"I knew other medical colleagues who could never return to the hospital where they had lost a child or loved one, and I understood."

The so-called President of Peace who so-called conservative Christians claim is backed by Jesus or will even compare to Jesus, seems very excited to take lives and sacrifice Americans for war crimes.

There is no justifying this war or these attitudes towards fellow humans.

When the best #clinicians at your #hospital have zero ability to move up the chain, there is something really wrong with your incentive structure. Unlike this very venerable #physician, I highly doubt the equivalent talented clinicians will dedicate 33+ years to #academicmedicine - they'll leave

Physician legal protection: Surviving academic medical center blame __Share __Tweet __Share On October 20, 2015, I did something unremarkable: I turned on the GPS app on my Android phone before driving to work. I had no idea that routine act would one day save my career and expose a pattern of institutional behavior that every academic physician needs to understand. I was an assistant professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at a major academic medical center. Two days after a high-risk patient died following a procedure in our clinic, a procedure I had no involvement in, I was called into risk management and told my name was on the patient’s record. The implication was clear: I was being positioned as the responsible surgeon. What followed was a masterclass in how academic institutions protect themselves at the expense of the people who work for them. **Risk management is not your friend** The first thing risk management did was offer to represent me. A senior colleague, a former residency chairman turned dean, pulled me aside and said something I have never forgotten: “Risk management exists to protect administration, not the foot soldiers.” He was right. When institutional liability is at stake, risk management’s primary loyalty is to the institution, not to you, your license, or your reputation. Accepting their representation is, at minimum, a serious conflict of interest. At worst, it is the mechanism by which you become the scapegoat. My first and most important act of self-preservation was retaining independent legal counsel at my own expense, before doing anything else. Every academic physician should consider prepaid supplemental legal coverage independent of institutional malpractice insurance. Not because you expect to need it. Because by the time you know you need it, it may be too late. **Your department chair and dean will sacrifice you** I do not say this with bitterness. I say it as documented fact. When my department chair came under scrutiny from the state dental board for her role in the patient’s death, the institutional response was to deflect responsibility downward. When my dean became aware of the board’s preliminary findings, his response was not to protect a member of his faculty, it was to insulate the institution. Institutions need scapegoats. When something goes wrong, a patient death, a regulatory inquiry, a media inquiry, the instinct of institutional leadership is to find the most defensible narrative, not the most truthful one. Individual physicians are expendable. The institution’s reputation is not. Understanding this is not cynicism. It is survival. **July 1st is the most dangerous day in academic medicine** Every physician knows what July first means: new residents, disrupted chains of command, supervision gaps, and the inevitable institutional growing pains of a training year beginning. Patients entering academic medical centers during this transition period face elevated risk, not from malice, but from the structural reality of how training programs operate. The patient in my case was high-risk by any clinical measure. He had end-stage liver disease. His coagulation status alone should have triggered a more conservative treatment plan and rigorous supervision. Those safeguards failed, not because of my actions, but because of failures in the supervisory chain above me. Failures that were later formally documented by state regulators. For patients: Ask who is supervising your procedure. Ask whether your attending will be physically present. Ask whether the physician of record has personally reviewed your chart. These are not rude questions. They are the questions that can save your life. **Become a digital warrior** Here is where my story takes an unexpected turn, and where I believe it has the most practical value for physicians today. When I was accused of being present and responsible for a procedure I had nothing to do with, I had one thing working in my favor: My Android phone’s GPS timeline had been running all morning. The data showed, with mathematical precision, exactly where I was, when I arrived at the hospital, and that the procedure was already near completion when I got there. It was not a smoking gun, it was a smoking timestamp. Irrefutable, independently verifiable, impossible to spin. The institution’s own dean, when confronted with this GPS evidence during a legal deposition, dismissed it as “a lot of bullshit.” He was later asked to explain that characterization at considerable legal expense to the institution. Digital evidence has changed the power equation between individual physicians and institutional narratives. GPS coordinates cannot be spun, reinterpreted, or quietly altered. Email metadata does not lie. The smartphone you carry is, in the right circumstances, the most powerful legal instrument you own. Practical steps every academic physician should take today: * Keep location services enabled on your smartphone at all times. You do not know in advance which day will require documentation of your whereabouts. * BCC critical communications to a personal, non-institutional email account. Institutional email access can be revoked overnight. Your own account cannot. * Use your smartphone camera to document EHR records when necessary. Institutional records can be modified. Photographs of records carry timestamps and metadata. * Maintain your own contemporaneous documentation of critical communications, decisions, and events, separate from institutional systems entirely. **The outcome** The state dental board ultimately found in my favor. The physician whose supervisory failures caused the patient’s death accepted formal disciplinary action for “Unacceptable Patient Care”, the most serious professional misconduct charge available under state dental law. She had fought the charges for over two years before capitulating rather than face a public administrative hearing. The dramatic irony, which I have had years to appreciate, is that the institution that trained me to become a health care informaticist, to use data, found itself on the wrong end of the very data practices it had taught me. I had turned what they taught me against them. Though I would say more accurately: I was simply lucky I had my GPS turned on. **The book that could not be published until now** I have spent nearly a decade documenting this story in full, the patient who died needlessly, the institutional response, the legal proceedings, and everything that GPS data, deposition transcripts, and regulatory findings revealed about how a prestigious academic medical center chose reputation over accountability. The result is a book that no traditional publisher would touch, not because the facts are in dispute, but because powerful institutions have powerful lawyers, and publishers have boards. The fear of “lawfare” from an institution with deep pockets is itself a form of censorship. But GPS coordinates do not require a publisher’s approval. And neither does the truth. _David M.H.

I don't know if any of the #Physician members of #Congress still practice #clinically after they were elected (I know Dr. Maxine Dexter was working #ICU shifts pretty much until day she got seated), but the Democratic (i.e, still under 65) members do still do provide useful #medical services

Growing the #Workforce: To address the #physician shortage, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is funding 400 new #medical residency positions across the country. Most of the positions will go to primary care and psychiatry programs.

One of my #physician followers recently said we need to take #observational studies with a grain of salt, and yeah, I'm a bit skeptical about the causality in this one. But yes, definitely not getting #influenza is itself great for older adults.
