NJ-ACEP Board member Shelley Greenman, MD, delivered outstanding testimony before the inaugural hearing of the New Jersey Women’s Legislative Caucus. The Caucus’ focus for this first hearing was on Access to Women’s Health Care.

Dr. Greenman was the second speaker, and the legislators listened intently. She was asked numerous questions by the legislators, and Dr. Greenman responded appropriately. She submitted lengthy testimony, but condensed her remarks for the hearing. Approximately 15 legislators attended the meeting. She was interviewed by WHYY radio, and the TV cameras were rolling. You can listen to the entire hearing by going to: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/media/archive_audio.asp?SESSION=2010

And scroll all the way down to “Women’s Legislative Caucus.” Dr. Greenman is the second speaker.

Thanks to Dr. Greenman for spending the day in Trenton, representing NJ-ACEP so wonderfully and increasing the visibility of the profession and the College. She spent an enormous amount of time crafting her remarks and talking with her colleagues about the issue.

Bio of the Month
Scott Mankowitz, MD, FACEP, NJ-ACEP President 2010-2011
     

 

My name is Scott Mankowitz and I am an Emergency Physician.

It is such a simple statement, and yet it fills me with such pride. I think of myself as a member of an enormous team of incredibly skilled individuals who comprise the safety net for our great land. Every second of every day, our team stands ready to protect people from their environment, their diseases, even themselves. Our team is strong and wise and powerful. We are creative and resourceful. And most important, we are there when needed. When you're in trouble, you want one of us at the bedside.

And yet, we are a community besieged. The average Emergency Physician provides approximately $138,000 in unreimbursed care each year. At the same time, legislative and regulatory requirements threaten to constrain our practice. Insurers retrospectively challenge our judgment, while lawyers seek to poison the physician-patient relationship.

We can contain these hostile forces, but only because we work together as a team. NJACEP is about advocacy. It's about having a seat at the table. It's about making our collective voice heard. I invite all Emergency Physicians to get involved. All membership is invited to every meeting. A schedule can be found here. Together, we can define our practice environment. Together, we can make a difference.
