The "I Can't Believe There's No Abortion Thread" Part Deux: Electric Boogaloo

If Kate Cox can't get an abortion in Texas where they supposedly have exceptions then no one can (of course the wealthy always can but that's another issue). I again will never understand any woman voting for this. I know white males are a lost cause, I'm one of them.

And ignorance. I have a homeschooled coworker who genuinely believes the scientific evidence for divine creation is as strong as for evolution, because his "teachers" (parents) and all his reading material, and all his peers, say that.

Once a population self-isolates, they can recycle their myths forever.

Key to their decision was that doctors do not have to appeal to the courts to perform an abortion under the minuscule exemptions allowed by state law. They denied this one because the doctor was only subjectively certain it was necessary, whereas the law requires objective certainty. Further, even if they do declare it objectively necessary, they will be subject to legal and criminal review. Which means on one hand they're telling people that abortions are not fully banned, but also that if you do them you'll go to jail.


If I'm an insurance company providing malpractice/other insurance to providers, am I just leaving Texas at this point? How would an OB provider be remotely insurable under these circumstances?




I know, I know. Feature, not bug.

Been saying this for quite some time- there is no way to be safe and practice in the Handmaiden States. If I am licensed in MA and TX I cannot practice without being in jeopardy. If I provide appropriate standard care I will be charged in TX. If I do not provide or offer this care in MA then I am negligent. If I don't provide and offer care in either State you can sue me for not providing or offering an avenue to receive appropriate care. This can affect licensure, board cert status. The Handmaiden States may legislate to ban appropriate care but this does not change expected Standard of Care.

Further- even if someone is providing appropriate care anyone can make an accusation of doing something illegal. There is no way to protect from frivolous lawsuits. This means paying for lawyers/legal advice to deal with every accusation or the potential for one. (not to mention all the time wasted consulting, preparing for court, etc).

Hospitals are already consulting legal (non-medical) depts and requiring Docs to get clearance to provide care

Premiums are skyrocketing. We were always taught to carry our own insurance- this is no completely impossible. Insurers can decide to settle rather than go to court without any input/consulting the Provider being sued. The The Provider has no recourse. The client is not the Provider it is the hospital. They have no problem sacrificing the Provider.

You would have to be out of your fvcking mind to practice in these States which are already healthcare deserts between the lack of funding and the lack of appropriate resources for the Provider and family.
 
... as if hospitals aren't spending obscene amounts of money already on utterly non-value added functions, like claim management and appeals.


(I'll dig in and insist that the work I do on the IT/connectivity side is value added)

IT is a value-add if it's supporting critical business services (and in almost all hospitals today, it is).

Ironically, lean six sigma depts are some of the lowest value add to any org in history.

We don't use it at all. However I previously had to certify for green belt when it looked liked the company was going to incorporate it en masse so I'm familiar with much of the terminology.

LOL. I've been an IT Professional since 1996. It's not value add, it's not customer service driven. At best it's overhead like electricity. Nothing more, nothing less. Since 1996 IT has done more to destroy the planet, and workplace than it has done to improve it.

Well, to be fair- it is a self sustaining industry. It creates a disjointed, decentralized, convoluted work stream that reinvents itself continuously in ways that have nothing to do with functionality for the person using it. Add in all the glitches, errors, loss or change of functions with each new 'improvement' and the folks in IT have a guaranteed job. The worker bees get to have increased work load, redundancy, while listening to people tell them the system streamlines, simplifies and allows less errors :rolleyes:

*maybe not true for some industries but the medical side research showing increased work load, decreased productivity and no statistical improvement for outcomes. Now if you are data mining.....

I agree 100%. The fact that the two careers I have had in my life are both completely irrelevant to creating anything of substance in the World saddens me greatly. Too late to change again now. I just don't have the energy or the wherewithal to change again.

SAP consultants are the blurst. Almost every rollout goes like this

1. Hire consultants
2. Plan for 2 years
3. First roll out is a disaster
4. Push back dates a year, get informed you're 50% over budget
5. Second rollout is a disaster
6. Fire every fucking one of the consultants
7. Delay everything 2-3 more years, double or triple the budget.
8. Attempt to survive the next 5 years
9. Spend the next twenty years healing scars and PTSD from your employees who went through it and stayed with you
