Rethinking Medication and Information Technology
Previous articles in this series looked at barriers to taking medication and possible solutions, including special conditions that produce challenges. This final article in the series turns the question on its head. Can patients get better without the medications?
Dr. Omar Manejwala, CMO of DarioHealth, goes so far as to use the terms “paternalistic” and “infantilizing” to label claims that people fail to take medication solely out of ignorance or forgetfulness. To all the other factors that hold people back from taking their meds, he adds social and religious factors, concerns about side effects an...

The true story of morphine milligram equivalents
They are the foundation of the CDC’s 2016 opioid guidelines, resulting in legislation limiting opioid prescribing in 36 states. Morphine milligram equivalents, or MMEs, are used to set arbitrary prescribing limits for opioids by physicians since many state legislators fail to understand — and translate into policy and law — the’16 guidelines. If weRead more …The true story of morphine milligram equivalents originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Seven Ways to Stoke Your Natural Optimism
Good news: neuroscientists tell us that humans are hard-wired for optimism. Makes sense when you think about it — our ancestors went hunting and gathering and sailing and sewing and so on because they expected something good.
Optimism itself is good — good for our health. According to a recent New York Times article, more and more long-term studies show that optimism fosters “exceptional” longevity and lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic ailments. Other studies have concluded optimists have better pain management, immune response and physical function. But with all that is going on...

101 Inspiring Leadership Quotes (2019 Update)
Today I’d like to share 101 of the most thought-provoking, encouraging and motivating leadership quotes from the past few thousands of years.
Because – to me – one of the most fascinating topics in life is the leaders that walked the world before us (and some who are still here) and how they shaped the world.
And what they can teach us about becoming better leaders ourselves at work, in school, in our own businesses and in our private lives.
I hope you’ll find something helpful and inspiring here.

Conference on Drug Pricing Inject New Statistics Into Debate, Few New Insights (Part 2 of 2)
The first part of this article described the upward pressures on costs and some of the philosophical debates over remedies. This section continues the discussion with several different angles on costs.
Universal access and innovation
It’s easy to call health care a human right. But consider an analogy: housing could also be considered a human right, yet no one has the right to a twenty-room mansion. Modern drug and genetic research are creating the equivalents of many twenty-room mansions, and taking up residence means the difference between life and death for someone, or perhaps between a long productive life and on...

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.

An open letter to Psychological Medicine, again!
In conclusion, noted Wilshire et al., “the claim that patients can recover as a result of CBT and GET is not justified by the data, and is highly misleading to clinicians and patients considering these treatments.”
In short, the PACE trial had null results for recovery, according to the protocol definition selected by the authors themselves. Besides the inflated recovery results reported in Psychological Medicine, the study suffered from a host of other problems, including the following:
*In a paradox, the revised recovery thresholds for physical function and fatigue–two of the four recovery measures–were so lax ...

Words are never enough – but does that stop us?
Pain may be said to follow pleasure as its shadow; but the misfortune is that in this particular case, the substance belongs to the shadow, the emptiness to its cause. CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning. HARUKI MURAKAMI, 1Q84
But pain … seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain? LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD, Barrayer
Language is not just words, but what those words symbolise. We use movements of lips, tongue and t...
