Replying to @DutchRojas @CharlesLutzMD
I used to ask patients how much they thought I was paid to do certain surgeries. I generally asked about carotid endarterectomy.
For those that don’t know what that is, it’s removing plaque from the main artery to the brain to prevent a stroke. There is very little if any margin for error.
One guy told me I must have been paid $25K. His wife batted him with her purse and scolded him for guessing such a low amount. She thought it was more like $100K.
I told them the actual amount was about $1K.
BTW, that hasn’t changed in 30 years. And 60% of that went to overhead.
The patient slowly shook his head and said “you’re getting screwed.”
It’s crazy how little we get paid for these extraordinary procedures.

Vascular surgery is an essential yet overlooked part of healthcare systems. It drives better outcomes, reduces complications and generates revenue—all while enabling higher-acuity care across service lines. Learn more: bit.ly/48fF2pM #HighwaytoHealth #BeckersHealthcare

I believe SVS working with ACS on this …. @leith_erica . Goes like this :
A. Hemorrhage is a major cause of death after trauma.
B. Vascular surgeons are experts on hemmorhage.
C. Vascular surgeons should receive call payment to support trauma programs .
Two great presentations here @VESurgery by our fellow Dr. Jessica Efird and our research resident Dr. Mo Ayouty. @VascularSurgCS @DeptSurgeryCS

🚨 Nearly 1 in 3 high-risk Americans have never heard of common vascular diseases like PAD or carotid artery disease.
That’s why we launched #HighwayToHealth - a multi-year campaign raising awareness of vascular disease and the critical role vascular surgeons play in prevention and treatment.

According to a new national survey, 80% of PCPs are not confident they can recognize & diagnose vascular conditions. And, when asked to identify symptoms of common vascular diseases, only 6% were able to do so correctly. Read our press release for more: vascular.org/news-advocacy/a…
