When "cancer" is a diagnosis but not really a disease
A slightly more philosophical piece than my usual—on what we mean by cancer, and whether the word itself can sometimes do more harm than good.... let me know what you think!
Many thanks @pam3001 @aeonmag

At least 1/4 #NFL players who died between 2016-2021 suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), according to recent study.
Scarier: Over 90% of the brains actually donated and studied from that timeframe had #CTE; the rest were not examined. nytimes.com/athletic/7537724…

“The cracks in our health system are no longer small fractures ... hidden beneath the walls. They are structural failures affecting lives every single day.”
In his inaugural address as the AMA’s 181st president, Willie Underwood III, MD, MSc, MPH, delivers a call to action for medicine. From physician shortages and burnout to persistent barriers to care, he highlights the challenges facing patients and physicians, as well as the responsibility to build a more equitable, accessible health system for all.

Thank you, @AZAGMayes, for taking this meaningful step toward improving healthcare for Arizona physicians and the patients they serve. It's time to level the playing field and put a stop to price-fixing in the commercial medical insurance industry.

MultiPlan and major insurance companies across Arizona allegedly conspired to keep payments to providers low in a scheme to pad their profit margins.

This case is another example of old-fashioned price-fixing using new technology, but it’s against the law all the same.

❗️AMA survey shows harms. Policymakers action is warranted.
26%: PA has led to serious adverse event for a patient in their care
79%: PA can at least sometimes lead
to treatment abandonment
❗️Insurers largely not meeting their commitments to improve PA.

Feeling very thankful today after the @ArizonaMedicine annual meeting and serving as president this past year. The ArMA staff did an amazing job in coordinating the event! It has been an honor to serve and advocate for our patients and our profession!
It was also meaningful to have my @AmerMedicalAssn colleagues in attendance: @PresAmerMed , and AMA Board of Trustee @SheilaRegeMD , and the Arizona AMA delegation! Will see them again in June at the AMA annual meeting representing the @AmerUrological !
@ArizonaMedicine
THANKS to AMA President Bobby Mukkamala @PresAmerMed for addressing the @ArizonaMedicine annual meeting
“Let us be healers, yes—but let us be warriors when necessary”.
A well deserved standing ovation!

🌠 Physicians score major win
with @CMSGov claims electronic attachments rule.
CMS’ final rule on claims attachments reflects the @AmerMedicalAssn’s successful and sustained advocacy to standardize electronic attachments for claims.

Unacceptable. Sad. Hard to fathom how we got here – at Pittsburgh, PA
This is a stunning new statistic from @IQVIA_global: 70% of new prescriptions are initially rejected by private insurers. Many of those prescriptions are eventually approved, but it can take up to a year, and about one-quarter are still ultimately denied.

Today we broke ground on the ASU Health headquarters, a new hub for medical education, technology and regional partnerships. I'm grateful to the leaders and partners helping build a healthier Arizona.
