This book, Doctor Confidential: Secrets Behind the Veil by Dr. Richard Sheff, was released this past Sunday (May 1). Dr. Sheff is a family physician with over 30 years of experience in practice. In this book, Sheff eloquently and openly shares stories that have stayed with him through the his time as a student, then as an intern, then a junior resident, and finally as a senior resident. Readers who are unfamiliar with the world of medicine will be happy to know that this book should be understood by the lay person. When the story being recounted requires the use of medical jargon, footnotes offer a clear explanation. As a medical student, I couldn’t help but smile when reading through portions of the book recounting Sheff’s m...

This book, Doctor Confidential: Secrets Behind the Veil by Dr. Richard Sheff, is scheduled to be released on May 1. I am hoping to be able to get a review of it out by that time. It looks like it should be a pretty interesting read. I’ll keep you posted.

Who owns Healthy Place.com? Are they one and the same? These are interesting questions to ask, because you can’t find such information on their websites. What makes it even more interesting is what recently happened to the Real Mental Health website that demonstrates a behind-the-scenes connection between these two sites — a connection not acknowledged anywhere on either site. Real Mental Health is a small mental health community built upon a third-party social networking suite of tools. The website used to reside at realmentalhealth.com. But at the end of May, the site suddenly went away without notice to its members. That’s when the intrigue began. It came back a week later at a different URL (realmentalhealthsite.com), with little explana...

There’s nothing like a curious development to spark such probes - one day after the meeting, the paper notes, Mylan shares rose 7 percent on three times the average daily volume during the previous month. Such meetings are kosher, but companies must report disclosure of non-public info promptly. Mylan never filed anything with the SEC about the meeting (check the SEC site). Mylan tells the paper it’s “confident” the info conveyed was appropriate, but you have to love the coincidences. On Sept. 10, th...

Shalin Jhaveri, 29, worked as a technical operations associated since November 2007, but was fired the Bristol-Myers’ Syracuse, NY, facility this week, Reuters reports. “Jhaveri stole numerous trade secrets as part of a plan to establish a pharmaceutical firm in his native India which would compete with Bristol-Myers Squibb in various markets around the world,” the Justice Department said in a statement, according to Reuters. He was arrested and ordered held without bail ahead of a detention hearing on Monday. He could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He was accused of taking more than 1,300 documents from the company that he spent hours over the course of several days downloading...

DeAngelis and Phil B. Fontanarosa — editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) — published an editorial defending their handling of a conflict of interest and blasting the professor who brought it to their attention. In a classic example of shooting the messenger, it’s my opinion that DeAngelis and Fontanarosa absolve themselves of all blame, and suggest that any reports where they called Lincoln Memorial University Assistant Dean of Students and Professor Jonathan Leo Ph.D., a “a nothing and a nobody” were “erroneous.” (In other words, the editors of JAMA are apparently suggesting that the Wall...

The only ones I watch are The Amazing Race and The Apprentice. The Amazing Race because, well, it’s all about travel and relationships. And The Apprentice, because, well, because whatever else you think about ‘the Donald’, he does have some business savvy. On the other hand, he also has ‘the hair’… so I wonder what he’d make of this newest Reality TV show - Hair Loss Confidential. Who knows, he might even be the ‘man behind the show.’ So what is Hair Loss Confidential ? Well, the tagline reads ‘transforming America one hair at a time’, so that might give you a clue. According to the Press Release… Hair Loss Confidential will catch people facing hair loss unaware ...
