" 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...

Harvard Health AdWatch: An arthritis ad in 4 parts
Perhaps you’ve grown as weary as I have of repeated arthritis ads. They appear in frequent rotation on television, online, and in magazines, promoting Enbrel, Humira, Otezla, Xeljanz, and others.
If you’ve actually read or listened to these ads, you might have felt perplexed at certain points. Here’s a quick rundown on what they’re saying — and not saying — in one of those ads.
“The clock is ticking”
Part 1: A teakettle whistles on the stove and a disembodied voice speaks as this ad for Humira opens. “This is your wakeup call. If you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month the cloc...

Wait, Other People Don ’ t Think about Suicide?
The most startling thing I’ve heard in my life is that not everyone thinks about suicide every day. Or now and then. Or even once in a long while.
Can that be?
I heard this from a co-worker a while ago. We were collaborating on a dreary project, and I joked about it being the kind of work that makes you want to kill yourself and what a relief that would be.
“I know, right?” I expected her to say. Instead, she chuckled uncomfortably, then asked if I really thought that way. When I said yes, she was taken aback and a little disbelieving.
“You never have?” I asked.
“Of course not!”
I was taken aback. And a littl...

A Dream Deferred? Price Transparency in the American Healthcare System
By JOANNE RODRIGUES-CRAIG
Financial well-being, or the state
of an individual’s personal monetary affairs, is one of the six core indicators
of wellness in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. Poor financial
well-being can lead to a whole host of short and long term mental and physical
health issues, including depression, anxiety, troubled relationships and
chronic stress.[1]
[2]
It is surprising how American
hospitals and other health providers have neglected financial well-being when
considering their patients’ health. In a recent study by the American Cancer
Association, 56% of Americans suffer from hardsh...

Domestic Violence During Lockdown: How to Cope and Stay Safe
For victims of domestic violence, the pandemic has made day-to-day life incredibly difficult. Prior to social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, and business closures, victims could at least get a break from their abusers by going to work, taking a walk, or running errands. They could safely use a library’s computer to learn about domestic violence resources and seek support.
According to Carol A. Lambert, LICSW, a psychotherapist and intimate partner abuse expert, these mandates “play into an abuser’s playbook of entrapment.”
It’s harder than ever to find a bit of freedom and privacy, said Tasseli McKay, a soc...

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine Covid-19 Guidelines: In Favor of Delaying Most Infertility Treatments without Devaluing Them
In response to the global
Covid-19 pandemic, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
created a specific task force to address infertility treatments, which were
only indirectly mentioned in other Covid-19 guidelines. Their guidelines
generated some controversy, as evidenced by a change.org
petition that as of this writing, has over 13,300 signatures opposing ASRM’s
recommendations to “[s]uspend initiation of new treatment cycles,” “[s]trongly
consider cancellation of all embryo transfers,” and “[s]uspend elective
surgeries and non-urgent diagnostic procedures.” More i...

Flipping the Stack: Can New Technology Drive Health Care ’s Future?
Conclusion & Implications
As with any analysis of
technology promising “disruption”, the careful reader needs to ask themselves
one primary question. Is this change real? Or is this just another PowerPoint
from a futurist that will be brushed off by the “mother of all adaptive
systems”?
The technology trends we
have described are already in motion. The question is, how big their impact
will be in health care? And how long will it take? Here are a few suggestions
for hospitals executives to help them understand the transition and assess the
rate of change.
Get familiar with the technologies...

Unity Farm Sanctuary and COVID Planning
You might think a farm sanctuary doesn ' t need cyber-liability insurance (we do because we track social security numbers associated with donations). You may not think that a Farm Sanctuary needs a comprehensive COVID plan.We need a plan for five reasons1. We are a community gathering point for over 100 volunteers and hundreds of people taking enrichment classes including Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Beekeeping, and Council on Aging activities.2. We are an employer with full time and part time workers3. We are accountable for the health of more than 250 creatures. Without humans, these crea...

Coronavirus and Regulation
Thomas A. Firey andPeter Van DorenCrises often illuminate “inefficient” public policies—ones with costs that outweigh their benefits. Society can tolerate (and may not even notice) them in ordinary times, allowing the policies to continue and protect and enrich special interests. But in crises, their costs become less tolerable.Because of the coronavirus, the U.S. economy is experiencing simultaneous negative shocks todemand andsupply. The demand shock is broadly understood: “social distancing” is causing people to avoid (and governments to close or curtail) mass transit, restaurants, personal services, and other...

An Educational Gap in Mental Health Care
Today, people who have lost the will to live and those who love them are in danger of falling through a gap in the mental health care system that doesn’t have to be there. The Economist, The New York Times, and The Washington Post have published articles this year about the continuing rise in the number of deaths by suicide. In USA Today’s “We tell suicidal people to go to therapy. So why are therapists rarely trained in suicide?”, author Alia Dastagir asks an extremely important question. These publications are not the only ones sounding an alarm. Among the other voices are survivors of suicide loss who have been ...

A Promising Hub For Digital Health: Kazakhstan
Sharing borders with Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, you find the world’s largest landlocked country, the Republic of Kazakhstan. Conversely, with its population of over 18 million spanning across an area of 2,724,900 km², the country also has one of the lowest population densities worldwide, at less than 6 people per square kilometre.
Being a relatively new republic and with its widespread inhabitants, Kazakhstan poses as an adequate hub for digital health to expand. Such a young republic’s ministry of health can develop around newer technologies and strategies brought forth with the adven...
