1st post on #bluesky. New Lown Institute report: Over 3 yrs. U.S. hospitals performed >200,000 unnecessary back surgeries on Medicare beneficiaries. At Dartmouth in '90s I produced a shared decision-making program to inform patients about tradeoffs among options. The picture may be even worse now. https://lownhospitalsindex.org/unnecessary-back-surgery/
