Healthcare, etc.: 3/1/13 - 4/1/13
http://evimedgroup.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 15, 2013. The New York Times, aspirin and melanoma, oh my! One of the reasons my blogging has fallen off lately is because I hate sounding like a broken record. Yet here I am again calling this time the New York Times. Well blog on its reporting of, yes, you guessed it, another cancer study. Was published in the journal Cancer. And is, of course, behind a paywall. And the abstract, as always, tells me very little. So I did a little guessing and left this comment on the blog:. We'll see if i...

Healthcare, etc.: Healing medicine's moral injuries and spiritual violations
http://evimedgroup.blogspot.com/2013/03/healing-medicines-moral-injuries-and.html
Thursday, March 14, 2013. Healing medicine's moral injuries and spiritual violations. This, from the On Being blog. Dr Shay has his own name for the thing the clinical definition of PTSD leaves out. He calls it “moral injury” — and the term is catching on with both the VA and the Department of Defense. 8220;Whether it breaks the bone or not,” he says, “that wound is the uncomplicated — or primary — injury. And a parallel quote from Abe Verghese's. As I was commenting on the Facebook page of On Being.

http://evimedgroup.blogspot.com/2012/09/acogs-dysmenorrhea-faqs-evidence-of.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2012. ACOG's dysmenorrhea FAQs: Evidence of propaganda? I have been looking up information on endometriosis for a friend of mine, and came upon this. From the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:. Why, you ask, do these ACOG FAQs on dysmenorrhea remind me of my schooling in the old country? Well, glad you asked. Check out this gem, for example:. That's it. No follow-up questions? Wait, isn't that a surgical procedure? Important to the patient? You may think that all...

Monday, June 25, 2012. Thank you for your support. A few moths ago I quietly put a "Donate" button in the right margin of my blog. It was an experiment to see what it can do just by sitting there.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. The slow work of healing. I just finished reading " Tattoos on the Heart. By Gregory Boyle. I came to it partly via Krista Tippett. S conversation with him. Last summer at the Chautauqua Institute, and partly through other sources. It is a far-ranging account of his work over the last 20 years with the members of toughest Latino gangs in LA through his non-profit Homeboy Industries. What does a book like this have to do with healthcare? Now, I am not Christian or even particularl...

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Medicine as the trolley problem. Are you familiar with the trolley problem. It is an ethics dilemma first formulated by the great Philippa Foot. Most people when asked respond that yes, he should throw the switch and sacrifice 1 life to save 5. After all, the net benefit is n=4. Most people when faced with this formulation say an emphatic "no." This is somehow puzzling, since the net benefit is the same, n=4, as in the original Foot formulation. Payers levy financial penalties o...
