Doctors working for health insurers can rule on 10,000 or more requests for care a year. At least a dozen were hired by major insurance companies after being disciplined by state medical boards or making multiple or outsized malpractice payments.
It really does though. Medicine is far too siloed and far more specialized now days than most people realize. This makes it nearly impossible for someone to really be able to determine medical necessity outside of their specialty. I would never trust a surgeon on endocrine issues or an emergency physician on primary care. The skill set and knowledge is just so wildly different.
There is a reason physicians are trying to get laws passed that would require peer to peers be conducted by people in the same specialty.
The fight over abortion in Ohio will test whether vulnerable Democrats can turn public support for abortion rights into campaign victories — even if the elections are a year apart.
No they don't, when you include Islamic attacks (which are absolutely right wing as they are religious authoritarian extremists) the number jumps to 96%.
The state has one of the country’s highest maternal mortality rates. Now, three hospitals plan to stop delivering babies, putting some pregnant women at even higher risk.
Which is frankly terrifying. ER docs are only required to do 10 deliveries during residency, which are often as glorified observers. I did nearly 100 deliveries in my rural unopposed FM residency and that was no where near enough to feel comfortable making it a part of my practice.
They are cutting some truly useful majors here. Women's, critical race, and social justice studies are all fantastic foundations for social work and HR. HIT and health communications are very in demand and are only going to increase as our population ages. Really though, none of these are really truly useless. I'm in medicine and the best doctors and nurses are those that have non traditional backgrounds, those that did social sciences in undergrad on top of their prereqs all seem to have an easier time with the critical thinking required by the job. Florida is really intentionally destroying an entire generation's future.
Considering I took a suspension for "report abuse/harassment" for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.
Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for "terrorist threats." The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.
I don't, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn't have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.
Ive watched videos and I always end up getting really overwealmed, its also cost. Like the thrift stores in my area arnt very decent, and you can’t try on anything anymore but I’m still on a budget. I kinda want to avoid shein, cause sizing was strange, and child labor. How stuff fits is also kinda hard since I don’t...
Yes on the sewing machine! A good sewing making is pretty cheap in the long run too. My mom has been using the same machine for 30+ years and my cheap brother machine has been holding out great. Plus, if your ambitious you can even re-tailor old stuff to your new fit.
There are like 2 station wagons on the US market. I'd love one, but I'm not into VWs and the Volvo PHEV wagon is only available as a $75,000 performance wagon and no one makes an EV wagon.
At my last telehealth appointment, I asked my provider if I could switch to injections after reading some advice on here. Taking the strain off of my liver seems like it can only be a good thing!...
It really is. <1-2% of people de transition and of that over 90% cite bigotry and transphobia as the reason. So, 1/1000 to 1/500 is pretty fucking rare. Medical interventions are recommended based on number needed to treat, stains for heart attack need to treat 60 people to prevent one person having a heart attack, for strokes is 238. The NNT for trans people is 1, transition is literally the best supported and effective treatment in medicine.
It’s super variable. Travel nurses in OB at my hospital were making $225 an hour. This was in rural CA where the average nurse made low $100k a year though. Some in red states are still in the $50k range though.
Hey, born in WA, changed my name while living in Shasta county. I filed my name and gender change request with the county court and a few months later had a court order with the new name and gender. Then I used that court order to change my WA birth certificate.
Definitely agree with getting extra certified copies. The WA DOL will not return the copy you send them.
