Changes in How ADHD Meds are Prescribed at University & College
If you were hoping to get some medications prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) while in college or at university, you might be in for a rude surprise. Colleges and university are cutting back on their involvement with ADHD, primarily due to abuse of the psychiatric medications — stimulants like Ritalin — prescribed to treat the disorder. Students — whether they are malingering the symptoms or actually have it — are prescribed a drug to treat ADHD (sometimes from different providers in different states), then sell a few (or all the) pills on the side. Profit! Now universit...

Why Businesses Migrate from Greece to Bulgaria: Smaller Government Is Cheaper
Alan Reynolds What “prompted many Greek manufacturers to relocate to neighboring Bulgaria” is not just less-capricious regulation, as The Wall Street Journal suggests, but also the much lower cost of government. Bulgaria has a 10% flat tax on corporate and personal income and a 20% VAT. Greece has a 49% personal income tax, 26% corporate tax, 45% payroll tax and 23% VAT.  Unbearable tax rates drive a fourth of the Greek economy underground while businesses in the formal economy migrate or shut down. What about government spending (which Keynesian economists call “fiscal stimulus”)?  Government spending i...

Warning about Ketamine in the American Journal of Psychiatry
The dissociative anesthetic and ravey club drug ketamine has been hailed as a possible “miracle” cure for depression. In contrast to the delayed action of standard antidepressants such as SSRIs, the uplifting effects of Special K are noticeable within an hour. “Experimental Medication Kicks Depression in Hours Instead of Weeks,” says the National Institute of Mental Health. NIMH has been bullish on ketamine for years now. Prominent researchers Duman and Aghajanian called it the “the most important discovery in half a century” in a recent Science review.But in 2010, I pondered whether this use of ketamine...

Part I: THE IMITATION GAME meets HOW I CAME TO HATE MATH/Comment j’ai détesté les Maths, Moral Relativism vs Beneficence and Justice: Moral Injury, War and Computer Science
THE IMITATION GAME Alan Turing was a Cambridge trained mathematician, wonderfully portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) in the WWII bio-historical thriller, THE IMITATION GAME. The film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Graham Moore was screened at the 36th annual Mill Valley Film Festival 2014. It is an adaptation of a book by Andrew Hodges, Alan Turing: The Enigma While a fellow at the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics in 1990, it was this writer's profound good luck to meet and spend time with the late Dr. Stephen Toulman, a British born physicist, mathematician, philosopher and communic...

Some experiences of life at Imperial College London. An external inquiry is needed after the death of Stefan Grimm
Conclusions The policies adopted by Imperial College have harmed Imperial’s reputation throughout the world. Worse still, they have tainted the reputation of all UK universities. They have contributed to the corruption of science. and they have, in all probability, killed a successful man, I hope that Alice Gast (president), James Stirling (provost). Dermot Kelleher (Dean, now vice president), and Martin Wilkins (who was left to weild the knife) have a good Christmas. If I were in their shoes, I’d feel so guilty that I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. They should spend Christmas reading Peter Lawrence&...

Eppie
I ' ve considered writing about Jeffrey Epstein for a long time, but I kept expecting more information about the sordid case to be forthcoming from the Southern District of New York. So far however we have seen no additional indictments or any investigative report. This surprises many people because there are strong indications that there is ample basis for additional indictments, despite Epstein ' s death. I ' ll get to that.I don ' t have any information to add to what is publicly known, obviously, but many people don ' t fully understand the story and the mysteries connected with it, so I figured I ' d provide a summary...

The Antidepressant Era: the movie
No apologies here, this article (and videos) have been lifted straight from David Healy’s excellent website. It’s important that as many people as possible have the chance to read the piece and take time to watch the film. As far as the pharmaceutical industry is concerned, I can tell you from first hand experience that the industry still believes in its own hype… do more, feel better and live longer is Glaxo’s strapline and no one in that company thinks there’s even a hint of irony in that. Now for Dr Healy’s piece: The Antidepressant Era: the movie The Antidepressant Era was written i...

Canada - Fired doctor sues B.C. Liberal government, claims interference to protect party donors
The claim was made by Dr. William Warburton, an expert in health-data research who was previously under contract with the Ministry of Health investigating the effects of atypical antipsychotic medications. Warburton is arguing that the Ministry’s alleged wrongful termination of his contract caused him a loss of more than $100,000 and that comments attributable to MacDiarmid were made “falsely and maliciously” and amount to defamation. None of the allegations contained in the claim’s statement of facts have been proven in court. The defendants have yet to file a statement of defence. The court file states: “The...

New York Times Attack on ADHD Treatment: The Treatment as the Disease
In a much discussed New York Times story on the explosion of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses, reporter Alan Schwarz writes that 15 percent of high school kids now have a diagnosis, and the number of children on medication to treat it has grown to 3.5 million, up from only 600,000 in 1990. "The disorder is now the second most frequent long-term diagnosis made in children, narrowly trailing asthma, according to a New York Times analysis of C.D.C. data," Schwarz writes. However, a critical analysis of Schwarz's reporting notes several problems with his major claims. The central tension of diagnosin...

“Give me your tired, your poor…”
The rapid influx of unaccompanied immigrant children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in the last few months has spurred a national conversation regarding the United States’ role in offering refuge to these children, the majority of whom are fleeing widespread gang violence and delinquency in their home countries of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. A key talking point for some in the debate has become the supposed threat to public health that these children pose. Pundits and politicians, from city councils to the U.S. Congress, have latched on to the alarmist claim that immigrant children are carrying diseases with t...

Narrative Matters: Shining A Light On Child Health
Last month, a group of writers, clinicians, policy makers and other experts gathered at Airlie House in Warrenton, Virginia, for the 2014 Narrative Matters Symposium. About an hour outside the city, the scenic fall setting—rolling farm land and trees with auburn and gold leaves—was the perfect backdrop to take attendees outside of their normal day-to-day work and introduce them to others who also are deeply passionate about improving the health of vulnerable children. The focus of this year’s symposium was “Vulnerable Children: Using Stories to Shine a Light on Child Health.” Manuel Pastor, professor of S...

(Auto)biography as health literature
When I started out in health librarianship, I am sure there was a book called "At the end of all our work is a patient".  I can't find it at the moment, but I can find an article by Shane Godbolt with that title (1).  And as she was my first boss, that is an excellent thing to find, and perhaps that is what I was thinking of.   That fact attracted me to this field of work, and still does. Watching the excellent History Boys recently (excellent, and to some extent familiar, as I was at school then, though not in Sheffield and not looking to go to Oxbridge or do history), I was reminded of Alan Benne...

Greece Is Being Taxed to Death
American news stories about the Greek financial collapse frequently echo complaints of government employees and their supplicants about “budget cuts.”  In reality, Greek government spending rose from 44.6 percent of GDP in early 2006 to 54 percent in 2010 and 59.2 percent in 2014 (although this is partly because private GDP fell even faster than government spending).  Military spending is particularly lavish in Greece, second only to the United States within NATO as a percentage of GDP.   What is rarely mentioned in all the one-sided confusion about “austerity” is the other side of the budget–namely, taxes.  ...
