Innovating towards Impact 🌐 Medical Doctor ⚕️ Entrepreneur 💡 Mail and Guardian 200 Young South Africans
Dear friends and colleagues, Medical Day Zero is looming! Which is why I am doing market research for a new NPC I believe can help alleviate the critical staff shortage in South Africa's government hospitals and I need your help! Before this article was published in Daily Maverick this week, I had already partnered with 2 other directors to begin a first-of-its-kind, non-profit locum agency. The agency will manage a network of locum doctors who will work in critically short-staffed government facilities that otherwise would not have been able to afford to hire staff due to the massive budget cuts. We aim to pay our locum doctors standard market-related locum salaries which we will pay for out of the donated funds, meaning we do not charge government clinics for the service of the locum! The donations pay for the doctor's service to the patients. This is a completely new way of bridging the gap between corporate and private wealth in SA and the ailing government health services, through an external, accountable and trustworthy NPC that is also run by South African doctors who have worked in government facilities and understand the system and its needs. Unfortunately our attorneys have alerted us that we will only be able to issue 18A tax receipts to corporations by mid 2024 due to SARS backlogs. This means for us to become operational by January 2024 and start helping patients we will be requiring additional donations that will unfortunately not be eligible for tax deduction. My partners and I will be investing a large portion of our own money and time into this venture to make it see the light of day (the legal costs alone are massive), but the operational costs required to sustain the company far exceeds our personal funds. Therefor, before we continue to invest large sums of our money, we want to be sure that the non profit will be viable. The question I want to ask you is this: Do you think companies or individuals will be willing to donate to us, even before we are able to issue tax receipts? Please comment, repost, like or message me with your answer and spread the word: we are not ready to give up in the face of this challenge where lives are at stake. [Ps. We crunched the numbers and we estimate that every R200 donated will be able to sponsor a medical consultation (including salary and operational costs). That means a donation of R200 can offer someone who is ill (or have a sick child) access to see a doctor and it still costs less than Spur's famous 600g Spare Ribs (R249,90)! 😄]

Kids can burnout, too. Want a simple way to cut your pediatric patients' risk of sports-related lower-body injury in half? Push back against the new trend of early specialization in sports that is leading to overuse injury and burnout. "According to a study by the University of Wisconsin, 46% of growing athletes who specialized in a single sport suffered a lower-body injury, nearly twice the 24% rate for kids who played multiple sports while they were still growing. Experts want those of us on the frontline of caring for children to know that "specialization in a single sport at a young age can lead to lasting negative health outcomes for children, including injury and burnout. Research shows that waiting to specialize and playing multiple sports during childhood is linked to higher achievement and lower injury risk across most sports." The solution. Encourage parents to help their children build a foundation of general athleticism. Counsel parents that overuse injury, and damage to a bone, muscle, ligament, or tendon that occurs over time when a child performs repetitive motions is preventable. Studies show that if you talk openly with kids, they quietly feel under too much pressure. Sport medicine investigators showed that athletes aged 13 to 18 who spent more hours per week in sports than the number of their age reported that their participation felt excessive. Let's save our kids' knees, ankles, and shoulders. Here are specific best practice guidelines to share with families and a few other resources on the topic. https://lnkd.in/gJfaea6n https://lnkd.in/gbSswKBb. https://lnkd.in/gfquUPus #athlete #athletedevelopment #youthsports #pediatrician #pediatrics #familymedicine #pediatricnurse #nursepractitioner #nursepractitioners #coaches #trainer #coach #coaching #teachers #teacher #principal #sportsmedicine #sportsinjury #sportsinjuries #parent #mentalhealth #healthadvocate #healthadvice #healthandwellness #injuryprevention

This insightful piece highlights the critical aspects of policy implementation. ECE has suffered from chronic underfunding, resulting in a fragmented "system" that often lacks essential data and diverse perspectives. It's imperative to allocate attention and resources towards understanding the comprehensive landscape of successful practices, barriers, and gaps in order to effectively shape the future of ECE infrastructure.

Medical Associations throughout the country, 33 states, and DC have filed suits against companies like TeamHealth and Envision Healthcare Corporation, for violating state laws that prohibit non-physicians from owning controlling interests in medical practices. Curious. Who are TeamHealth and Envision Healthcare Corporation, anyway? Essentially, they are medical outsourcing companies focusing on mid-level providers (Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners) and medical doctors. TeamHealth, in particular, started with Emergency Medicine providers but quickly expanded to hospitalist medicine, anesthesiology, critical care, obstetrics, orthopedic surgery, and more. It is officially speculated that they own over 25% of the national emergency room contracts in the country. Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, private equity has bought up more than 50% of specialist practices in some parts of the country. Funny enough when they own more than 30% of the market, costs go up ‘sharply’. Fascinating. I wonder why. Envision Healthcare has recently filed for bankruptcy and is under investigation for fraudulent billing practices. Then there are the lawsuits mentioned above, so they have been having a good time all-around. The hospital I visited in California for my hip uses an agency like TeamHealth for emergency medical services. How could private equity buying up controlling interests in provider practices and staffing agencies possibly change the way doctors practice medicine, though? How could that make my emergency room visit suck? Continue reading on SubStack
