Hospice is not an issue anyone really wants to take a full look at, that is unless you or a family member are impacted. Budget cuts are already making things difficult in this area, so sad we have to resort to continued legal actions to allow the funds needed to care for seniors who need the care...
Dr. Doug Farrago with his input on what's happening in Massachusetts with their healthcare system. Long and short of all of this, is who's going to pay the bill? I feature Dr. Farrago under my "Need a Laugh" section as he produces new videos, I like his humor and unique...
The insurance executives have taken the medical decisions and good medical care out control of clinicians, pretty simple. Have you had a surgical procedure lately? I had one surgeon recently tell me of procedures lined up by the hour, seven knees in seven hours, now does that make sense? ...
This could be great news as how many times do medical records need to be anonymized for research, a lot. We all remember the case with the NHS and their mistake made a few months back with the records. This will be nice too if it is open source and I hope they send the software over...

The practice wrote and went directly to the governor’s office. Around 10- 15k stand to lose their primary care providers if this happens. The doctors stated it was an “economical” decision, and with the recent “economical” decisions in the drug industry, those may not always be the best. ...
Amazing how this went on for so long and the living doctors have problems getting items approved. At any rate, new procedures are being activated, perhaps such as moving an ID number and name to the “inactive” listing. This is something a query could have caught in a data base if programmed...
This is a very big issue for Family Practice physicians. These are not the days of a granted income of at least 150k for physicians. Shocked, you might be, but with dwindling incomes from cuts from insurance companies with contracts and the up and coming Medicare cuts, there...
If you are senior and reading this, now is the time to voice your opinion as well. The AMA has a strong campaign in place and the proposed Medicare cuts stand to limit your access to physicians if this takes place. Call or write your congress person to make a difference. Physicians...
