" Strike Two " : A Pediatrician ' s " Dance " with Alan Levine/Ballad Health - And WHY We Need Federal Medical Whistle-blower Protection For ALL Healthcare " Workers " NOW
This is the story of how government failed me as a Pediatrician - for the second time.  The saddest thing of all is that there is a " Strike Three " .  Nobody cares about Pediatrics - or Pediatricians.  They haven ' t for a very long time.  This is a long post.  Don ' t whine about it.  Read it. CARE that somebody trying to stand up for your children lived it - and not for the first time.Twenty-two years ago, the morally-bankrupt executives of my now fiscally-bankrupt hometown hospital (in Asheboro, North Carolina) railroaded me out of town . . . after I intervened in a nursery case being...

Proposed FDA Guidance on Financial Disclosure and the Physician Payment Sunshine Regulations – Divergent Paths and Duplicated Efforts
Conclusion  The increased regulation and requirements to disclose FCOIs creates a tremendous burden for researchers and institutions that are repetitive, overlapping but not-identical, and time-consuming.  Nevertheless, institutions that receive PHS funding can manage FCOIs in a number of ways: (1) public disclosure of the FCOI (e.g., when presenting or publishing the research); (2) disclosure of the FCOI directly to human participants; (3) appointment of an independent monitor capable of taking measures to protect the design, conduct, and reporting of the research against bias resulting from the FCOI; (4) modification ...

Voices for Vaccines: 11 Facts Show How it’s a Propaganda Ploy for Emory University, CDC, and Big Pharma
Conclusion The Voices for Vaccines program at the Task Force for Global Health may be administered by a few mothers, but they are not the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes. The information in this article reveals who keeps the lights on for the website and the Task Force organization as a whole. Furthermore, the past, present and future relationships with the Centers for Disease Control, Emory University, and pharmaceutical companies should immediately raise a red flag for any parent. Especially when the message calls for you to blindly trust doctors injecting dangerous chemicals into your child. If you want to ta...

Imaginary Squabbles Part 3: Krugman and DeLong’s Changing Theories and Missing Facts
Alan Reynolds Responding to a student question after a recent Kansas State debate with Brad DeLong I posed a conceptual puzzle.  I asked students to ponder why textbooks treat Treasury sales of government bonds as a “stimulus” to demand (nominal GDP) in the same sense as Federal Reserve purchases of such bonds.  “Those are very different polices,” I noted; “Why should they have the same effect?”   The remark was intended to encourage students to probe more deeply into what such metaphors as “stimulating” or “jump starting” really mean, not to accept as dogma that fiscal and monetary poli...

“I am excited”: Making Stress Work for You, Instead of Against You
Image: The Yerkes-Dodson Law (YDL) — How much stress is good for you? In 1908, Robert Mearns Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson designed an experiment that would begin to tackle the question, “How much stress is good for you?” The researchers tracked mice to see how stress would affect their ability to learn. Simple—yet painful, because how do you stress out mice? You shock them. The researchers set up two corridors to choose from—one painted white and the other black—and if a mouse went down the black corridor, ZAP! Yerkes and Dodson observed that given too mild a shock, the mice just shrugged it off and kept ...

SMACC PK Round-Up 4
As promised last week, here’s a round up of the next battery of PK SMACC-talks gunning for the prize of an iPad Mini at the increasingly imminent SMACC conference. Alan Williams gives the 400 second run down on Non-Invasive Ventilation we all wished we’d been given before we first slapped it on a patient. Something’s got to give is Becky Szekely‘s enlightening overview of organ transplantation from an intensive care perspective in Australia. (NB. The sound is a little shaky at the start but gets better). I’ve been looking forward to Emergency Medicine Ireland‘s Andy Neill (@andyneill) joi...

The Old Infrastructure Excuse for Bigger Deficits
Alan Reynolds Washington Post columnist/blogger Ezra Klein recently echoed the latest White House rationale for additional “stimulus” spending for 2013-15 and postponing spending restraint (including sequestration) until after the 2014 elections. Klein argues for “a 10- or 12-year deficit reduction plan that includes a substantial infrastructure investment in the next two or three years.” In other words, a “deficit-reduction plan” that increases deficits until the next presidential election year. Citing Larry Summers (who similarly promoted Obama’s 2009 stimulus plan while head of the National Economic Counc...

Meeting Jane Goodall & The Chimpanzees
After one of the hardest hikes of my life, I stepped into a small clearing and turned to see a full-grown male chimp perched in a tree just above and behind me. He was close enough to attack if he’d wanted to. Thankfully, he didn’t want to… I grew up reading National Geographic magazine from cover to cover every month. There I learned about diverse cultures, amazing ecosystems, and drank in vivid images of wild animals. It’s also where I, like many of you, first experienced meeting Jane Goodall. The amazing Jane Goodall. It’s one of the things that shaped my attitudes toward health, the environment and our place ...

5 takeaways for returning to school
School districts in the United States are in a period of profound uncertainty, which will likely persist throughout the 2020–2021 school year. Many agree that remote teaching in spring 2020 was piecemeal and sub-optimal. Now, despite a stated universal commitment to full-time, in-person, high-caliber education, many states have rising rates of COVID-19, and teachers and parents share deep health concerns. Already we have witnessed a rapid and seismic transition from the beginning of this summer — in June, many schools planned to open full-time for in-person learning — to near-universal adoption of hybrid or remote te...

Unlike Next Month, the November CPI Was Dominated by Oil
Alan ReynoldsUSA Today headline says, “Inflation rate surges as CPI data shows prices rose 6.8% in November, the fastest spike since 1982. ”That 6.8% figure does not describe what happened this November at all. It measures what happened at some points in time between the brutal pandemic of 2020 (when U.S. deaths from COVID-19 rose from 908 on November 1  to 2,389 by November 30) and the much safer and stronger global economy of November 2021.To find a  record “spike” in November, we must look at monthly data, not 12‐​month changes. The graph highlights monthly changes in three categories:Energy, which has rel...

Fed Chair Powell ’s Story about Service Price Inflation Is Untrue
Alan ReynoldsInThe Wall Street Journal’s “Year ‐​End Review&  Outlook,” Sam Goldfarb deftly summarized a recent shift in the Federal Reserve’s focus away from PCE inflation —which slowed to a 2.4% rate from July to November— to a diverse hodgepodge of services prices.“In recent remarks,Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has emphasized that, even in recent months, there has been only a  modest slowdown in price increases for core services outside of housing. That is an area of the economy seen as most sensitive to labor costs, which have shown few signs of decelerating.”Although Mr. Powell ’s latest s...
