Enjoy the recovery time, or make-up anything you missed from last week.

Ingredients:

6 oz salmon fillet
½ Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ tsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp heavy cream
½ Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
½ clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Preparation:

Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillet (6 oz) dry and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the salmon: Heat butter (1Tbsp) in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, place the salmon filet skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the fillet carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired level of doneness.  Remove the salmon fillet from the skillet and set aside.

Make the lemon-dill sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add minced garlic (½ clove). Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice (1 Tbsp), lemon zest (½ tsp), and heavy cream (2 Tbsp). Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow sauce to thicken slightly.

Finish the sauce: Stir in fresh dill (½ Tbsp), mixing well. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. 

Serve: Place the salmon fillet on a plate and drizzle the lemon-dill sauce over the fillet and garnish with lemon slice if desired. Enjoy.

Hailed as a savior upon his arrival in Helena, Dr. Thomas C. Weiner became a favorite of patients and his hospital’s highest earner. As the myth surrounding the high-profile oncologist grew, so did the trail of patient harm and suspicious deaths.

The RVU productivity compensation model incentivizes doctors to treat a larger volume of more complex patients. In surgery, the more complex cases we perform, the more we are paid and the more money the health care system collects. New this year, my health system is putting up an RVU ranking of each surgeon against our peers as a PowerPoint slide in our monthly meetings. I finished last in terms of RVU production in 2024 but interestingly had the highest number of patient encounters meaning I saw the most patients. Why? The answer is because I view surgery as a last resort and try to find other ways to help these patients. I only recommend surgery when there are no other options! There’s no incentive for that type of care!

Thanks for posting this eye opening article about flagrant abuses of ‘eat what you kill’ system. Major reforms are needed or there will be more tragic cases like the several described in the article. The best medical advice I ever got many years ago was ALWAYS get a second opinion.
