" 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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Will Congress Repeat the Worst Blunder of the First “Stimulus” Bill?
Alan ReynoldsA bipartisan Congressional group is eager borrow and spend another $900 billion on a new COVID-19 bill. Yet they appear determined to repeat the most wastefulpolitical stunt of the last “stimulus bill.”On December 17,The Wall Street Journal reported that “the package includes another round of direct payments to households,” which was recently added back into the mix after “The Trump administration [via Treasury Secretary Mnuchin] …proposed sending $600 checks. ”Borrowing money to send everyone a little check may sound clever to myopic politicians. But it is morally indefensible because ...

If You Can ’ t Cure Me, Get Back to Living
By ALAN PITT Several months ago I had a conversation with Dr. Robert Spetzler, the Director of the Barrow Neurological Institute. During our interview Dr. Spetzler mentioned that the patient needs to become captain of their own ship. I agree. Although most of us (as patients) would like someone to step in and care for us when we’re sick, rising costs and limited providers make it impossible for the healthcare industry to meet America’s expectations for care. Healthcare needs patient partners. But in all fairness, I thought to ask a patient what they need. So, with the start of 2017, I thought to ask turned to someone ...

It's Official: DSM 5 is a Pissing Contest
First, I want to tell you that I have a conflict of interest when it comes to discussing both Dr. Kupfer and Dr. Frances: they were both my teachers, and they are people I hold in esteem.  Dr. Kupfer ran a summer program in psychiatry for college students, the Mellon Fellowship in Psychiatry for Undergraduates, and in the summer of 1983, as a college student aspiring to go to medical and become a psychiatrist, I was one of 8 students from across the country to receive one of these grants. It was an opportunity that opened doors for me and changed my life, and I remember Dr. Kupfer as a warm, kind teacher and I remain ...

The Time Is Now For A Consumer Health Movement
Throughout history, social movements have galvanized wide-scale improvements in population health and quality of life. HIV/AIDS activists banded together to strengthen social services for patients, educate the public about the disease, and compel research and treatment investments that have relegated the condition to a chronic, manageable disease. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (now called simply Susan G. Komen) brought the issue of breast cancer out of the shadows, raising billions of dollars and saving lives by making whole families aware of the importance of prevention and early detection. Thanks to Mothers...
