"So let me get this right, 98% of the time I will be right doing NOTHING at all? I can live with those odds!"

What is the appropriate response?

Maybe this:

"But doctor, for those 98% they can wear the LifeVest, pay ~$1000 (or more) copay per month, and never have a treatment."

Or a "interest generating opening", a "question to engender thinking", a "case study" (as there is no RCT's), or our "IC/HF POA".

No wait, I should "trick" NP/PA's into writing it. Or maybe ask a case manager.

This f-ing place...

Bingo! We have a winner!
 












Best moment from the NSM; when someone asked BK to clarify the study data quoted in the HF POA guide.

"Uh, I don't have it in front of me. You'll have to give me a second to pull it out....

scrambling to find the studies to "lean" on and formulate a thought because someone has called him out...

"I'm not going to waste everyone's time...the bottom line is the risk exists in newly diagnosed HF patients."

So to summarize - please don't think independently/logically, go out and regurgitate what we've told you, and sell on smoke and mirrors!!!
 






Don't forget save reports! Not worth the paper they're printed on!

The most entertaining thing in my short tenure here was when they "announced" that the numbers were getting too big and sending save reports out was too labor intensive, so they were going to stop.

Magically, right after that we went from saving a life per day to saving 2 lives per day. MAGIC!
 






The most depressing moment from the NSM was when JP said he glanced at the "save ticker" at the home office before he got on the plane and we had save an AMAZING 1900 lives.

ARE. YOU. F-ING. KIDDING. ME.

Approved for use in 2001 and ONLY 1900 lives saved!?!?
