    Again, this is not true. Contrary to public misperception the final reader on every scan performed in the US is a US licensed and US board certified radiologist (uncommonly, preliminary afterhours reads in some hospitals are done overseas)

    Literally none of this is true. 1. Cancer staging scans are not being sent to India to be read - in general you cannot bill for reads performed outside the US 2. Scans cannot be read independently by AI 3. Hospitals are typically open on the weekend

    This happened because a radiologist is working their ass off to get cancer scans read at 11 pm on a Friday before the weekend and it is Federal law that results are immediately available to the patient in the electronic record
    Kevin Wimer @kevinace
    Healthcare is the only industry that drops your cancer scan results into an app at 11 PM on a Friday, then closes for the weekend. No call. No context. Just a PDF full of words like "suspicious" and "cannot be excluded" and a little banner that says "Sleep well!" Meanwhile billing found me in 4 hours 😐

    How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.
