A #Houston#hospital is investigating whether a #doctor altered a #transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new #organs.
#MemorialHermann-Texas Med Ctr in #Houston, where Bynon oversaw both liver & kidney #transplant prgs, abruptly shut those down in the past wk while looking into allegations.
Thurs, the #medical ctr, a UTexas teaching #hospital, said it had found evidence a #doctor in its liver transplant prg had effectively denied patients transplants by changing recs. Ofcls ID’d the dr as Bynon, who is employed by U #Texas#Health#Science Ctr & has lead Mem Hermann’s abdominal transplant prg since 2011.
Reading the RollingStone article on the new #Doctor ( #doctorwho )got me so excited! Here are some quotes.
"Not that previous Doctors were badly dressed, mind. “I love Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor’s, outfits. Lovely velvet jackets and frilly shirts. I feel a connection to him, our Doctors are the only two who dress like sluts,” he laughs."
“The hair and makeup department have been incredible,” ...we weren’t going to have the Afro, but Bella convinced me ... the Doctor is fucking Black.”
Pro Tip: Do NOT use a "BUY ONE, GET TWO FREE!" coupon when you go to the doctor. I thought I had a hernia. I don't. I have THREE hernias. 🙄🙄🙄 I have no idea when I can get them repaired. I've had MORE than enough of the last 4+ years.
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me bc my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 6 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony & no #pain control.
As international concerns remain about a potential Israeli offensive in the city of #Rafah, #Gaza, a #Calgary#doctor who has been volunteering in the border city this month has been told to leave because the situation is too dangerous.
Dr. Fozia Alvi says she was part of the first foreign primary care team to assist the sick and injured in Rafah. The team was able to deliver medication for epilepsy and broad spectrum antibiotics, as well as pain medication.
The #NHScrisis takes many forms... and #toxic management & staff relations is one (more).
In a defunded, stressed #healthservice, with staff burning out & over-worked (due to unfilled jobs), we can expect inter-personal relations to become strained (to say the least).
In this case, a #female#doctor was driven to take her own life, triggered by a delay in removing herself from a toxic work environment.
Whatever the local issues, behind this is (still) #tory wrecking!
"Translated to the population of #Canada, our survey estimates that more than 6.5 million adults across the country don't have access to a family #doctor or nurse practitioner they can see regularly. And even those lucky enough to have a family doctor are struggling to get timely care for urgent concerns or care on evenings and weekends."

Dr. Mohammad Harara, whom NBC News has been following since December, joined an estimated 1 million displaced Gazans crammed in the southern border town.
Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of #RoevWade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the #war” – has argued in favor of forcing #rape and #incest#victims as young as nine or 10 to carry #pregnancies to term.
No one was in the waiting room👍Mom's follow up appointment went well. No new blood work until end of April. I got her blood pressure dosage increased⚕️
Took Mom to see the community gardens & watch rapids at Gorge Park, after her #doctor's appointment - photos to follow.

16 Apr 1660: b. Hans Sloane at Killyleagh Co. Down, #doctor & naturalist, investor in the slave trade, whose collections became part of the foundation of the #British Museum
The last time my #doctor asked me what foods I ate, I responded:
"GMOs, dairy and sometimes a bit of fructose." Oh, and wheat.
I don't know why she started giggling uncontrollably. 🤔
