‘ Women ’ s pain ’ – not just ‘ women ’ s pain ’
Women really do get a rough deal when it comes to pain. We live with the myth that because women experience pain in childbirth and (often) with periods of course women can ‘deal with it.’ Until recently women and female animals haven’t been included in pain research, and guess what? Women and female animals don’t have the same biological system for processing nociception. Men are told ‘don’t be a girl’ about their pain. Women are told they ‘look too good’ to be experiencing pain. Women don’t get taken seriously when they ask for help with their pain &#...

A big data COVID train wreck
BY ANISH KOKA If there was any doubt the academic research enterprise is completely broken, we have an absolute train wreck of a study in one of the many specialty journals of the Journal of the American Medical Association — JAMA Health. I had no idea the journal even existed until today, but I now know to approach the words printed in this journal to the words printed in supermarket tabloids. You should too! The paper that was brought to my attention is one that purports to examine the deleterious health effects of Long COVID. A sizable group of intellectuals who are still socially distancing and wearing n95s ...

It serves 80,000 people and it’s the only one within 10,000 square miles. Add to the scenario a global pandemic that is steadily ravaging the nation’s healthcare system. On October...

OK, trying more AI to write this
by MATTHEW HOLT In the far oft halcyon days of last month, I used an AI system from Lex.Page  to write something about digital health. In the past few days the world has gone nuts about a new AI author called ChatGPT. So I tought I would compare and contrast. Last month Lex.page was asked about Digital Health and it said Digital Health is one of the most rapidly growing and important sectors in health care today. It is a broad term that encompasses the use of technology to improve health and health care. Today I asked ChatGPT the same thing. In fact I just wrote “Digital Health” as the Q and this...

These 8 Countries Could Put Together The World ’ s Most Advanced Healthcare System

But as we will see, with having focus and working for the right goals, it is possible to fully transform a country and its healthcare in just a few decades. Can we, dreaming freely, come up with the perfect system? There are so many good examples all over the...
