Splitting hairs with hypertension
By SAURABH JHA, MD
Intrigued by many things in my first few days in the U.S., what perplexed me the most was that there seemed to be a DaVita Dialysis wherever I went; in malls, in the mainstreet of West Philadelphia, near high rises and near lower rises. I felt that I was being ominously followed by nephrologists. How on earth could providers of renal replacement therapy have a similar spatial distribution as McDonalds?
After reading Friedrich Hayek’s essay, Use of Knowledge in Society, I realized why. In stead of building a multiplex for dialysis, which has shops selling pulmonary edema-inducing fried chicken, D...

Does Donald Trump Have Heart Disease?
By SAURABH JHA
According to the WHO definition of health, which is “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity,” several million Americans became unhealthy on Tuesday November 8th, 2016 as Florida folded to Trump. As Hillary’s prospects became bleaker many more millions, particularly those on Twitter, lost their health. The WHO sets a high bar for health. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a person on social media to be in “complete mental and social well-being.”
Whilst WHO has set a high bar for health, moder...

At a Radiology Business Management Association ’s annual meeting, Pam Kassing, MPA, the senior economic advisor at the American College of Radiology, untangled the reasoning behind these new policy strategies. She explained that the incorporation of the “site neutral” policy in Medicare’s Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) will be used “to c reate a PFS-like payment system fo...

An Ode to Evidence-Based Health Policy
By ANISH KOKA, MD
A recent kerfuffle ensued when a CDC analyst leaked details of a meeting that noted a list of banned words and phrases that included ‘evidence-based’ and ‘science-based’. This most recent assault on reason from the Trump administration was lapped up by partisans as yet another example of the dangers of having reality stars occupy the White House.
Unfortunately no one apparently told the director of the CDC, who took to twitter to respond:
I want to assure you there are no banned words at CDC. We will continue to talk about all our important public health programs.
