"Hello, spring? Charles G. Hogg — Chuck, to those closest him — didn't see his shadow at the @statenislandzoo this morning. The photographer @bryanthomasphoto watched as the #groundhog predicted an early spring, making his bold prognostication amid the excitement of a crowd of onlookers. Chuck didn't bite anyone this year, as he did in 2009 when he nibbled at @mikebloomberg, who was then New York City's mayor. Nor were there any fumbles, like a 2014 fall from Mayor @billdeblasio's hands — and subsequent death — that prompted allegations of a cover-up orchestrated by city officials. #groundhogday" By nytimes on Inst...

Criminal matter for the Attorney General of NY? Hail the gods of medical computing, and the need for human sacrifice. NYC’s $764M medical records system will lead to ‘patient death’: insiders
I believe the suffering and death of my mother in 2010-2011 due to EHR flaws - including but not limited to lack of essential confirmation dialogs on medication deletion at triage, lack of notification messages informing down-line staff of such action by unqualified personnel (inadequate support of teamwork), and other issues - lends me some moral standing to comment on the following as a horrifying and potentially criminal matter. (See http://khn.org/news/scot-silverstein-health-information-technology/).Two back-to-back articles appeared in the New York Post: NYC’s $764M medical records system will lead to ‘pati...

Obama ’s Foreign Policy Is Linked to a Healthy, Restrained Immune System
With 58% of Americans disapproving of Obama’s foreign policy, mounting Ebola virus deaths, and flu season around the corner, I think it is important to synthesize an overlapping theme between how our country fights perceived threats, and how our bodies successfully or unsuccessfully fight disease. In short, I think Obama’s continued restraint and use of […]

If You Don ’t Look For It, You Will Miss It
Death leaves an invisible silence, a wrenching disappearance of love’s voice and presence. Your father held you in your first moments, poured his love and life into your cup, and told stories that created a fabled purpose from the dull chaos. And then he was no more. Are loved ones gone forever when they die? […]

Charles Darwin, Chagas ’ disease, and the killer kissing bugs of California
Follow me on Twitter @JohnRossMD
It is possible, although very unusual, to get Chagas’ disease in the United States. The medical journal Open Forum Infectious Diseases recently reported a case of Chagas’ disease acquired in California. A healthy 19-year-old student from the greater Los Angeles area donated blood, and tested positive for Chagas’ disease. (Blood donations in the United States are routinely screened for Chagas’ disease, as it is estimated that 300,000 Latin American immigrants in the United States have been infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.) He had never traveled to Latin America; his infection probab...

The Inherent Badness of Refinement
I had an interesting conversation with a psychologist friend of mine who specializes in treating sexual addictions. She did not tell me anything interesting in terms of specific cases, practices, or titillating bedroom details, but rather piqued my awareness of the brave new world of dating and casual sex as facilitated by apps like Tinder.
