they denied a medication for my patient. I explained what clinical trials have shown, guidelines, and expert medical opinion. Doc then responded that she can’t override the denial due to “plan policy.” 1/5
I will be going further with an external appeal. @UHC will pay for my healthcare for my patient. Unfortunately, the delays mean more time to reap profits off interest. That’s why the system is set up this way. 5/5
Insurance denied Nurtec for patient because it wasn’t on their formulary. I couldn’t find their formulary online so I called to ask. They informed me that rimegepant is on formulary and I can order that.
Friends… rimegepant and Nurtec are same damn medication.

Everyone has the right to their test results but having patients being able to see them before the doctor is just adding extra stress and anxiety. Let the medical team review the results and then give it to the patients with an explanation.
Whooo…. After months of procrastination, I finally took my continuous certification exam to remain a certified Headache Specialist and…. I PASSED!
The testing never ends….

I sit in this room - its walls adorned with portraits of the giants of our field - to get work done every time I'm on service.
I can't help but wonder if their visions of the future of neurology included (Black, disabled, Latina) neurologists like me.
ALT A Black woman with her hair in long twists takes a selfie in front of two portraits. The woman wears a satiny green button down shirt and has a N95 mask looped around her neck. The portraits depict two older white men, both of whom have gray hair and who are wearing glasses, one of whom is in a black suit and the other of whom is wearing a gray suit.
I just wanted people to be aware that the @DGlaucomflecken Cinematic Universe has its own wiki and I am pleased with this.

Prep for interview season: Make sure you have a clean and professional interview space, clear webcam, and reliable internet. Ask your school for designated spaces if necessary. Dress well even though it's virtual! Do your homework: know why you applied to each respective program.

Can we stop saying certain patients are “VIP”?
Either everyone or no one is VIP.
Stop insinuating that some patients deserve different or better care than others.

As an intern, just want to express how important and valuable medical students are to the team. Like your hard work is so appreciated and honestly does make a big difference! Any resident/attending that makes you feel otherwise needs to rethink their career in medicine 🤷🏼♀️

New in @NEJM.
“Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.”

1 hour, nothing accomplished. This is why medicine is fed up with insurance companies.
I hung up defeated, but I feel like this is exactly what they want. Beat you down until you give up.
I will start again tomorrow. We must advocate for patients
