The response to yesterday’s post about opening KaufCare has been incredible. After 20 years in the ER I saw the same thing every shift: Patients waiting forever. Ridiculous bills. Frustrating for patients & docs. Too many middlemen. That’s why we’re trying a different model.

Every family has different needs, that’s why they should be able to choose a health care plan that works best for them. It's time we fix Obamacare and put the power back in the hands of patients!

I’m not patting myself on the back, but I’ve been in the doctor business forever and when they passed the Hitech act in 2009 I knew it was a pending disaster, very few listened to me. This made it mandatory in EMRs that patients could email docs, and the doc had to have capacity to answer. This sounds wonderful and innocuous, no one but me saw the future. This feature, electronic messages from patients, is an absolute disaster for docs and NPs, I bring up NPs because they are the ones stuck with this, the docs dump it on them. Many docs admit they only hire NPs to handle these, and to handle crazy, needy patients. I can teach docs and NPs how to handle these and reclaim their lives, but again, they won’t listen to me, they’d rather burn out and quit the profession entirely. If you’re a patient reading this and think it doesn’t matter to you, you are “dead” wrong

I genuinely want to know why government hospitals in India are in such terrible shape. Why is no one held accountable for the lack of basic facilities? I saw another post where patients were sitting on the floor, & a dog came & urinated on the wall. How is all of this acceptable?

James Harden said he’s been on teams where there were “individual agendas” and this Clippers team doesn’t have that. “All of us are on the same page. We aren’t sugar coating anything. There’s no hidden agendas. We’re all trying to accomplish the same thing… Been in situations, certain teams where guys got individual agendas — whether it’s contract years or trying to make a name for themselves… Now for the most part, the 11th guy we all got the experience… It’s about one thing. And I think that’s a great thing going into the season.”

Medical boards were designed to protect patients, not to police a doctor’s free speech. Between license suspensions and retaliation for court testimony, the overreach has gone too far. We’re taking a stand for every physician and patient in America.

I believe in TERM LIMITS. I’ve already signed the pledge. Term limits is a Conservative principle, right? The problem is too many in Washington refuse to fire themselves after 20, 30, even 50 years in power. That’s why it’s up to WE THE PEOPLE to do it for them.

American Surgeon talking about US Health Insurance Companies denying coverage for patients in extreme need “Today, this patient was actually denied surgery initially, and he has spinal cord compression. He has spinal nerve compression, he has severe weakness, and he has a collapsed neck. So these are the challenges that we have every day. So to get patients to the OR takes a lot of people.” He then talks about how many people it actually takes just to overcome insurance company denies and get their patients care, “We battle this all the time.” “A patient who has a clear indication for surgery denied by the insurance company, - First they denied the surgery altogether - Then they said that I couldn't use cages to support the spine - Then they said I could do a three level fusion without a plate - Then they said the patient had to go home on the same day of surgery, which I think is, is actually dangerous” This video is crazy, the insurance company actually wants to leave patients in extremely dangerous situations even after surgery

Our team has two incredible, full-time professionals—Mary and Ebonie—dedicated to dealing with insurance. They advocate for our patients, so our patients can focus on healing. This week? They’ve been on repeat calls with the same insurer, trying to add procedure codes so patients can receive coverage for sensation preserving mastectomies. Twice now, after 30+ minutes on the line, the call just ends. No reference number. No resolution. Just—terminated. And without a reference number, there’s no way to track it, no accountability, and no clear path forward. All we have are the first names of the representatives who hung up. This happens often. And it’s exhausting. But we won’t stop showing up for patients. We’ll keep sharing these stories—because this shouldn’t be normal. Patients deserve better. Providers deserve better.

A patient miscarrying in an ER chair. A senior with a brain bleed waiting in an ER chair. A young mother with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy treated in an ER chair. This is the reality of hallway health care in Ontario. Because of hospital and ER overcrowding, hallway medicine has now metastasized beyond stretchers — into waiting room chairs. Doctors are caring for patients with metastatic cancer, bowel obstructions, dislocated joints, severe psychosis, and even the deadliest form of heart attack — all in ER chairs. This is what underfunding has done to our emergency rooms. Health care workers have been sounding the alarm for years. No one should fight for their life in an ER chair.

Emily Blunt & Stanley Tucci tell us why a sequel to ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA’ appealed to both of them. “That’s the opportunity with a sequel, to see the characters in a completely different emotional landscape... I think that’s why it was sort of good to see them 20 years on.”
