" 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...

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...

Dr. Alan Blum Points Out Big Tobacco Connections of Sponsor of Film on Cancer
Dr. Alan Blum - the Gerald Leon Wallace, M.D., Endowed Chair in Family Medicine at the University of Alabama and director of the Center for the Study of Tobacco and Society - published an interesting op-ed last Friday in the Tuscaloosa News. The commentary reveals that several of the sponsors of the recent PBS documentary on cancer as well as the Stand Up to Cancer telethon have strong connections to Big Tobacco and are actually helping contribute to the tobacco epidemic.I recommend reading the whole piece, but a few of the most relevant excerpts follow: "At the 16th World Conference on Tobacco or Health in Abu Dhabi last...

Phillip Cagan ’s 1984 Reflections on a Gold-Convertible Currency
Milton Friedman publishedStudies in the Quantity Theory of Money in 1956, a seminal anthology of papers from five economists, leading with “The Monetary Dynamics of Hyperinflation” –the recent PhD dissertation ofPhillip Cagan (1927-2012), which became an instant classic. So, Cagan was thought to be a “Monetarist” a dozen years before that phrase was even coined by my UCLA teacher,Karl Brunner.Soon after August 15, 1971 when President Nixon opted to renege on the Bretton Woods pledge to convert foreign official dollar reserves into gold on demand (rather than simply devalue the dollar/gold ratio), we entered a l...

COVID-19 Deaths and Incredible WHO Estimates
Alan Reynolds“Death Toll Hits 9 as Outbreak Spreads, ” was the scaryWall Street Journalheadline in print before it was toned downonline. COVID-19 deaths at a nursing home and hospital in Washington state were unrelated to the virusspreading“across the U.S.” The facts tell us much more about the exceptionally high risks of fatal infection from COVID-19 (or pneumonia or flu) among elderly people living close together in nursing homes or hospitals, many of them already sick.The ongoing COPD-19 outbreak in Kirkland Washington at the Life Care nursing home and Evergreen hospital represents high ‐risk...

The Unintelligible Psaki ‐Biden Theory of Oil Prices
Alan ReynoldsJust as Congress was poised to ban imports of Russian oil, President Biden got the jump on them with an executive order. Despite the delay, it was the right thing to do as a national expression of moral outrage over Russian military atrocities.The White House repeatedly explained its two ‐week inaction by suggesting that U.S. gasoline prices depend on how much oil we buy from this one minor source of imports.In late FebruaryReuters reported, “As the White House developed the sanctions package… [officials] were concerned about the possible impacts of a loss of Russian oil supply at a time of rising...

Fed Chairman Powell ’s “Base Effects” Are Revealing
Alan ReynoldsAt the Federal Reserve Chairman ’sMarch 16 press conference, he announced that “we expect inflation to remain high through the middle of the year, begin to come down.” Prodded by reporters for more explanation. Chairman Powell acknowledged that “part of inflation coming down [in the Spring] is clearly to do with factors other than our policy, and those would include … certainlybase effects [emphasis added] … When you look at a 12 ‐month trailing window, you’re lapping very high inflation in March, April, May, June of last year. So, there should be some effects from that … in a 12...

Core PCE Inflation Has Been Slowing Down
Alan ReynoldsCore inflation slowed substantially in February and March to less than 0.3% a month (.029%). The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose more slowly this March than it did a year ago (as shown by the blue bars in the graph).The backward ‐lookingyear ‐to‐year price change nonetheless still appeared misleadingly high this March (5.2%) because of rapid price increaseslast year– during the second and fourth quarters.The red line in the graph projects that if the February to March monthly pace continues for the next three months, the year ‐to‐year increase in co...

Why is the Fed Further Inverting the Yield Curve?
Alan ReynoldsThe yield on 10 ‐year Treasury bonds fell below 3.5% recently—down from 4.25% on October 24 before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) last raised the top fed funds rate to 4%. The 10‐year bond yield has been lower than the interest rate on 3‑month Treasury bills for well over a month, leaving t he spread between short and long rates the widest in decades.If the FOMC paused raising rates at the December 12 –13 meeting, the yield curve is already inverted enough to virtually guarantee recession next year, according toArturo Estrella, a renowned veteran researcher from the New York Fed. Y...

Inflation Fell to 1.9% in the Second Half of 2022 from 10.7% in the First
Alan ReynoldsIn the first half of 2022, January to June, CPI inflation averaged 0.89% a month (nearly 1%). In the second half, the monthly changes averaged 0.16% (less than two‐tenth of one percent).Just multiply the average monthly inflation rate times twelve to see that the annual rate of inflation slowed from 10.7% in the first half to 1.9% in the second.Reducing inflation by 8.8 percentage points for half a year seems worthy of more attention. Instead, top Fed officials and uncritical journalists keep speaking and writing as though the change was barely discernable, merely a slight easing. The reason for that...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 23: The Great Rapprochement
George SelginWhat finally brought the Great Depression to an end? We ' ve seen that, whatever it was, it took place not during the 30s but sometime between then and the end of World War II, when a remarkable postwar revival occurred instead of the renewed depression many feared. We ' ve also seen that, while postwar fiscal and monetary policies weren ' t austere to the point of preventing that revival, they alone can ' t explain it, because they can ' t explain the reawakening of private business investment from its decade-and-a-half-long slumber.Animal SpiritsTo get to the bottom of that reawakening, we must first recall ...
