Twenty years ago we wrote Modern Medicine about the demise of the practice of medicine as non-physicians took over the management of physician decisions.

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.

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.
