The harm of the “ just do it ” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression
“There’s no such thing as postpartum depression.” These were the unsolicited words from my obstetrician in the third trimester of my first pregnancy. “It’s only sleep deprivation,” she explained.

But as the patient in that interaction, a pregnant woman, I Read more… The harm of the “just do it” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Republican Misbehavior Promoted Health Professional Activism
By MIKE MAGEE If you wanted to create a motto for the summer of 2023 – one that would stand the test of time from the medical exam room of Ohio to the gilded bathroom of Mar-a-lago – it would have to be Jack Smith’s “Facts matter!” If that is true on a national scale, it is equally true in states across the nation where doctors increasingly are coming out from behind a self-imposed clinical curtain and going public. As reported in ProPublica last week, “Doctors who previously never mixed work with politics are jumping into the abortion debate by lobbying state lawmakers, campaigning, forming polit...

… you are feeling sleepy …
Hypnosis could be one of the least respected yet most effective self-help pain reduction strategies we know of. Surprised? You shouldn’t be! Hypnosis has such a lot of baggage, most of it completely unrelated to the way it is used in the clinic. Once we dig just a little more deeply into how it can be used and the effects it has on a person’s pain (and as shown in fMRI studies and experimental studies) we can see that there are some things our mind can do that are literally mind-boggling! What is hypnosis? Simply put it’s a state of focused attention that allows us to be open to suggestions for changes...

In An Ironic Twist, the AMA Seeks Alternatives to the Residency Matching Program
Jeffrey A. SingerLast weekend the American Medical Association House of Delegates passed a  resolution tacitly claiming that the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) is likely anti ‐​competitive and a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The resolution concluded:RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association study alternatives to the current residency and fellowship Match process which would be less restrictive on free market competition for applicants. (Directive to Take Action)This is quite surprising, given that the AMA was a  co‐​defendant, along with the Association of American Medical Col...
