Young Doctors Advise Purpose Of Prove As Well As Disclosure
Friday, September 17, 2010
A follow-up to an before post. Jonathan Giftos, a resident phsyician inwards primary attention in addition to social medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, in addition to his colleague Dr. Sam Cohen attended this session:
Lenox Hill Hospital, business office of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, is offering a gratuitous informative level on Thursday, Jan 8th from 6-7:30 p.m. alongside David Samadi, MD, chair of urology in addition to main of robotic surgery, most what women tin create to assist hold the men inwards their lives good for you lot in addition to happy.
I include excerpts of Jonathan's study on Facebook without farther comment:
Drinking a beer alongside Dr Sam Cohen subsequently going toe-to-toe alongside David Samadi at his shameless, chauvinistic, pandering in addition to misleading verbalize promoting en masse PSA screening inwards an unselected patient population, described famously past times Shannon Brownlee equally "the loss-leader for robotic surgery."
Unsurprisingly, at that topographic point was no conflict of involvement disclosure. Gross deception equally he described "screening" equally a uniformly expert matter that the authorities is trying to receive got away inwards social club to relieve money. Characterizing women equally emotional, shop-a-holics in addition to and thus exploiting their worries over their husbands' wellness to promote evidence-less medicine for net income was besides a highlight. That an academic medical ticker similar North Shore-LIJ Health System allowed this to give is deeply problematic.
Sam in addition to I got the mic for most v minutes. Challenged his blatant disregard for USPSTF recommendations. Challenged his decision that because at that topographic point isn't a amend examination out at that topographic point nosotros mightiness equally good operate on using 1 that is known to motion to a greater extent than impairment than good. He dodged the conflict of involvement query in addition to essentially told us to become dorsum to Brooklyn.
There were no other dissenting views inwards the room. He ignored my query equally to whether somebody who earns to a greater extent than or less $8 meg dollars a twelvemonth off this examination should break their conflict of involvement when promoting a examination thus indiscriminately. He responded to Sam's query re: the information that shows en masse the PSA to locomote to a greater extent than harmful than expert past times bringing upwards the married adult woman of a old patient who was diagnosed alongside early on prostate cancer to become on tape in addition to "teach us" why the PSA saved her husband's life. The audience clapped. The intellectual dishonesty was tough to watch. He concluded past times maxim that Elizabeth Hasselbeck is on board alongside his approach, equally nosotros should be.
All inwards all, an enormously frustrating upshot to attend. But glad to stand upwards up against the shameless exploitation of our patients in addition to our healthcare organisation for fiscal gain.
Now, what to create alongside this lousy t-shirt.
