Shadowfax on the KevinMD Live Q&A: Tuesday, July 14th at 10:30pm Eastern

July 12, 2009

Emergency physician Shadowfax will be my next guest on the Live Q&A.

Blogging over at Movin’ Meat, Shadowfax is the pseudonym of an emergency physician in the Pacific Northwest. His blog posts are a combination of cogent health care reform analysis and opinion, commentary from the administrative side of medicine, and fascinating ER cases.

He recently had a piece on health care reform published in The New York Times’ Room for Debate blog, entitled, Shift Pay Away From Specialists.

Here’s your chance to ask him questions about life and practice in an American emergency room.

See you on Tuesday, July 14th at 10:30pm Eastern.

Update 7/14, 5pm Eastern:

I’m opening up the Q&A window now, so you can start posting your questions.  Just click the window below, and write in your question for consideration.    The chat will start at 10:30pm Eastern.

My question: How much defensive medicine is being practiced in the ER?

“My question: How much defensive medicine is being practiced in the ER?”

My estimate:

defensive medicine 40%
futile medicine 20%
non urgent/stupid/failed lifestyle medicine 30%
emergency medicine 10%
