The Truth About Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery
Have you been told your tubal ligation is not reversible…or once your tubes have been tied that you can never be a mother again? The truth is that tubal ligation is reversible and you can be a mother again. Many health care providers will mistakenly advise you your only option to have more children after tubal ligation is in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Unfortunately this is not correct. In fact, tubal reversal can be more affordable and more successful than IVF. Leading reproductive specialists have recently reported: “Tubal reversal has a significantly higher pregnancy rate than IVF, and is more affordable, e...

How to Win Even When You Fail
What do the premier designer Vera Wang, the famous 1800s scientist and author of “On the Origin of Species” Charles Darwin, and NPR radio icon Terry Gross have in common? They all failed. And it wasn’t just the trial-and-error, have-to-pay-your-dues kind of failures that most anyone has to endure in order to succeed in any given field. These talented people actually failed to reach their initial dreams, aspirations that were based on entirely different professions than what they are so famously known for! Vera Wang dreamed of becoming an ice-skater but failed to make the 1968 U.S. Olympic figure-skating team. Then, s...

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 ...

Collaboration with hospitalists, rather than competition, improves patient care
It’s been 21 years since Drs. Robert Wachter and Lee Goldman, in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, first described a new delivery model called “hospitalists” – clinicians whose primary professional focus is the care of hospitalized patients. Since that time the healthcare system has seen rapid growth of hospitalist programs across a variety of specialties. In the OB world, I have had the opportunity to observe the entire transition from both sides. In my opinion, the addition of a unit (OB emergency department, or OBED) where every patient presenting to labor and delivery for unscheduled care is ...

Eugenics, UCL and freedom of speech
Jump to follow-up On Monday evening (8th January 2018), I got an email from Ben van der Merwe, a UCL student who works as a reporter for the student newspaper, London Student.  He said “Our investigation has found a ring of academic psychologists associated with Richard Lynn’s journal Mankind Quarterly to be holding annual conferences at UCL. This includes the UCL psychologist professor James Thompson”. He asked me for comment about the “London Conference on Intelligence”. His piece came out on Wednesday 10th January. It was a superb piece of investigative journalism.  On the same ...

What ’s love got to do with it: lessons from a dying physician
They came from all corners of the globe to bid him farewell. He looked cachetic, his frail form interrupted by swelling in his abdomen and legs, a result of end-stage pancreatic cancer. It was Dr. Yeat’s last week in the hospital before being transferred to a nearby hospice.  He was now on morphine, and despite severe fatigue and difficulty breathing, he always managed a smile. Some of his visitors were former colleagues; others were friends, previous medical trainees, and mentees. Amidst moments of laughter, crying, and sober reflection, each recounted one anecdote after another of their encounters with Dr. Yeat at som...

Are you an artisan or just a medical professional?
Take a moment to ask yourself the following: 1. Did I come to practice medicine because it was a calling, rather than a possibly lucrative career path? 2. Do I consider the practice of medicine primarily an art, a craft and the consistent application of evidence-based care? 3. Do I respond to inner measures of prideful work more than the appeal of external motivators? 4. Are there lines that cannot be crossed, even if they provide more productivity or profitability? If you replied yes to all four, then it is likely you are an artisan more than solely a professional. By “professional” I mean an individual whose work req...

Guest Article: How to decide which hospital systems to prioritize when planning for disaster recovery
I recently saw BridgeHead Software’s white paper on Healthcare Disaster Recovery and found it quite useful. I invited Charles Mallio, Jr., who is currently Vice President of Business Development for BridgeHead, to give us a summary of their thinking around DR in healthcare. Prior to joining BridgeHead, Charles worked for 12 years at MEDITECH, the last six of which he was responsible for worldwide customer technical support for all MEDITECH platforms.

Jul 9, The Clinical Method: Today in the History of Psychology (9th July 1903)
Charles Gilman, the first client to be treated at the world's first psychological clinic at the University of Pennsylvania (clinic entrance shown in picture) had his last session with pioneering psychologist Lightner Witmer who had been approached by Charles Gilman's teacher, concerned over his student's inability to learn to spell. As part of an innovative approach which Witmer called 'the clinical method' Gilman was assessed using a combination of psychological tests and educational interventions; the result of which was a significant improvement in Gilman's academic performance.

Crying when a patient suffers a devastating loss
I was a second-year resident, doing a 24-hour shift on maternity care. I’d spent some arduous nights on call with my attending physician, Dr. Campbell. Now, we sat at the nursing station, joking about what this one might bring. “You must be a black cloud,” she teased, accusing me of being one of those unfortunate residents who seem to attract medical emergencies. I laughingly protested, but in fact, these quiet nights worried me. I felt on edge, waiting for something, anything to happen. Finally, the emergency department called to say that a possibly laboring mom was on her way up. We got her name, which ...

Shortening time in medical school is a bad idea. Or is it?
Recently, there has been a number of articles on reducing the length of medical training to help ease the physician shortage. And our medical curriculum is due for a major overhaul. Its foundational document, the Flexner report, was released over 100 years ago, and our medical needs and knowledge have changed. Shortening medical education may provide a “bonus” in easing the anticipated shortage of physicians but may have more significant unanticipated consequences. The bonus While estimates vary, we are expected to need an additional 100,000 physicians beyond our current capacity to graduate physicians by 2030. Current...

It ’s time to study firearm morbidity and mortality as we do any other public health issue
Among modern industrialized nations, only the United States endures the current public health epidemic of firearm-assisted injury and death. In 2017, nearly 40,000 people were shot to death in the U.S., while proponents of the Second Amendment continue to protect it at all costs — fighting even common sense measures such as limiting access to […]Find jobs at  Careers by KevinMD.com.  Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.  Learn more.
