The 1000th Thread!
This is the 1000th presentation to my bioethics blog since starting on Google Blogspot.com in 2004.There has been many topics covered. Though comments by the visitors has always been encouraged and, since as a " discussion blog " , comments leading to discussions I have felt was the definitive function here. Virtually none of the thread topics have gone unread and most have had some commentary, some with mainly particularly strong and emphatic opinions http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2013/01/should-pathologists-be-physicians.html, some with extensive up to 12 years long continued discussion http://bioethicsdiscussi...

78 Inspiring Love Quotes
Today is Valentine’s Day. So I would like to share thoughts about love from the people who have walked this earth before us (and from a few who are still here). Timeless thoughts written down and spread throughout the decades, centuries and, yes, even millenniums. Thoughts not only about happy, romantic love but also the love between friends and family. And about the love that is often neglected or pushed to the side: the love you have for yourself. This is 78 of the most inspiring, touching, thought-provoking and helpful quotes on love. “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live...

Welcome to the DOG Patch: first in a series?
Lately my dander is up so often and so copiously, over what ' s happening in health care and the world at large, I ' m exhausted. Covered with nasty dander. Cowering under the sheets. Others seem to share this dysphoria. But I found if not a cure, at least a palliative. There ' s so much dander I can scrape it off with a great big shovel and toss as much as I can your way. Here ' s my first DanderOmnium Gatherum, or DOG, from the Cetona DOG Patch. Remember, these stories are all DOGs.Litmus Test for New HHS Secretary. The new sheriff at Health& Human Services, Alex Azar, has barely had a chance to wipe his feet in...

New Study from American Action Forum Adds to the Argument Against Present Supply-Side Opioid Policy
On April 11 the Washington Post cited a new study from the American Action Forum that reinforces arguments I have made here and here, that despite a dramatic reduction in the opioid prescription rate —a 41 percent reduction in high-dose opioid prescriptions since prescriptions peaked in 2010—the overdose rate continues to climb, as nonmedical users have simply migrated to more dangerous substitutes like fentanyl and heroin while the supply of diverted prescription opioids suitable for abuse continues to come down.I have a minor quibble with the study ’s finding that “the annual growth rate of prescription o...

Reducing Non-Beneficial Treatment at the End-of-Life Collaboration
Congratulations to my colleagues at QUT Australian Health Law Centre for this. Advances in medicine mean health care professionals can prolong life, yet some treatments have a low chance of providing tangible benefits to some patients, can result in a ‘bad death’ and represent a multi-million dollar cost to the public purse. The Australian-first Reducing Non-Beneficial Treatment at the End-of-Life collaboration between QUT health and law researchers has been awarded a $504,187.80 Partnership Grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council. Three hospital partners are investing...

For Lower Gas Prices, Scrap the Jones Act
Drawing attention to rising gas prices this week, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York)called for President Trump to ease pain at the pump by leveraging his relationships with key OPEC leaders as well as the presidential bully pulpit to exert pressure on oil companies. “These higher oil prices are translating directly to soaring gas prices, something we know disproportionately hurts middle- and lower-income people,” the senator added.While his apparent belief that gas prices are determined more by the whims of corporate leaders than market forces is severely misguided, Sen. Schumer ’s stated concern f...

I'm feeling reflective today. Maybe it's because this morning I had a moment of perfect happiness with Ben, watching his face uncrumple from sleep as he rubbed his eyes with his fists — such a thoroughly little-kid move that I haven't stopped smiling yet. Maybe it's because Charlie turns ten next week, his birthday coming hard on the heels of World Prematurity Day, when I spend the day thinking, I almost missed this. So many do. (No, I cannot explain this picture. Why are we not holding him?) Maybe it's because a friend pointed me to the latest papal finger-wagging about IVF, and I realized I just cou...

Civilian Casualties Continue to Mount in Governments ’ War on Opioids
I have written here and here about how patients have become the civilian casualties of the misguided policies addressing the opioid (now predominantly fentanyl and heroin) crisis. The policies have dramatically reduced opioid prescribing by health care practitioners and have pressured them into rapidly tapering or cutting off their chronic pain patients from the opioids that have allowed them to function. More and more reports appear in the pres s about patients becoming desperate because their doctors, often fearing they may lose their livelihoods if they are seen as “outliers” by surveillance agencies, under-t...

Beyond the invisible gorilla – inattention can also render us numb and anosmic (without smell)
This study investigated touch awareness when the brain was already focusing on a touch task. But there’s evidence from earlier work that, for inattentional effects to occur, the two stimuli do not have to involve the same senses, and the new paper in Psychological Science on inattentional anosmia also finds this. Charles Spence, head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford, and Sophie Forster at the University of Sussex, looked at the effects of performing a high vs. low attentional-load visual task on scent awareness. Across a series of experiments, groups of participants had to repeatedly ...
