Yes, Medicare is a mess. But other developed countries have developed health care systems for all, some are better than others. Medicare-for-all could be many things, including choice. Don't condemn health care for all by pinning a pejorative term to it.

Holding a minority view in medicine has always been difficult, but so much more dangerous with papering over physicians with all kinds of uselessly repetitive boarding. Decisions made based on worthless paper, not physician expertise. http://bit.ly/2gJC1mN, #Evidence #AI

Just curious. Is anyone getting "notifications" that someone is accessing their twitter account from "X" place and suggesting changing password? I did. Twitter refuses to respond to my query about this, and I can't delete them. Nor can I block them.

These are excellent suggestions for attracting physicians to rural areas. Sadly, what seems to have been forgotten in today's healthcare climate was well understood in rural areas 50 years ago. http://bit.ly/2gJBYY9 #rural

Twenty years ago we wrote about the demise of the practice of medicine as non-physicians took over the management of physician decisions. At that time we thought patients could take back control of their health care, but the big business takeover of physician decisions has bypassed patient input. What we saw coming then has happened in spades.

No Door Knobs Yet…

Some young HR person once looked at my CV and asked me, quite seriously, if I had really done everything I had listed there. Well, yes. Because I am someone who can’t sit in a Morris Miller cubicle every day, much less for any great stretch of time. Once the problem is solved, I get bored and I’m ready to move on to the next challenge. This hasn’t afforded me any great stability in my work life. I simply arrive in places about ten years ahead of time. So far, at least, that penchant for early arrival hasn’t been accompanied with a pocketbook full of door handles.

Surviving Childbirth—Don’t Be a Maternal Death Statistic

It’s the 21st Century. That means women can breeze through childbirth and in good health raise their children, right? Sadly, maternal deaths have been increasing, despite advanced obstetrical care. Find out why, and what expectant parents and medical personnel should know, when you interview Alan Lindemann, M.D. He has delivered more than 6,000 babies (including many multiple births, even quads) during his decades-long career without losing a mom. On-air this fascinating professional will discuss the trouble with “maternity deserts” where women are hours away from where they’ll deliver… illnesses affecting healthy birthing… the impact of too many c-sections… who needs more OB nurses… plus additional issues that put mothers (and babies) at risk. Dr. Lindemann’s advice can save countless lives, families, and careers.
