To do otherwise is to risk conflating our interests with those of our patients when they might not actually coincide.https://twitter.com/drdanchoi/status/1170357507581251585 …

There's nothing wrong with fighting for our interests, but we must be careful not to conflate our personal interests with those of the patients we serve when they do not necessarily coincide on an issue, such as surprise billing.

I can’t remember who but someone said doctors in America want to be paid like businesspeople but treated like do-gooders.

I think it's a blind spot we have. We ARE do-gooders, the vast majority of us. That leads us to have too much faith in our own morality. Too many of us really believe our judgment is not affected by COIs.
