Solving Night Terrors Lickety-split
We’ve come upon a great solution for night terrors in my house (OK, my wife actually came up with it :) that worked with our son and thousands of others. If you’ve ever run in to this with your child, you’ve probably noticed that your kids are stuck in a state of unfamiliarity, making it not only scary for them, but for you as well.
One night when this was happening to our son, it occurred to Cheryl (whom may of you have chatted with in the comments – she’s ‘MsGreene’) that the issue may be related to potty training. The two often occur in toddlers at around the same age, there was...

Early intervention providers: Stop demanding more payment. Demand more freedom.
It is budget negotiation season in New York State, and you can tell this by the long line of elected municipal leaders and other special interests who get invited into budget hearings to beg for more funding.People who watch the process closely call this the 'tin cup brigade' and that is an apt description of the process even if it does ruffle the feathers of those in line. Leading the line are the Counties and other municipalities who are forced to endure the unfunded mandates passed onto them by the State. A prime example is the New York State Early Intervention Program.Funding the early intervention program ...

The War on Death
By SAURABH JHA, MD
Thomas Hobbes described life as pitifully “nasty, brutish, and short.” Thanks to the free market and the state, life is no longer a Hobbesian nightmare. But death has become nasty, brutish, and long.
Surgeon and writer, Atul Gawande, explores the medicalization of ageing and death in Being Mortal. Gawande points to a glaring deficiency in medical education. Taught to save lives and fight death, doctors don’t bow out gracefully and say enough is enough. We’re not taught about dying. We’re taught about not dying.
In our lexicon, life is a constant war against the Grim Reaper. We say inactivity ...

Why Meaningful Use Has to Go
By MARGALIT GUR ARIE
We don’t win anymore in health care. After repeatedly drilling in our heads that America’s sick care system is a disaster, that those who care for the sick are incompetent and stupid, and that the sick themselves are losers, Meaningful Use was advertised as the means by which technology will make health care great again. The program has been in place for 5 years and the great promise of Meaningful Use is just around the same corner it was back in 2011. The only measurable changes from the pre Meaningful Use era are the billions of dollars subtracted from our treasury and the minutes subtracted from...

Best of 2015: Filming in the ER: A Patient Perspective
To close out another fabulous year we are going to be re-running some of our favorite posts from this year. Today we start with a post from one of the original Disruptive Women in Health Care bloggers, Glenna Crooks. She wrote this engaging and informative post back in January.
Several years ago, chest pains woke me from a sound sleep at 2 AM.
I knew it might be a heart attack.
I decided against seeking care.
I had my reasons: far too many stories and far too many IOM reports about what happens in hospitals.
If death was to come, I preferred to be at home rather than in an uncompassionate, error-prone, care-mismanaged, ex...

Indiana Baby Dies in His Sleep Days After Receiving 6 Vaccine Doses
Conclusion
When other families were celebrating Halloween festivities, Michael’s parents were attending his funeral. He was buried on October 30, 2015.
If you've never learned about vaccine reactions before, this may be a lot of information to take in, but it is crucial to know. Our hearts go out to these children and their families. Please research what is in any vaccine you plan to allow yourself or your child to receive.
Spend the time learning what you will do if your child suffers a vaccine injury. Spend time getting a copy of your child’s medical records and viewing the vaccines your child has already recei...

5 Year Old New Jersey Girl Died from the MMR Vaccine, Holly’s Law Created
Conclusion
We leave you with words from Robin:
“My family and I hope that Holly’s story will make a difference and help you realize that you must be aware of the risks of vaccinations, just as you make yourself aware of the risks of any medical procedure.
We hope to make change, and one very important improvement must be that the pediatricians acknowledge that there are vaccine reactions, that moderate to serious and even fatal vaccine reactions do exist and occur at least 100 times more than is reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
We are still very disappointed and disgusted with the actio...

Why I am a Crusader in the Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Drug Movement
Conclusion
The doctors gave my daughter drugs they knew would cause her kidneys to stop working. They gave her these drugs in spite of both of us telling them on a day-to-day basis not to give them.
The hospital covered it up. The hospital refused to give us the incident report. The hospital refused to give us a copy of the notes from the meeting with the ethics committee.
The hospital denied my daughter’s right to make her own decisions. The hospital tried to deny me from being my daughter's advocate. The hospital administrator threatened to charge me with practicing medicine without a license. The CEO refused to talk t...

Nickson Would be Celebrating Life if it Weren’t for Vaccines
Conclusion
Parents need to be able to choose what goes into their child’s body, especially when their babies are not born full-term or have any underlying health problems at birth. When a product such as a vaccine is injected into a child, known to be associated with severe risks, including death, there should be a standard protocol in place for these families to get needed support when the risks outweigh the benefits. No one can predict how a vaccine will negatively affect a person.
Lindsey and other families going through this, suffering the loss of a child likely caused by the vaccine(s) given to them, when no other p...
