Therapist or Patient: Who ’ s in Charge?
Let’s talk about psychotherapy. Why hasn’t it changed much in the last century? And if a patient isn’t getting well, is it the fault of the patient, the therapist or the therapy itself? In today’s podcast, Gabe and psychologist Barry L. Duncan discuss the idea of holding therapists more accountable when the patient isn’t getting better.
Join us for a great discussion that sheds new light on how we should be treating mental health issues.

Health Care 101 Continued: The allocation problem
We often hear sentiments to the effect that human life is infinitely precious, that you can ' t put a price on human life. While most people probably think this instinctively, it is conservatives, and particularly religious conservatives, who are most likely to try to apply the concept in reality. Do you remember the ravings about " death panels " when the Affordable Care Act passed? Of course there ' s nothing in the ACA that could conceivably be construed that way, but the scary meme was imported from arguments about single payer or, as in the UK, socialized medicine schemes.To put this in the simplest and starkest terms...

Will Trump, Congressional Infections Boost Innovations For Covid-19 Survivors?
By MICHAEL MILLENSON
When powerful politicians confront a life-threatening diagnosis, it can change policy priorities.
In addition to President Trump and a slew of top aides, five U.S. senators and 15 members of the House of Representatives have now tested positive or been presumed positive in tests for Covid-19 as of Oct. 5, according to a running tally by National Public Radio (NPR).
In that light, the recent burst of coronavirus infections could accelerate three significant innovations affecting every Covid-19 survivor.
1) Post-Covid Clinics
Even seemingly mild encounters with the coronavirus can tr...

Health Care 101, continued
Okay, back to where we were before I was so rudely interrupted. As we have established, insurance is about risk pools. Sure, you can offer a cheap policy if you only sell it to people who are young and healthy, and that ' s what would happen in a non-regulated ( " free " ) market; but that would be largely pointless. As soon as somebody actually needed the insurance, they would not be able to renew it. People who are fortunate enough to have employer-provided insurance (which is an oddity largely specific to the United States, for historical reasons we won ' t go into there) don ' t generally have this problem. Employ...

Your Privacy In The Digital Health Era: The Medical Futurist ’s Guide
As solutions like remote care are becoming the norm, 3D-printing disrupts the normal supply chain and even the number of life science studies on tools like artificial intelligence (A.I.) skyrocket, it’s become clear that we are not anticipating the digital health era; we are in the digital health era due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
First and foremost, it’s an era defined by a cultural transformation that will upend the traditional structure of healthcare. Clinical-grade sensors are available outside of the ivory towers of medicine; patients demand such tools so that they can become more proactive in managing the...

Biden ’ s Nov 9th speech: “Don’t you force me to pass Medicare 4 All”
By MATTHEW HOLT
The new Supreme Court, in all likelihood including just nominated Justice Amy Coney Barrett, will be hearing the California v Texas suit against the ACA on November 10th, seven days after the election. The lower courts have already ruled the ACA unconstitutional. Some hopeful moderates among my Democratic friends seem to believe that the justices will show cool heads, and not throw out the ACA. But it’s worth remembering that in the NFIB vs. Sebelius decision which confirmed the legitimacy of most of the ACA back in 2011 all the conservative justices with the exception of John Roberts voted to ...

Lifestyle medicine for all: Healthy food comes first
“Lifestyle medicine is only for rich people, right?” a colleague asked me several years ago, questioning my involvement in this relatively new field of medicine that guides people toward healthy habits. This has been a common misperception, for sure.
But across the US, a revitalized brand of health activism is intent on bringing lifestyle medicine to a broader range of people. This is backed by a new effort from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to engage communities most affected by chronic disease.
The first pillar of healthy lifestyle: Food is medicine
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based practice of hel...

Discrimination, high blood pressure, and health disparities in African Americans
Over the past few months, we have all seen the results of significant disruption to daily life due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high levels of unemployment, and civil unrest driven by chronic racial injustice. These overlapping waves of societal insult have begun to bring necessary attention to the importance of health care disparities in the United States.
Direct links between stress, discrimination, racial injustice, and health outcomes occurring over one’s lifespan have not been well studied. But a recently published article in the journal Hypertension has looked at the connection between discrimination and increased ris...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 14th 2020
This study is the first to provide a direct link between this inflammation and plaque development - by way of IFITM3.
Scientists know that the production of IFITM3 starts in response to activation of the immune system by invading viruses and bacteria. These observations, combined with the new findings that IFITM3 directly contributes to plaque formation, suggest that viral and bacterial infections could increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease development. Indeed, researchers found that the level of IFITM3 in human brain samples correlated with levels of certain viral infections as well as with gamma-secretase activ...

The Medical AI Floodgates Open, at a Cost of $1000 per Patient
By LUKE OAKDEN-RAYNER
In surprising news this week, CMS (the Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services) in the USA approved the first reimbursement for AI augmented medical care. Viz.ai have a deep learning model which identifies signs of stroke on brain CT and automatically contacts the neurointerventionalist, bypassing the first read normally performed by a general radiologist.
From their press material:
Viz.ai demonstrated to CMS a significant reduction in time to treatment and improved clinical outcomes in patients suffering a stroke. Viz LVO has been granted a New Technology Add on Payment of up to&nb...
