" 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...

An open letter to Psychological Medicine, again!
In conclusion, noted Wilshire et al., “the claim that patients can recover as a result of CBT and GET is not justified by the data, and is highly misleading to clinicians and patients considering these treatments.” In short, the PACE trial had null results for recovery, according to the protocol definition selected by the authors themselves. Besides the inflated recovery results reported in Psychological Medicine, the study suffered from a host of other problems, including the following: *In a paradox, the revised recovery thresholds for physical function and fatigue–two of the four recovery measures–were so lax ...

Dave Bradley ’ s Music
TL:DR – I have dozens of songs and instrumentals for you to download or stream through my BandCamp page right now. Although, I’m probably best known as a professional science writer and an amateur wildlife photographer, when I’m not involved in those you might catch me singing and playing live with my band, C5 Website/Facebook, or in our community a choir (TyrannoChorus). You can hear my latest solo and collaborative recorded music on BandCamp and SoundCloud. Some of my stuff is on Spotify and iTunes too, including a few cover songs. As of 30th July 2023, Mrs Sciencebase and myself are also now veterans ...

10 Ways to Overcome Creativity’s No.1 Crusher
“The worst enemy of creativity is self-doubt,” wrote Sylvia Plath in her journal. And she couldn’t have been more accurate. Self-doubt can persuade us to stop creating or keep us from sending our work out into the world. It can be so influential that it colors how we see ourselves, ensuring we don’t pick up a pen, paintbrush, camera or other tool for decades. “Self-doubt paralyzed me for 25 years,” said Meghan Davidson, Ph.D, a psychologist, professor and researcher at the University of Nebraska. When Davidson was eight years old, her art teacher wrote in her report card that she had “no artistic abi...

Link feast
In case you missed them - 10 of the best psychology links from the past week: 1. Love this - "Neuroscience may be sexier than psychology right now, and it certainly has a lot more money and celebrity. But they really cannot get along without each other." Alison Gopnik in the Wall Street Journal. 2. New Scientist has started a new column written by people with "mysterious neurological conditions". The first is by Heather Sellers who has a severe form of prosopagnosia (AKA face blindness). 3. There's been lots of coverage this last week about NIMH director Thomas R. Insel's announcement that his organisation - the wo...

The Gendered Situation at Harvard Law School – Part I
The Harvard Crimson‘s Dev Patel has an outstanding series of articles this week on gender inequality at Harvard Law School. Here are some excerpts from the first article, titled “Once Home to Kagan and Warren, HLS Faculty Still Only 20 Percent Female” in the series. Just 20 percent of U.S. senators are female. Women make up a mere 21.6 percent of the lawyers who serve as general counsels to Fortune 500 companies. Only three of the nine Supreme Court Justices are women. But these figures are still higher than the proportion of women within the ranks of the Harvard Law School faculty. At Elizabeth Warren an...

Novo's Moses: 'We Are Open To Sharing' Data With The ADA
Two weeks ago, the NIH ran a workshop to examine the safety of several widely used diabetes drugs called GLP-1 inhibitors and whether a definitive link can be established to acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, which were the subject of recent studies that generated considerable controversy. The outcome was inconclusive, but the FDA may want further studies. Meanwhile, the American Diabetes Association called for drugmakers that sell these meds to release patient-level data that can be used for an independent review (back stories here, here and here). To what extent the drugmakers - Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZ...

RevenueXL EHR - Enhancing the Value of Belonging to Professional Organizations
  This post has been contributed by Alan Edwards who holds an MBA in Health Care and is a former hospital CEO and group practice administrator. He continues to be active in the field and often writes on health insurance and health policy.

How Patient Groups Have Begun To Influence The Value And Coverage Debate
In 2015, two issues related to medicine could be relied on to generate headlines: drug pricing and the proliferation of new value frameworks that claimed to define the value and even the price of drugs in seemingly easy-to-understand ways. In none of the high-profile skirmishes on pricing or frameworks was the voice or perspective of patients and patient groups very much in evidence. But that is beginning to change, in an evolution of a broader shift in the role that patients are playing in the research and development (R&D) enterprise. A New Culture of Engagement Patients and patient organizations are becoming ever mo...

End-of-Life Healthcare Sessions at ASBH 2017
Conclusion: Patients with LEP had significant differences and disparities in end-of-life decision-making. Interventions to facilitate informed decision-making for those with LEP is a crucial component of care for this group. THU 1:30 pm:  “But She’ll Die if You Don’t!”: Understanding and Communicating Risks at the End of Life (Janet Malek) Clinicians sometimes decline to offer interventions even if their refusal will result in an earlier death for their patients. For example, a nephrologist may decide against initiating hemodialysis despite a patient’s rising creatinine levels if dea...
