Question for @brianglenntv: Would you have asked Ben Franklin the same question back in the day when he was seeking funding from the French? See @dieworkwear for more:
Benjamin Franklin wearing a coonskin cap while being received by the French court. "Proper" attire at the time would have been a powdered wig, but Franklin enjoyed playing up his "rustic" American identity. On these trips, he asked for military support for newly independent US.

Why don't you wear a suit when you come to the Oval Office with the President? Do you even own a suit?

I'm medically adjacent (partner is in FM) and I follow a bunch of folks on #MedTwitter Last year on Match Day I had no clue what was going on but now I know how huge it is. Congrats to all the folks that matched. And to those that didn't dont be discouraged. 1/2

AMEN!
Yes! Gov should have set up the ability for established fam doc offices to take on salaried NPs/other part time docs to form “collaborative clinics” and perhaps in exchange for this then agree to take on a set # of orphaned pts. Ppl get great care when NPs and Docs work together

“811 told me to come” “Why?” “I don’t know exactly” As the ER doc assuming care for the patient, if I could only see the 811 notes… No handover, no transfer of care discussion, no documentation. We shouldn’t accept this in medicine. Transfers of care are risky enough.

MOH confirms 811 is paid $82 per call. This week patient in FP office for 40mins: chronic pain issue, joint injection, Pap test and MOA did full ht/wt/BP and preventative health review. I'll do charting, referrals and check labs on the weekend. Total 60min. MCP = $77/visit @nlma

Keeping in mind FFS docs have zero benefits, pension, sick leave or vacation, they pay up to 30% overhead and 50% taxes. So take home $33 for that hour. (or $27 if MCP audit doesn't like my documentation) @nlma @CFPCNL @MUNFamMed

Thanks to my partner who just reminded me that FFS has alternate interpretation than my intended "Fee For Service" abbreviation.

@Johnrockdoc regularly voiced disrespect for the work of Fam Docs. This is disrespect in action. I, too, would like to hear an explanation @_nlma @FureyAndrew @TomOsborneMHA

Folks-please keep your eye out for these skates in a pink bag that were stolen from a vehicle-they may have abandoned them in Georgetown area or beyond...a young skater is distraught that they are missing-as they were the only item they brought with them from Ukraine.

NL Family Docs get nickel & dimed for legit work already done, refused payment & so simply submit bills for *less* than we deserve just to avoid MCP aduit. For a $33 visit. 811 gets $82 call with a stranger. This is a punch in the guts for RETENTION. @_nlma @CFPCNL @MUNFamMed
