Shielding physicians: the untold story of legal preparedness
Federal and state regulators have intensified the scrutiny of physicians in recent years in response to mounting overdose rates and the corresponding rise in mortality. Many in health care see this as a good thing. They would be wrong. Look no further than the many physicians who were acquitted or exonerated after being charged with

CHIME23 – What ’ s a Problem, Technology, Opportunity, or Issue Not Enough People are Talking About?
The world of health IT is ever-changing. One moment a problem is unsolvable, the next a new technology has been created and solves the problem. One moment no one is talking about something, the next it is the hottest topic of the year. Or reversely, one moment we’re all talking about one topic, and the next we’ve left that topic in the dust as we all moved on to something new. Sometimes we even get hyper-focused on one topic, forgetting to expand our vision to the many technicalities that are needed to properly support the topic. But just like the other scenarios, that can change on the flip of a coin where all...

Busting a myth
A common right wing trope is that illegal drugs are coming across the southern border, carried by illegal immigrants. You may even have seen the political ad featuring people climbing a wall wearing backpacks, implying that they were what are called " drug mules. " The whole thing was, of course, faked. I have written here before that this is not true, that is not how illicit drugs come into the country, butnow there is a very rigorous study proving it. Unfortunately, unless you have institutional access, you can only read the abstract, which is not very informative. (NBER used to be open access, this is apparently a new p...

25th Amendment Still Not the Right Response to a Mentally Ill Trump
By MIKE MAGEE
On May 16, 2017 New York Times conservative columnist, Russ Douthat, wrote “The 25th Amendment Solution for Removing Trump.”
That column was the starting point for a Spring course I taught on the 25th Amendment at the President’s College in Hartford, CT. I will not summarize the entire course here, but would like to emphasize four points:
The American public was adequately warned (now 7 years ago) of the risk that Trump represented to our nation and our democracy.
Douthat’s piece triggered a journalistic debate which I summarize below with four slides drawn from my lectures.

Does the legal system harm psychiatric patients?
It is a typical day on the inpatient unit. A patient is refusing medication, and I want to take her to court to compel her to take medication while her lawyer is arguing for her right to refuse. Me: “She’s clearly psychotic. She has lost her family, and she has no place to live… all

The US needs a Chief Patient Officer
By KAT McDAVITT and LISA BARI
Regulations are created by well-intentioned government employees who, understandably, focus on the loudest voices they hear. The loudest voices tend to be from organizations — vendors, associations, large corporations — that have the internal and external resources needed to access the federal government, navigate the 80,000-employee Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and ensure that the perspectives of their employers and members are heard.
Patients do not have the resources to hire lobbyists or high-profile legal teams, nor do they have a large and well-funded tra...

3 Things Transhumanism Can Give To Healthcare
Imagine a future where aging is not a fate but a solvable puzzle, reshaping the very fabric of medical science. This is what transhumanism aims for. Although this goal is surely too ambitious, we might learn a thing or two from this futuristic movement.
What is transhumanism?
Transhumanism is the position that humans should be permitted to use technology to modify and enhance human cognition and bodily function, expanding abilities and capacities beyond current biological constraints.
It is a philosophical and social movement, with not only technological aspirations. It is also an approach to exp...
