One family ’s disastrous experience with a growth-driven long-term care company
by “E-PATIENT” DAVE DEBRONKART
Continuing THCB’s occasional series on actual experiences with the health care system. This is the first in a short series about a patient and family experience from one of America’s leading ePatients.
I’ve been blogging recently about what happens in American healthcare when predatory investor-driven companies start moving into care industries because the money’s good and enforcement is lax. The first two posts were about recent articles in The New Yorker on companies that are more interested in sales and growth than caring. I now have permission ...

A Change Of Heart: " For The Children "
Last night, I archived everything on the blog except " Why Pediatrics " . More and more, it ' s become a question rather than a statement of purpose. In the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic, where the entire US system shifted on its axis to shut down community Pediatrics services and " feed " children ' s hospitals (to free up resources for sick adults), the situation for those of us practicing inpatient Pediatrics (as " Pediatric Hospitalists " ) really went to hell. You could not find/beg a job in the community setting during the pandemic. Actually, jumping through the ABP ' s hoops to do a...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
The objective most consistent with recent operations is to conquer Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kherson, with a view to their eventual annexation and Russification. But not only are they some way from achieving that (w ith much of Donetsk still in Ukrainian hands and the Russia position in Kherson highly contested) it would also require an explicit Ukrainian surrender for it to serve as the basis for a declaration of victory. That will not be forthcoming.-----https://www.afr.com/world/europe/how-britain-giggled-its-way-into-crisis-20220710-p5b0giHow Britain giggled its way into crisisBoris Johnson has exposed the costs of Britain...

Our Canary in the Coal Mine: The Rapid Viral Testing Mini-Lab
Like a beggar telling other beggars where to find bread, I have to talk about our pediatric emergency department mini-lab for rapid viral testing and its undeniable positive impact on our practice during the pandemic. We had begun discussions with Abbott Laboratories months before the COVID-19 pandemic about setting up rapid testing for flu, RSV, and strep. Hospital administration approved moving forward with the concept, but like most big endeavors, administrative delays and other distractions resulted in many months passing without much apparent movement on the contract. And then it happened: The COVID-19 pandemic...

Here Come the Workplace Vaccine Religious Exemption Battles
Walter OlsonCompanies like Wal ‐Mart, United Air Lines, and Tyson Foods have announced plans to require part or all of their workforce to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Many employee claims for religious exemptions are likely to follow. How are they likely to fare as a legal matter?InApril I wrote:Title VII, the federal employment discrimination law, forces an employer to accommodate employees ’ religious beliefs when it can do so without cost. For that reason, employees with religious objections to vaccination can ask employers to exempt them, and employers must at least consider the request. “Consider...

U.S. Science Embrace of Wuhan “Gain-Of-Function” Viral Research Proved A Slippery Slope
By MIKE MAGEE
The truth hurts.
Eighteen months into a disaster that has claimed 3.5 million lives around the globe, the truth is seeping out. Human error likely caused the Covid pandemic, and America’s Medical-Industrial Complex was right in the middle of it.
Signs of a “great awakening” have emerged from various corners in the month of May.
On May 14, UNC’s top virologist, Ralph Baric, who worked closely with Wuhan chief virologist and batwoman extraordinare, Shi Zhengli, signed on with 17 other scientists to a Science editorial that demanded a reexamination of Covid’s causality writing “theorie...

American Industrial Policy in Action
Scott LincicomeIn case you haven't noticed, U.S. industrial policy is having (yet another) moment. Armed with the latest data and cross-country comparisons, a large and bipartisan cadre of industrial policy advocates in Washington are eager to shovel billions of taxpayer dollars into the open arms of American manufacturers of "essential goods" and "critical technologies." The risks (China, pandemics, whatever), so the theory goes, greatly outweigh any harms that a few, scattered industrial policy failures might cause along the way, so whynot just throw money at the (perceived) problems? These advocates, however, rarely ack...
