Treating Disease Is No Substitute for Caring for the Ill
A good essay from Wall Street Journal:
Treating Disease Is No Substitute for Caring for the Ill
America’s health-care system focuses on curing acute problems but does far too little to support patients with chronic maladies

M3 wanting to go into neurology but not 100% sure
I'm an M3 about 80% sure about neurology. I was wondering if the seasoned veterans on this forum could help me make sure it's right for me (specifically -- are the cons serious enough that I should consider a different field?)
Pros:
-My favorite rotation
-Did neuroscience in undergrad and loved it
-Love the research in neurology, I think there's gonna be a lot of up and coming stuff in the next two decades. Diseases like Alzheimer's interest me from a research perspective (but not a...

MSTP student interested in Neurology, doubts due to salary

One aspect that really motivates me is the lack of physicians with similar interests, since most will focus on the big neuro diseases/injuries, such as TBI, strokes, parkinson's, alzheimers. When there is a whole population whos needs are being unmet....

Scientific data offer
Are you conducting research in the field of medical sciences? You do not have enough people to reach the target pool of patients? Do you want to increase the control sample? You've come to the right place! I offer detailed (and fully anonymous) scientific data of thousands of patients (of course, each patient gave written permission to share). The data is very detailed, each patient has a described disease entity (diabetes, depression, Alzheimer's disease, degenerative diseases, cancers and...
