From the advisory (verbatim): Studies on EHR: Neil Fleming and colleagues shed light on the financial and nonfinancial resources a small practice needs to implement an EHR system. Using data from  a physician network in north Texas, the authors estimate that the average cost to implement EHRs is $46,659 per physician. Use of EHRs will be accelerated because more than four in five office-based doctors are eligible for federal “meaningful use” incentives, says Brian Bruen of George Washington University and colleagues. Their analysis also highlights gaps in eligibility that must be addressed to further incre...

This time, George Fleming, a well-known plantiff’s attorney, is being sued by former clients who claim he improperly fed his piggy bank by charging his clients for echocardiograms that were given to thousands of other people who he ultimately did not represent. The tests were needed to determine whether an individual was harmed by the pills. In their lawsuit, which has gone to trial, 10 of Fleming’s former clients allege they learned after their 2006 settlement that about 8,100 claimants he represented were charged for echocardiograms that were given to 35,000 people who were rejected as clients, The Houston Chronicle reports. They were rejected becau...

He vaccinated a boy against smallpox by pricking his arms with pus taken from the sores of a milkmaid with cowpox, a closely related but milder disease. He based this audacious experiment on his astute observation that milkmaids, who had been exposed to cowpox, never contracted smallpox. Let’s not forget what smallpox meant in those days—it meant an almost 100% chance of death. Could anybody have guessed that this observation would become the first harbinger of the field of Immunology? It took over 200 years before another vaccine was created; in 1914 a vaccine against whooping cough was introduced. But t...
