There is no "belief" in science. Science is science. There's a process. There's a protocol. There's hypothesis, observation, data, and conclusions. And not many things become "Law". Most things are "Theory". And science changes as long as knowledge grows. RFK Jr is the death of knowledge.

The other side of this is that we have a government, HHS, and heads of HHS and CMS that don't believe in science. And they'll just start denying everything that has good scientific backing. The slippery slope did not just happen in Medicare. It started at the 2024 election.
Dr C (@drcarroll.com) reply parent
The slippery slope here is not a burdensome practice--it's actually that more procedures will be pursued by physicians to make up for lost revenue on procedures being denied.
Dr C (@drcarroll.com) reply parent
I know this is likely to be an unpopular opinion. But one of the best features of Medicare Part B is that we know what's covered and what's not covered. There are plenty of things that Part B doesn't cover which should be--wide vaccine choices, certain lab tests, etc. That's understood.
Dr C (@drcarroll.com) reply parent
But Medicare Part B would be better off simply denying these treatments, and allow patients to choose to pay on their own if they felt it would benefit them. The cost of such procedures would decrease (market economics) and administrative burden would be less.
Dr C (@drcarroll.com)
There is waste in healthcare, absolutely. There are doctors doing dubious treatments with little to no benefit to patient but plenty of financial benefit to physician or system. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...

Family Physician, MD. I find it to be more effective, less side effects. It's like shooting at a moving target with a bullet versus a shotgun. You're more likely to hit the right portion of a target with a shotgun (a broader shot). Bullet, you may hit the target, but you have a > chance to miss.

Chill, dude. Most patients with psychosis are diagnosed pretty early, because the signs of psychosis are so overt--usually significant antisocial behavior, criminal behavior, violence, etc. This is not a subtle sign--psychosis is fairly overt. It's pretty easy to create a baseline cohort here.

This is why Primary Care does not get paid squat. Because anesthesia somehow manages to get paid $9000 for a 15 minute colonoscopy sedation. Until this gets fixed, likely through government regulation, our system will continue to prioritize procedural rather than cognitive care.

The only way to destroy an abscess is to lance it. Expose the pus. Get it all out. Irrigate the hell out of the wound bed. Sometimes you need to pack the wound to keep it from filling back up. Get on antibiotics. Make sure it's all exposed. Only then will it heal correctly. Ugly but necessary.
