Rosenberg and Pringle , what a team!
Selling Marked Up Drugs with Made Up Patients-- Part Two by Martha Rosenberg and Evelyn Pringle No drug ads or Pharma sponsors dot the website of the Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation which has renamed itself the Zen-like "Balanced Mind Foundation." (Meditation/medication--same idea, right?) Instead, visitors to the site will find slick slide shows, tales of children saved by bipolar drugs and a list of donor families. But according to the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry the actual guidelines the Balanced Mind Foundation uses to discern bipolar disorder in children and adolescents w...

Nat Is Okay
I have been having a very hard time managing my feelings about what happened to Nat in July. I think about whether he is happy or okay very often. I have nightmares. I talk about it too much. It’s because I feel that I didn’t protect him well enough and I don’t know how to move forward. But even more, I am so worried about how Nat has internalized all that happened to him. How does someone who has a communication challenge like his talk through and make sense of trauma? So I went to see my old therapist. She had the idea that I make a Nat book for him, just like I did when he was a really little guy and n...

The Implications of the CareFusion/ Dr Denham/ NQF/ Leapfrog Group Case Continue to Grow, but Remain Anechoic
The story about CareFusion, Dr Charles Denham, and the National Quality Forum certainly has legs, but continues to tread very softly. BackgroundAt the time of our last post, on January 28, 2014, the basics were:-  The case became public with an apparently routine legal settlement between CareFusion and the US Department of Justice -  The CareFusion settlement for $40.1 million was made in response to allegations that kickbacks were made to promote ChloraPrep, a solution meant for preoperative and other health care skin cleaning-  The Department of Justice news release also alleged that payments wer...

Nice timing: Our paper on the Darwin's Finch genome is out today on Darwin's birthday
Birthday party for Darwin in 2009 Well, I assume this was on purpose from the folks at Biomed Central but not sure.  Our paper on the genome of one of Darwin's Finches is out today in BMC Genomics: BMC Genomics | Abstract | Insights into the evolution of Darwin's finches from comparative analysis of the Geospiza magnirostris genome sequence. There is a long long long story behind this paper.  Too long for me to write up right now.  I wrote up some of the story for a Figshare posting of the genome data last year. “Darwin’s Finches” are a model system for the study of various aspects of evolut...

EMR Research, EMR Blogging, and EMR Whitepapers
#his2013 Overhage: EMR deployment success is also creating a problem as we deploy Commerial products – more difficult to experiment/research — Ross D. Martin (@RossMartin) April 26, 2013 This is an interesting observation. I see what Ross means when it comes to experimentation. Meaningful use and the rest of the government regulations are sucking the innovation out of healthcare IT and EMR in particular. However, from a research stand point, EMR can open up a whole new section of research. Maybe Ross was referring to research on the best way to do EMR. Agree! cc @intelhealthit RT @peggylou74 Lots of good EMR b...

Eagle Claw and Honey Badger
“As health concerns for former President Carter mount,” Caleb Brown noted recently in this space, “it’s nice to be able to look back on his time in the White House and see something remarkably positive.” Indeed, our 39th president doesn’t remotely merit the bad rap he gets from conservatives and libertarians. As I wrote a few years back, “at its best, the Carter legacy was one of workaday reforms that made significant improvements in American life: cheaper travel and cheaper goods for the middle class.” For loosening controls on oil, trucking, railroads, and airlines, he should, Daniel Bier suggests,...

Matthew Holt ’ s EOY 2017 letter (charities/issues/gossip)
Right at the end of every year I write a letter summarizing my issues and charities. And as I own the joint here, I post it on THCB! Please take a look–Matthew Holt Well 2017 has been quite a year, and last year 2016 I failed to get my end-of-year letter out at all. This I would like to think was due to extreme business but it probably came down to me being totally lazy. On the other hand like many of you I may have just been depressed about the election–2016 was summed up by our cat vomiting on our bed at 11.55 on New Years Eve. Having said that even though most of you will never comment on this letter and I ...
