Important differences between Democrats and Republicans were revealed recently by Ezra Klein in The New York Times (see here). Mr. Klein was laser-focused as he encapsulated the current Democratic party (see below). Democrats according to Klein Democrats are united in their belief that the government can, and should, act on […]
You okay with this? I’m not! Health care costs have zoomed into the stratosphere. And what the government pays for Medicare and Medicaid ultimately comes from the pockets of us taxpayers. As I have argued here before (click here to see), increasing government involvement surely has been a major factor […]
Wild pharmacy prices: Buyer beware of what you pay for your medications. A few hours ago, I bought some eye-drops at my local CVS pharmacy. The price for the drops, which contain two active ingredients, was $48.23 when using my Medicare Part D insurance (I won’t mention the insurer, because […]
Vaccinations − and Politics? Stick with science! Vaccination saves lives. I earlier posted on this site two essays on the importance of vaccinations in preventing, or attenuating, serious diseases. My first essay focused on Benjamin Franklin’s bitter regret that he had not “inoculated” his four-year-old son who died of small […]

After I posted my physician burnout report (see that here), someone sent me the program of the American Conference on Physician Health that was held just days earlier (October 11-13) in Palm Desert, California. (For more resources on doctor burnout click here.) This was the […]
Is your doctor burned out? Probably. According to a recent “Physician Burnout and Wellness” survey conducted by Medical Economics, two out of every three physicians (68%), are feeling burned out. Should you care? As a patient, absolutely. Read on. “I feel a loss of empathy and compassion for my patients,” […]
Lose weight and become healthier for $1,350/month? Yep, you can do it, at least according to the preliminary results reported yesterday by Novo Nordisk on its drug, Wegovy, a drug that sets users back over a grand per month (Novo Nordisk funded the research study that has not yet been […]
Are you aware of the scary world of dietary supplements? I am, and I still ingest a good number of them, as I’ve mentioned here earlier (See here). Am I nuts? Maybe. As you know, dietary supplements can be purchased “over the counter” with no apparent restrictions. Although the packaging […]
