How dementia and COVID-19 robbed the baby doll of love
When I started visiting patients in nursing homes, a good many of them had some degree of dementia. In its earliest form, a person with dementia could recall what they were doing when they found out about 9/11, or when Kennedy was shot, or when Pearl Harbor was bombed in the Second World War. However,

The Top 10 Health Chatbots
This study from March 2023 reports how an app developed to help patients’ bowel preparation can increase compliance and thus, the number of successful colonoscopies.
In some cases, health chatbots are also able to connect patients with clinicians for diagnosis or treatment, but that is one step further down the line. The general idea is that in the future, these talking or texting smart algorithms might become the first contact point for primary care. Patients will not get in touch with physicians or nurses or any medical professional with every one of their health questions but will turn to chatbots first. If th...

The corporatization of medicine: Part two
2016 was in fact the first year in which fewer than half of
physicians had an ownership stake in their practice, based on a survey by the
American Medical Association.[i] The
pace of acquisition of practices by hospitals and health systems during this
period was astonishing. From 2014-2018, just four years, corporate ownership of
practices increased from 24.1% to 45.6% of all physicians in a nationally representative
sample. After selling out, physicians actually experienced a reduction in their
income.[ii]The evidence that increasing concentration of medical
services is associated with higher prices is consistent and exte...

Mothematics – Some moth stats
A quick blog post as I approach my fifth anniversary of garden mothing. That’s six summers of lighting up! You’ll recall how it started.
I have recorded 457 species of moth in my garden as of 19th July 2023. Hopefully, there will be a few more this season. I have photographs of most of those species, with the exception of the marvellous Hornet Clearwing moth which I saw but didn’t net. I have also seen and recorded 37 other species on campsites, nature reserves and in holiday house gardens (New Forest, Dorset, Anglesey).
My first season began late, 24th July 2018 and I didn’t keep proper logs, but s...
