This is huge news!! I really hope to see some reform. This is a voluntary change through pressure from RFK and HHS. The major insurance carriers will make getting treatments like medicine and surgery simpler and more streamlined. This is a real problem that my patients and I deal with on a daily basis. Insurance carriers routinely put up arbitrary roadblocks requiring patients and/or providers to jump through hoops in order to approve acre. These roadblocks are then dealt with through an appeal process that further slows things down. I have to wait and get on the phone with a nurse or non-urologist to explain why care is indicated (imagine having your healthcare decisions coming down from someone who doesn't even practice in the field). Oftentimes, they just didn't even read my notes that include all the information they required. Afterwards, no apology for wasting everyone's time, just a "here is your authorization number, goodbye." They do this intentionally in the hope that someone doesn't pursue the claim appeal process and they get out of paying for services. Horrible!! All of the major carriers seem to be onboard with implementing this change except for one glaring absence.... . They are the most notorious for pulling this s**t. They go as far as to tell us that no Prior Authorization is required for surgery, then after the surgery send the patient a bill saying that the "pre- authorization process is not a grantee of payment"! Well how are patients supposed to know if their surgery is covered or not? This type of corrupt insurance behavior is exactly what is wrong with private healthcare and needs to stop immediately! I'm looking forward to see how these changes are implemented and their effect. This is definitely a step in the right direction and much overdue.

OMG! Is that real? No, those are hydrogel models. The first time I operated on a hydrogel model many years ago I was not impressed. But, these are different. Through continual research, technology and feedback from surgeons, the folks at Johns Hopkins Urology department have significantly improved these hydrogel models to the point where they can truly be used to train the next generation of prosthetic surgeons. I actually read an article on the plane ride over that medical schools are moving away from real cadaver models to train physicians to 3D animations and hydrogel models. We will see how that works. The remaining pictures are of the lectures, co-faculty, attendees, the iconic buildings of the hospital campus and, of course,......... the Nutting Gallery. I'm not making that up.

Men's Health has been growing in the last decade. The advances in treatment for conditions like erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, pe**le augmentation and other sexual issues has been advanced by specialized and fellowship trained urologists. These great advances in our understanding and techniques has given confidence to UNQUALIFIED medical providers to advertise and offer similar services in these "overnight men's health clinics". As a board certified and fellowship trained sexual medicine expert, I see the complications and the scams of these types of practices and physicians on a daily basis. I am not a fan of litigation, but in this case, I think the good outweighs the bad. These "pop-up" sexual health clinics need to be held accountable for their practices.

One of the hardest procedures in pe**le implant surgery is to replace an implant after an erosion and infection. The corpora are scarred and all of the anatomic landmarks are different. Risks are high for these re-operations. But, this is what we do. Patients come from all over to get "fixed". Always happy to share the experience of another happy patient we helped after his original surgery elsewhere went wrong. **leimplant **leprosthesis
