I stared blankly at the screen in disbelief for a few moments wondering whether it was a joke. When I realized it wasn’t I started to Continue reading...

As we move into our new era of health care delivery with millions more needing physician time (and other health care provider’s time, for that matter) –- we’re seeing a powerful force emerge –- a subtle marketing of limitless physician availability facilitated by the advance of the electronic medical record, social media, and smartphones. Doctors, you see, must be always present, always available, always giving. These sound like dire words, but the degree to which it has resonated around the Web among doctors is telling.

Embrace it. Love it. Live it. In fact, greed may be the one thing that can save us. Don’t believe me? Greed was the foundation for this country. The brave souls who risked their life to settle in a new country did so out of self interest. Our forefathers recognized the importance of self-interest in the Declaration of Independence where they emphasized our unalienable right to pursue happiness. Greed is good not just for your own life but for others as well. By elevating your life, you can radically elevate your family’s life, your community, and yes, even the world. Mother Teresa was greedy — she had an unquenchable thirst for serving the poorest of the poor. Missionaries are greedy in their quest to spread their religious beliefs. You just need to get gre...

I was discussing the care of patients with dementia, but the comments have largely centred on what motivates medical students in their choice of speciality. Can it really be money? When I was at medical school, albeit in the time of Galen, there was no talk of money. There was, I suppose, an unspoken assumption that as a doctor one would never starve but that was about it. Guy's Hospital Medical School is just a few hundred yards from the City, the Mammon worshippers and their bonuses. But no one cast a jealous eye over London Bridge. On the other hand, I do not remember a single student who wanted to do geriatrics. Geriatrics was seen as a home for failed phys...

Excuses. I’m so sick of hearing excuses from people, rather than results. All the time you spend explaining why you didn’t do such and such or couldn’t find XYZ could’ve been spent actually doing such and such or finding XYZ. I think sometimes we all have had our share of hearing enough excuses from others. 9. Endless war and death. Apparently some of our most recent presidents here in the U.S. haven’t been very avid historians. I think it should be requirement of a politician for higher office that they must pass a minimum set of world hi...

The summary of the recommendations are: 1. Drug companies must disclose any payments they make to doctors, hospitals, and many other institutions. [...] 2. Doctors should no longer accept any free meals, gifts or other items from companies. [...] 3. Doctors must not participate in speakers bureaus for drug companies. 4. Doctors must not do clinical research if they have a financial interest in the outcome of the research. [...] 5. Revamp the system of continuing medical education (CME) so that there is no more industry influence in the content. Dr. Carlat ends with the conclusion, &#8220...

My friend and highly respected leader, Jim Walton asked a great question that should get a straightforward yes response. Right? After all, we’d all agree that Wall Street lacks diverse leaders. Most would agree that financial market controls come from one pool of people that keep many others poor. Few would disagree that we have needed diversity at top financial tables. Concerns are fairly unanimous that a few top CEOs grab or control most profits unfairly. The list goes on and most agree to toxic financial flaws we’ve allowed to mushroom and corrupt Wall Street. To Jim’s question about diversity's ability to reduce greed on wall Street, I’d answer no, howeve...
