Full marks for creativity, but… Mr. Everest allegedly provided an employee at the hospital with forged letters from a California hospital to show that the applicants had been accepted into a second-year program. And he gave her a check for $4,000, followed by another check for $2,000. She reported him to hospital officials, and later told him she knew the letters were forged. He then allegedly gave her $6,000 for time to get a letter from a different hospital—which was also forged—and gave her $3,000 more before he was arrested. Geez. - Via Hospital Bribe...

You must come to your own conclusions. I have no ties to any organization, pharmaceutical, or lobby group. As an practicing medical acupuncturist since 1982, I find western medicine and medical acupuncture are very complimentary.

If you abhor such articles (like 10 ways to de-clutter your bathroom), then keep on reading. I’m like you. Normal. 1. Bribe yourself. A so-called parenting expert that I read last week claimed that bribing your kid to get him to do something was an example of irresponsible and ineffective parenting. I suspect that the same man sits in his quiet and tidy little office cranking out advice like that while either his wife or nanny is home changing diapers and doling out time-outs. Let’s face it. Bribing is one of the most effective tools to get anyone–your kid, your stubborn mother, your golden retriever, or yourself–to do somethin...

One reason for this is that drug and device companies provide huge financial incentives to doctors to prescribe these expensive new drugs and devices.How big are those financial incentives? An article in today's Now the New York Times gives you a clue. The Times reporters sifted through mandatory reports from the very few states where Big Pharma is legally required to document their "marketing expenditures" to doctor. One of these states is Vermont, a state with a tiny population and few doctors or hospitals. There are only 11 endocrinologist listed in the yellowpages.com listing...
