A Patient Cured Is A Customer Lost. ER Doctor Threatened With Termination For Prescribing Medicine Insurance Company Disagreed With
Read that again. A big insurance company deciding medication, NOT DOCTORS and won’t let a hospital prescribe certain medication or they’ll be terminated
“The reason I'm sitting here before you today is because there was a patient who had early SARS 2 and she was well enough to go home, which meant I, as the ER doctor, could prescribe something for her. She wasn't gonna go upstairs. I prescribed hydroxychloroquine and zinc and I think I gave her Zithromax as well and I didn't think anything of it. I happened to call her 2 days later, she was doing great. It was my first one.
I got a phone call that I was going to be fired if I ever did that again And I was stunned. Who is the call from? The call is from the it came from the CEO of the hospital, who told my medical director to call me and I said, what's driving this? And he said, I don't think it works. I said, no problem.
Don't prescribe it then. You practice as an individual, as do I. But why do you care what I'm practicing? I'm prescribing my patient. He said, well, you know, there's a big insurance company.
It was Kaiser at this hospital and Kaiser put their foot down and told the hospital not to prescribe hydroxychloroquine.”
