Internists earned $205,379 in median compensation in 2010, an increase of 4.21% over the previous year, reported the Medical Group Management Association’s (MGMA’s) Physician Compensation and Production Survey: 2011 Report Based on 2010 Data. Family practitioners (without obstetrics) reported median compensation of $189,402. Pediatric/adolescent medicine physicians earned $192,148 in median compensation, an increase of 0.39% since 2009. Among specialists, anesthesiologists reported decreased compensation, as did gastroenterologists and radiologists. Psychiatrists, dermatologists, neurologists and general surgeons reported an increase in median compensation since 2009. Regional...

The backdrop is an inquiry begun late last month, when Grassley - the ranking Republican the Senate Finance Committee who has undertaken numerous conflict-of-interest probes into drug and device makers - noted that Ondra was paid about $4 million in royalties by Medtronic in the two years before joining the VA in 2009. And the senator cited emails in which Medtronic officials are attempting to secure a position for Ondra...

Early last year, Stephen Ondra headed spine surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and was successfully touted by Medtronic for a position in the Obama administration. Among his attributes: consulting for the device maker, previous efforts on behalf of the Obama team and his work on physician-industry relationships and transparency, according to various emails between Medtronic execs (look here). Within a few days, however, Ondra objected to the proposed nomination of another spine surgeon, Charles Rosen, as US Surgeon General. Why? As founder of the Association of Medical Ethics, Rosen publicly questioned consulting ties between doctors and device makers and, for his trouble, allegedly suffered retaliation by members of the American Academy...

I don’t dance either (there is a limit to self-deprecation). But Tim Hawkins does sing and dance, and he uses those skills to great effect in this video. Enjoy.

If you would like to read an article that comes at the subject from the opposite direction (computers are not brains) read this summary of a recent talk given by Jeff Hawkins about “why computers can’t be more like a brain on Dean Takahashi’s Tech Talk Blog. Jeff Hawkins was the co-founder of Palm, Inc. and he is author of On Intelligence, which was discussed in the Brain Science Podcast Episode 2.

He’s the founder of Palm, Handspring and invented the first really successful PDA, the Palm Pilot. Jeff also has a major interest in Brain Science and has formed a new company Numenta, to develop artificial intelligence technology.

Eight innocents were killed by a lone 19 year old gunman people have called "quiet and polite". Clearly there is much more to this story. But here is what there is so far. Robert Hawkins was deeply into drugs, at least marijuana, and alcohol. Although he had one felony for drug possession, his other criminal behavior was limited to misdemeanors. Quiet and polite behavior can hide incredible violent anger. Many of the imfamous postal workers that shot up their work place also were described as quiet and polite. Children who are abused are often unusually quiet and polite. Hawkins had been a ward of the state of Nebraska from 2002 to 2006 but had not been associated with violence. The state provided Mr. Hawkins with stays at residential centers and in-patient ...

Speculation is rife on what this might be. I suspect that if it is a mini-tablet device with versatile connectivity, it might be a dream device for doctors. Tablet PCs never really took off (at least in my part of the world) as they were too wieldy to carry around and had pathetic battery life. Now if the device were to be smaller, had better battery life and could connect via all wireless protocols available then it could be just the thing doctors would like to take with them on their rounds. There’s also much speculation that the device will run on Palm’s new Linux based OS and yet retain Garnet compati...
