Orecchiette with Basil Pesto, Fennel & Sausage
As the weather turns towards winter, the basil plant on my windowsill begins to worry me. Sure, it has sun in that spot, but less and less with each day, and eventually not enough to keep it alive when cold winds pummel the adjacent glass. Time to harvest what basil remains before it’s lost. I had just enough basil for a batch of pesto, but no pine nuts. What I did have was a tiny jar of walnuts in my freezer – exactly the amount I needed! So I made a batch of pesto using my recipe for basil pesto, substituting walnuts for pine nuts.
I also had about 2 cups of homemade chicken broth in the freezer. So I sco...

Is Care Navigation Healthcare ’s Next ‘Gold Mine’? Quantum Health’s Move to Win Over Larger Employers
BY JESSICA DaMASSA, WTF HEALTH
One-to-watch as a potential health tech IPO this year is care navigator Quantum Health, and I’m talking to CEO Zane Burke about both their breaking new product launch AND the key differences between Quantum and the increasingly competitive field of other employer benefits advocacy-based businesses like Accolade, Rightway, and Transcarent.
Private equity backed, two-decades old, and EBITA positive, Zane says Quantum Health is delivering an ROI of “over two-and-a-half to one” to its client roster of 450 top large, self-insured employers and saving more than 14% on all healthcare co...

Don ’t Forget To Ask The Patient
Let the young know they will never find a more interesting, more instructive book than the patient himself.
Giorgio Baglivi
It was nearly two decades ago that I knelt on the floor before Sammy in the Santa Clara County Sheriffs booking facility. I remember him so vividly that it’s hard to believe so much time has passed. There was nothing exceptional about him. Handcuffed to the waiting area bench, he looked very much like you might expect a man high on drugs, being booked for petty larceny, might look.
Sammy felt like his heart was racing and, given his drug history, the officer thought that he needed a once-over ...

The Future of Radiology And Artificial Intelligence
What if an algorithm could tell you whether you have cancer based on your CT scan or mammography exam? While I am confident that radiologists’ creative work will be necessary in the future to solve complex issues and supervise diagnostic processes, A.I. will definitely become part of their daily routine in diagnosing simpler cases and taking over repetitive tasks. So rather than getting threatened by it, we should familiarise ourselves with how it could help change the course of radiology for the better.
Radiologists who use A.I. will replace those who don’t
There is a lot of hype and plenty of fear around ar...

After meeting with a care manager at the University of Utah ' s COVID Long Hauler clinic, I gained some new information that explained what I ' ve been going through this year.

Bookwork Entries 3-4
These tech-heavy entries focus on the nuts& bolts of hosting a blog. It ' s not exciting reading, but I needed to resolve this problem if I wanted full focus moving forward. Sometimes our most passionate goals require us to sludge through drudgery before we can attain what we seek. In this case, I want to host my blog on my home server, but have been putting off the grunt work because it ' s frightfully boring.This is a journal I am writing on my Kobo Elipsa eReader.

Iatrogenic disinformation
The Covid pandemic brought nuts with M.D. degrees out of the woodwork. Of course they were always around -- Viz. Mehmet Oz, who had a popular TV show he used to spread medical disinformation for years. Many physicians signed a petition to have has medical license pulled, or for Columbia to fire him, but neither happened. Now Richard Baron and Yul Ejnes in NEJM discuss the problem of how licensing boards should respond to physicians who spread disinformation, notably by social media since most of them don ' t have a TV show. (Of course, some of them worked for the Trump Administration and currently work for Ron DeSantis, a ...

How to Convince a Older Adult with Incontinence to Wear Adult Diapers
Photo credit Mathias Konrath
Incontinence is a condition that is often difficult for a person to accept and deal with. Many seniors try to ignore this new development and carry on with their lives, but a head-in-the-sand approach usually draws more attention to the problem. There are ways to encourage a loved one to address this issue, but they require patience, understanding and a commitment to upholding your loved one’s dignity.
Pro Tip: Strike the Word Diaper from Your Vocabulary
“My parent won’t wear adult diapers and it drives me nuts!”

Wednesday Bible Study: What are you, a wise guy?
Ch. 3 ends with a famous little story, but if you bother to think about it for a second it ' s completely ridiculous. The first thing that happens is that Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gives his daughter to Solomon Riiiiiigggght. I happened to read an article in the new Scientific American about archaeology in Jerusalem. It ' s a problem because originally, actually until fairly recently, diggers set out to prove the foregone conclusion that the Bible stories are true. Another problem is that it ' s hard to dig anywhere without offending somebody. Anyway, the current scholarly consensus is that at the time t...
