Some of the duties will be outsourced, but under the control of a local office, and portions of this provision will need an act of Congress, so I might guess now’s the time, or after the election maybe to tackle this issue. I would also like to see labels on every product stating the city, origin...
This story about Walgreens illustrates a little bit of both. After the economy and Wall Street news of the last couple of weeks, we should know now about how programmers set algorithms to select, process and deliver data. Need a refresher, you can check here relative to Wall Street out coding...

One more survey, do we really need to spend this money, I think we have a pretty good idea here that it is not many. My personal opinion here would be to spend the money and enable and educate folks on how this can be done, rather than to see how many can’t, it’s an obvious. If the money...
A nice word of thanks to Mary Pat Whaley for adding the information about the links to where the $4.00 generic drugs can be found easily at the Medical Quack. I put the resources on the site to make it simple so one does not have to navigate each site individually and save some clicks and time...

I spent a little time looking around today and there are many "red stars" on this page, which indicate a safety alert from the FDA. Safety alerts come in all shapes and sizes and a red start does not mean to stop taking medications by any means, just an awareness to help both the clinicians...
There seems to be a flurry of lawsuits of late, related to unknown or somewhat known psychological side effects from selected pharma products, and this is one more on the way. I am sure there’s much more research to go on, but how many of the products have these effects and what percentage of patients...
Good news to help some of the financially strapped hospitals here in California, but how much will each one actually see, as 11.8 million among 480 hospitals is not a huge chunk of change. In the meantime though, the current woes for WellPoint continue over stiffer penalties. One report from last...
Will we ever get to the bottom of this with anyone accepting the blame, and much less perhaps offer any type of apology? The sad fact of the matter is that the element of "trust" is nowhere to be mentioned ...is there a price for "cheaper" solutions...you bet and this is one sad example...
