Patients Rarely Told of Medication Errors in the Hospital
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
According to an article in the January 2013 issue of Critical Care Medicine, patients and their families are rarely told when there is a medication error in the hospital. Eight hundred and forty thousand voluntarily reported medication errors from 537 US hospitals over 6 years were evaluated. You can just imagine how many errors there were that went...

Personal Medical Debt is on the Rise
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Linking health care to a volatile job market puts health care services at risk. There was a 7% rise in medical debt from 2007-09. Californians are living on a very thin margin because their most of their medical debt is under $2000. More than 50% of their plans are high deductible, which puts additional strain on their budgets. Even Medi-Cal enrolees...

submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013

Physicians Are Prescribing Non-traditional Medicines More Often
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
More than a third of Americans are now using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and about one in thirty physicians is making a referral for CAM services.

Thirty four...
Physicians Prefer Big Pharma Medical Education
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
While physicians realize medical industry funding of continuing medical education credits leads to bias, they continue to prefer this to paying higher fees for independent educational events. Big Pharma and device companies sponsor 60% of the billion dollar CME industry! This shows a serious lack of concern on the part of MDs in obtaining information...

submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
The Public Library of Science no longer will publish information funded by the tobacco industry because they have only one purpose...to sell tobacco. They believe their "scientific" papers are marred by conflicts of interest.
Positive Attitude: Does it Matter?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
What we think is powerful medicine and it can be positive or negative. The importance noticing before judging is critical; how life feels is often neglected. Being grateful for what we have rather than what we don't is wise.

Preventable Deaths Due to Treatable Conditions in the US
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013

Preventable Medical Mistakes
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
The Institute of Medicine calculates that there are 50-100,000 unnecessary deaths in the US every year. This number is likely much higher because of under-reporting. Personalized health care and working with causes rather than suppressing symptoms. We also need to work together...integratively.

We also know that living a healthy lifestyle is the treatment of choice for inflammation. Incorporating most healthy lifestyle factors into our daily routine is not mysterious—we know what to do. We realize...

Preventive Medicine Saves Money but Early Detection May Not
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Seventy five percent of health care spending is for preventable chronic diseases. If you can prevent these diseases from occurring, it stands to reason that it will cost far less to deal with them. However, there is massive confusion about what preventive medicine is. What it is not is early detection.
Preventive medicine requires living a healthy...
