Some patients are simply less sympathetic than others, and foolish or crazy patients can quickly land on that list.

#LetThemDie #SelfTriage
"This is the minimum standard of care," I can see some thinking: "Take your mechanistic, paint-by-number pills and go die elsewhere, far away from my bother."

"I don't have time for this gender nonsense: Bugger off."

"I get paid either way, and this way is less bother."

Dear @OptumRx & @SanfordHealth you are NOT his #physician. You know nothing of his #health hx. Two years ago #Sanford #Bismarck #pain clinic pulled all #patients off #opioid #pain medications. This was not #patientcentered care, but care deemed appropriate BY administrators 1

I am truly sick upon reading of this senseless tragedy. A #family #physician killed by one of his #patients in #Alberta #Canada. In the #USA we have a broken #healthcare system; #physicians overworked, they are often being dictated the care 1/ todayville.com/community-raisā€¦

@PVCHC

So, today, I'm declaring a #SocialMedia #War on you. Your #PrinthouseParkway location is a #clusterfuck of carelessness and stupidity.
Daughter was seen there by a Nurse Practitioner on the 10th of March.

NP provided two scripts, to be transmitted electronically, including a steroid and pain relief.

Ten days to get transmitted electronically?
Cancelled scripts?
