You need to be part of a patient’s care team, using that data to further their care. Any other access is a violation. Med students get a little grey area on this because their job is to absorb as much info as possible without necessarily pr

Food is priced to existing overhead; delivery is added to that. Whether or not you walk in the door doesn’t shift their fixed costs, and the marginal cost of the busboy cleaning one more table is trivial.

No. Anyone internal to the company viewing medical data without an explicit need is in violation of hipaa. But I don’t think that’s what the poster was saying.

No, they don’t. Most patients get admitted under a DRG, which is a lump sum payment. It’s true that doesn’t apply to every patient, but enough of them that doctors habits aren’t going to be shaped by the minority. For that matter, you can c

I try to preempt the frustration by saying that we each take our own history for the purpose of making sure no details are missed, but rest assured, I’ve gotten the overview from your other docs. I then make sure to complete a sentence for

Stretching on nonworkout days is great for increasing mobility, done incrementally and carefully, since one of the major proprioceptive mechanisms that protect joints from injury respond to velocity of movement, not just total force applied

It’s undervascularized. It doesn’t fail so much as the normal process of microtrauma-and-repair that strengthens muscles is mostly just microtrauma in tendons. It was once thought he damage was inflammatory, but histological studies have sh

Does it even have to be about the “average” person? What percentage of the population has ever been exposed to real autopilot systems? For all the rest, sci-fi autopilot is the only reference point. A person doesn’t have to be particularl

There’s a meaningful difference between “it was 20-30m for them to arrive” and the previous post’s “hours.” Almost an order of magnitude’s difference. And that’s a medically meaningful difference. 20m response time, 45m to the hospital, you

Because, as was hashed out in court on exactly that question: the purpose of speed enforcement is to reduce speeding, not generate ticket revenue. If making people aware that they’re going to get caught speeding -makes them slow down- then

I would wholeheartedly endorse legislation against anti-vax garbage in its more extreme forms. That is not because I fear it is true.

I don’t agree with you, but I am upvoting you because you are contributing meaningfully to the conversation with earnest discussion and a valid, if IMO incorrect, viewpoint. I am disheartened to see your post greying out.

This was a very thoughtful and well-reasoned criticism of a political stance I generally sympathize with. Kudos.

Actually, it’s “we suspect you may have broken the law, so we’ll break the law.” A distinction no one seems to be hammering on, but that I think makes what they did much, much worse.

Some big firms will do this level of basic legal assistance for small start ups as part of their pro bono program. I believe Bingham McCutchen does, for one, though I don’t know how you apply.

You posted this two hours after I replied with a list of google results showing you’re two decades out of date. Now it’s -clear- you’re being disingenuous, but for the life of me I cannot fathom why.

I agreed with the closing of the article, that it tasted like dessert - the most chocolate shake-like of protein drinks. I consider that a negative, though, as it packs in the damned calories accordingly. If I’m taking my protein in supplem

That’s actually a problem. When I myself see a doc, I make a point of being as colloquial about it as possible. Part of our training is about taking what people say and converting it into technical symptoms; when people start to “communicat

Most countries with free healthcare do have woefully underpaid doctors. The NHS has been cutting back aggressively on doc salaries for years, letting them fall well behind inflation. The only thing I can say in their defense is that at leas

The AMA has actually been lobbying quite strongly to expand the number of residency spots. Doctors salaries are generally pushed from the top down by Medicare and not by general supply-and-demand principles. So these shortages don’t lead to
