Join our revolution! @patientrevolution.org

Make a fuss. Be disruptive. Do whatever you need to do to get the care you need Advocate for yourself, and when you have the health to do so, advocate for comprehensive healthcare coverage for all Whenever possible, be the voice which so many people lack <3 Read the whole thread

To give you a sense of how pervasive this problem is - my ER missed my STROKE this week! The arteries to my brain are so narrowed, and they discharged me with no treatment. If I get my BP checked lying flat it feels like im being strangled to death. ER totally missed it.

This is why we need a patient revolution. Healthcare is sick and we all need to demand reform. We need more caring and slower care. Please support @patientrevolution.org and its efforts to reform industrialized healthcare.

Corruption in healthcare. This is why we revolt.

Caregivers unite! Against cruelty and the cruel exclusion of any persons from care. Fear bites your tongue until you learn that you have no voice. Caregivers speak up for your patients! Let’s find our collective courage and stand up for care.

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Every part of the healthcare system is stretched and at or near crisis level, but the ER departments are in serious crisis. THE PITT and this article show how hard it is on the healthcare professionals--WHICH HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON PATIENTS TOO.

My favorite sign (for obvious reasons) from today's "Hands Off!" protest n Charlottesville. Over 2,000 people showed up. Darn good for a small metro area. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, to @indivisiblecville.bsky.social for organizing the event. BTW, the protester's father is a retired history professor. Clearly a good man.

Those same people should also be given adequate monetary compensation, whether they return or not.

NEW: Calling the firings a “sham,” a federal judge on Thursday ordered federal agencies to rehire tens of thousands of probationary employees who were fired amid Donald Trump’s turbulent effort to drastically shrink the federal bureaucracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Healthcare in its current form cannot accommodate this often enough and thousands suffer because of it. We need more advocacy for SLOWER, KINDER healthcare! Please check out @patientrevolution.org to learn more!

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The divide in politics today is between unreality and reality. Those who seek to rule the world blur human experience and smudge memory, making cooperation and friendship laughable and unthinkable. Ukraine resists an unreality war. snyder.substack.com/p/the-realit...

This is what healthcare needs more of. We need a #patientrevolution @patientrevolution.org "One More Thing" open.substack.com/pub/drzedzha...

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just clarified on X that the rescission of the OMB memo was simply to get the federal court case to go away, not lifting the funding freeze on anything that goes against Trump's EOs translation: "please stop yelling at me for the thing i want to keep doing"

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily. All are insurrectionists. We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

As expected, the US withdrawing from the WHO, making everything just a little more complicated: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I am heartbroken for all the Jewish people around me and everywhere whose family members died in the Holocaust, and who today saw the richest man in the world perform a Nazi salute during the Presidential inauguration.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

#MedSky #MilMed #SurgSky This country has lost the plot. We pay premiums (& not small ones) to insurance companies who in turn BLOCK access to healthcare?! Now they’re questioning if prosthetic limbs are necessary? Had enough? Call your reps in Congress 202-224-3121. abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/h...

Our research group runs on four principles: patient-centered, integrity, generosity, and pertinence. These are most helpful when it is hardest to stick to them. They have kept us together for 20 years.

The unhurried conversation is the heart of effective health care Thanks @vmontori.bsky.social et al #MedEd #bioethics www.annfammed.org/content/22/6...

Want a specific example of the death by a thousand cuts that is #PriorAuthorization? Here is an example from yesterday in clinic A short 🧵 I get a note in my inbox that a patient of mine was denied inhaled budesonide for their asthma 1/

Exactly. Don Berwick had it spot on when he wrote Salve Lucrum: the existential threat of greed in US health care. WHEN and HOW does this get better??? tinyurl.com/5fzpbymt

This is Why We Revolt. @patientrevolution.org - the longest chapter in the book is Greed. We need a healthcare system based on solidarity not greed. Greed produces cruel indifference in the name of efficiency (value), not the conditions for care.

"We must remember our human obligation to care—there as well as here—in a world split between peace and violence, privilege and deprivation." Don’t turn away from the suffering in the world, write Fares Alahdab and @vmontori.bsky.social #ChristmasBMJ www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Perhaps worthy of your consideration.

“We must remember our human obligation to care—there as well as here—in a world split between peace and violence, privilege and deprivation. We need to face these truths head on, notice our burdened heart, our conscience guilty of silence, our lack of action, and our failure to take a stand.”
