IFPMA Millennium Development Goals
In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set out in motion a landmark political agenda from the highest levels of national governments to be achieved by 2015. Through eight overarching goals, governments and international organizations committed to improving the social and economic conditions especially in the world's poorest countries. A recent report from the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) looked at several of these goals, which strongly relate to life science companies. Specifically, the report looked at goals related to: Reducing child mortality Improvi...

With vaccines…Is there no middle ground, no room for questions?
“We should be as demanding of ourselves as we are of those who challenge us.” Dr. Jerome Groopman, writing in the New Rupublic Writing about the medical decision-making surrounding vaccines proved to be sketchy. Yesterday’s post brought stinging criticism from both sides of the debate. A pediatrician felt the structure of the post was patronizing. Just an hour later, a skeptic sent me the same message–patronizing. This was educational. Criticism is taken seriously here, especially when it comes from both sides of an argument. The reflex: Perhaps its useful to write more on the matter? (It’s f...

6 Ways To Become More Confident
If you haven’t read my previous post ‘How Can I Get More Confidence?’ you’re not really going to get the full benefit from reading this one. It’s a bit like watching ‘The Godfather 2′. It’s great on it’s own, but it moves from great to outstanding with the viewing of ‘The Godfather’ first. And no, I’m not comparing my writing to that of Mario Puzo, I’m just saying if you don’t really understand what confidence is (and most people don’t by the way) then it becomes more difficult to catch the slippery sucker and harness its full potential. For the sake of this post I am going...

The Situation of Secret Pleasures (more on Dan Wegner’s Work)
This excerpt, which highlights some of the remarkable work by the late Dan Wegner, comes from an article written by Eric Jaffe in a 2006 edition of the APS’s Observer: “Freud’s Fundamental Rule of Psychoanalysis was for patients to be completely open with a therapist no matter how silly or embarrassing the thought,” says Anita Kelly, a researcher at the University of Notre Dame who published one of the first books on the formal study of secrets, The Psychology of Secrets, in 2002. Only since the late 1980s and early 1990s have researchers like Daniel Wegner and James Pennebaker put Freud through the empirical r...

The Value of Your Child’s Life – According to Those Promoting Vaccines
Conclusion Who knows your child best? Who has to live with consequences resulting from decisions imposed on you by pediatricians or diverse authors, labeling parents as “paranoid,” should they express the ramifications of the child’s vaccine injury? Good decisions are made by taking all perspectives, arguments and scientific outcomes into consideration. Those advocating for all parents to inject their children with toxic substances via vaccines are also advising to silence voices of thinking otherwise. Their tools are means of “telling emotional stories full of tears, sobbing and unbearable grief and terror and not...

Healthcare IT From the Mouth of Babes
A little Fun Friday post to get you started for the weekend. This past week was Take Your Child to Work Day. This is always an interesting thing for me since I work from home. However, I usually try and head out to one of the local Las Vegas tech startup hangouts so my kids can see some other people I work with. This time I decided to put my son to work a little bit. I had him on the iPad following some people on Twitter. It was fun to see him working. As we started to work my son asked me, “What DO you do for work dad?” I knew that sooner or later this question would be coming since I mostly work from home. I ...

President’s 2014 Proposed Budget Calls For Increase to Overall Healthcare Spending and Major Changes to Medicare Part D
President Obama unveiled his fiscal year 2014 budget for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  The budget contained a number of notable figures and proposals, particularly given that many pieces of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) are set to go into effect in 2014.    The new budget would provide HHS a total of $967.3 billion in outlays and $80.1 billion in discretionary spending, and it includes initiatives that aim to save $361.1 billion over a decade.  MedPage Today reported that the FY 2014 budget “is larger than the $848.2 billion actually spent in FY 2012 and the $907....

The Favor
As a medical student in the GYN clinic in El Paso, one occasionally needed both language and female standby assistance, at the same time. Occasionally like 80% of the time*. I asked one of the clinic technicians to assist me with an exam; after we were done, trying to be med student charming I said “Thank you, senorita!” She said, laughing, with the clinic staff chuckling at my discomfort, “It’s Senora, it’s only senorita until someone does you The Favor”. Education takes many forms. Sometimes when you don’t expect it or even want it. (This is however a family point of amusement, w...

Headline writers: Please take a virology course
Yesterday Denise Grady wrote in the New York Times about the end of the moratorium on influenza H5N1 virus research. The story headline read: Research to resume on modified, deadlier bird flu The Minneapolis Star Tribune reprinted Ms. Grady’s story with the following headline: Studies will resume on deadly modified flu virus Where do these headlines come from, outer space? The H5N1 viruses produced by Kawaoka and Fouchier, which transmit by aerosol among ferrets, are far less virulent than the parental H5N1 virus! Furthermore, the moratorium applied to all research on H5N1 virus, not just that related to these ...

Flu prevention tips
Flu can kill—arm your immune system against it! I’m exposed to sick patients all day long. With this year’s flu epidemic, I’m exposed to even more sick patients than usual. Some of them ask me, “Doc, aren’t you sick yet?  Did you get flu this year?  Did you get vaccinated?” Yes, the flu season this year is bad. In Boston, at least 18 patients died recently and they declared a medical emergency. New York has also declared an emergency. But you don’t have to be one of the statistics. I’m living proof that flu can be prevented In my practice, one patient ended up in the hospital, and countless others are...

Healthcare Update — 01-07-2013
Colorado Medical Society files suit to prevent chiropractors from administering medications. The Chiropractic Board of Examiners created a rule permitting such actions after chiropractors complete 24 hours of study and a certification exam. I go against the grain on this one. Let chiropractors prescribe medications. After patients start experiencing bad outcomes because the 24 hour course chiropractors take doesn’t teach them about drug interactions or side effects, patients will learn to appreciate doctors a little more. Then throw a few chiropractors in jail for administering too much pain medication and see how many o...

Another Arrow for Your Headache Quiver: Cervical Injections
People don’t come to the emergency department for treatment of headaches unless their headache severity or duration is intolerable or the headache is frighteningly different. (Neurol Clin 1998 May;16[2]:285.) Usually, these headaches have failed to respond to their usual and standard therapies. In fact, those who market the migraine-specific triptan drugs recognize that headaches that have progressed to the state of central sensitization simply don’t respond well to their drugs. (Ann Neurol 2004;55[1]:27; Ann Neurol 2004;55[1]:19; Clin Ther 2000;22[9]:1035.) Central sensitization is an increased response to stimulation...

Difficult Airway
Last night I had this patient......He was a 45 yo male with no significant past medical history who presented to the ER in the early evening c/o "I think I have something in my throat." After further questioning his story goes like this:When I went to bed last night, I felt fine. No cold or flu-like symptoms, no trouble breathing...nothing. When I woke up this morning I felt as though there was something in my throat. Not all the time, but when I swallowed, I felt...like it was hard for the saliva to go down. I tried drinking cold water, then hot coffee, I ate a banana, but nothing seems to "push it down." I decided to com...
