Can the cardiac risk of red meat be measured? And is it useful?
Prevention of heart disease has centered on smoking cessation, controlling blood pressure, achieving an appropriate weight, regular exercise, control of blood sugar, and control of your cholesterol.

What are patients ’ responsibilities for their health?
I expect my patients to develop or sense responsibility in connection to their health because I believe personal responsibility creates the basis for a constructive, therapeutic relationship and healing process. My experiences as a patient have made me understand how difficult it can be to maintain a sense of responsibility. I often yearn for clarity […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The importance of patient education before surgery
A guest column by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, exclusive to KevinMD.com. For years, research and common belief have supported the concept that patient education alters patient behavior and improves patient outcomes. For instance, lifestyle changes, implemented after improved physician-patient engagement and education, have demonstrated clinical benefits in a wide range of chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

UpToDate? Information my cardiologists didn ’t have.
I’ve always felt lucky and relieved when a cardiologist told me I seemed to be fine despite my heart condition. My condition, referred to as congenital, complete AV block, is estimated to affect between 1 in 15,000 to 22,000 live-born infants. The electrical block is more commonly seen among older, adult patients where it presents […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now. Learn more.

When should physicians read the House of God?
Many consider the novel the House of God, written by Samuel Shem (pen name for Stephen Bergman), to be a must-read for any physician or soon-to-be physician. A fictionalized account of his internship year, the book details how the accumulated stress, fatigue, and powerlessness of being a first-year doctor inexorably accumula tes during that year — with […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The tension between guidelines and individualized treatment
I recently read an article in a peer-reviewed journal citing the benefits of a few eggs per week as part of a low carbohydrate dietary intervention for Type 2 diabetes.

Don ’t ask caregivers to be data entry clerks for the Joint Commission
I received an email from our hospital accreditation coordinator/quality coordinator in a manner that wasn ’t clear if it was directed to me personally or if it was sent to the entire medical staff.

A lack of understanding for what physicians really do
I recently had the pleasure of participating in an administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing. Novitas, the Medicare administrative contractor had denied the E/M code 99291, critical care. The case was appealed to the qualified independent contractor, who also believed that the care, in this case, did not meet the CMS and CPT definitions of critical […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Remembering a physician, suddenly taken away
Our 20-bed ICU finally captured 10 intensivists — all board-certified in critical care medicine. We were fortunate enough to have one of these doctors in our ICU 24-7. Of course, they all practiced professionally with expertise. But I remembered this one the most: Dr. Jason McKenzie (name changed for privacy).

When medical science becomes fake news
Every week there is another health pronouncement saying what is now good for you and what is going to kill you. Unfortunately, the “what” is often interchangeable— what was supposed to kill you last week is now suddenly good for you or vice versa.

Physicians-in-training learn to cook for improved health outcomes
If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, how much more can a delicious burrito bowl with citrus lime vinaigrette do?

Physician patients shouldn ’t be special
Physicians often, by virtue of their degree, have easier access to medical care. Yet the care they actually receive may be substandard. Here’s why. Years ago, I broke my wrist.
