The last serious HIET we did resulted in us not only using all the insulin in the hospital, but also all the insulin at our drug wholesaler's nearest warehouse.

Insurers Continue to Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, judges found that some doctors working for these companies engaged in β€œselective readings” of medical evidence and β€œshut their eyes” to medical opinions opposin...

A damning account of how insurers, like United, rely on the same doctors to deny mental health care, even as judges repeatedly question their calls: β€œpuzzling,” β€œdisingenuous”, β€œdishonest, β€œbaseless”

Can't wait for all the emails from the MSLs eager to discuss this exciting new input from the FDA!!

Looking for golidlocks patients though - >50% exclusion for other antibiotics or IHCA? Consistent with the PROPHY-VAP findings though, looking forward to the full paper
