The doctor is out?

Why physicians are leaving their practices to pursue other careers…

Here is the quote of the day: “With the [enforcement] of EHRs, I had to spend more time as a scribe. One night a child I was treating had a seizure and I couldn’t get the medicine to enable them to breathe because their chart wasn’t in the system yet. This kid was fixing to die and I, the doctor, couldn’t get the medicine. It was demoralizing.” The profession has allowed non-physicians to control the practice of medicine. This is the result. Too many physicians are employed by large firms and hospital groups which generates dissatisfaction with their profession. Unless things change, expect more of the same. ~ Rosemary Stein, MD

“After 20 years, I quit medicine and none of my colleagues were surprised. In fact, they all said they wish they could do the same.”

The news that New York University will offer free tuition to all its medical school students, in the hope of encouraging more doctors to choose lower-paying specialties, offered hope to those wishing to pursue a career in the field.

However, becoming a doctor remains one of the most challenging career paths you can embark upon. It requires extensive (and expensive) schooling followed by intensive residencies before you’re fully on your feet. The idea, generally, is that all the hard work will pay off not only financially, but also in terms of job satisfaction and work-life balance; then there’s the immeasurable personal benefits of helping people, and possibly even saving lives. In terms of both nobility and prestige, few occupations rank as high. Continue reading →

“Normal” Urine Color: 50 Shades of Yellow

Your urine color reflects what you eat and drink, and even the medications you take. But it’s a red alert for any shade of red, black, or brown, especially when accompanied by other symptoms.

Pretty much everyone knows his or her normal urine color (or subtle range of urine colors). If the shade changes a great deal, however, we can become a little alarmed.

But hold on. While urine color is a centuries-old diagnostic tool, many shades of yellow can be perfectly normal, even if they vary from nearly colorless to dark yellow. Continue reading →

Obesity and breast cancer

Scientists explain how being overweight makes breast cancer cells more aggressive

Researchers from Helmholtz Zentrum München, Technische Universität München (TUM), and Heidelberg University Hospital carried out a study on how extra weight makes breast cancer cells more aggressive. Using human tissue from breast cancer metastases, the researchers found that the enzyme known as ACC1 (acetyl-CoA-carboxylase 1) — a key component of fatty acid synthesis — is inhibited by high levels of cytokines. They found that obesity causes the release of cytokines into the bloodstream that affect the metabolism of breast cancer cells, which in turn make them more aggressive. Continue reading →

NOTE: Ignore the dates and the general commentary (at least the reference to Obama and/or Ready Teddy) – pay attention to the NEED for the attached pdf. ~ Ed.

screwedbluecrossedandtatooed_thumbAugust 2, 2009 – With all of the ruckus regarding the Obama-Care (he really doesn’t) Bill, or the Kennedy-Legacy HellCare Bill, currently being discussed all over the nation, some, bright individual realized that amongst the first things each and everyone of us should do, is to require our medical Practioners (or is it ‘Practicers‘?) to sign a contract, which will indemnify said doctor for all harm, which comes our way due to his/her diagnosis and prescriptions administered.
