CIGNA Claim Denials and the Shame of For Profit Medicine

Posted by Dike Drummond MD

Healthcare in the USA has so much to be ashamed of:

  • Falling life expectancy
  • Abysmal maternal mortality rates
  • Massive overspending
All of those shortfalls are in comparison to all other 1st world countries.

Much of the blame for all of this rests with our multi-payor, fee-for-service, for-profit healthcare delivery system. 

Here is a SHINING EXAMPLE of the routine behavior of Cigna - one of the big pigs at the fee-for-service trough.

A doctor's heart, with steadfast will did quell

The mortal ills that in the flesh did dwell.

The "Little Voice" Physician Burnout Survey

Posted by Dike Drummond MD

If your conscious mind is asking, "Is this what burnout feels like?" Your Little Voice already has the answer.

One of the things physicians ask me on our coaching Discovery Call is whether or not I think they are burned out.

They want a second opinion from a fellow doctor. That's a natural instinct and yet, my opinion is completely irrelevant in the arc of their life as a physician. The choice to change and grow has nothing to do with me or what I think or feel.

What matters is how YOU feel.

It's all about feelings. Burnout is not a rational process. It is not about ratings or scales or scores or someone else's opinion. Burnout is something you FEEL. Burnout is something your rational mind is always trying to talk you out of.

Stop Physician Burnout - how to reach out to a colleague in distress

Physician Burnout - how to reach out to a colleague in distress - [VIDEO TRAINING]

If you could save someone's life in a two minute conversation, would you speak up?

The situation I am talking about isn't even really a conversation most of the time. It is just you, caring enough to ask a question. If all it took was a question to save a person's life, would you ask it?

Would you ask even if it feels awkward, takes what feels like courage, might make them uncomfortable and you are not sure what to do if they reach back to you for support?
