AMA Touts Apples ‐to‐Oranges Study in its Fight to Preserve the Medical Cartel
This study supports the evidence that use of NPs can improve access to primary care with similar quality and cost of care.The VHA emergency medicine study that the AMA is touting makes no case against NPs and FNPs independently providing primary care. However, its findings do suggest that hospitals should prefer board ‐certified ENPs to FNPs when staffing their emergency departments with non‐physicians.Spencer Pratt is a Research Associate in the Department of Health Policy Studies (Source: Cato-at-liberty)

With RSV, it ’ s time for primary care to step up to the plate
Every pediatrician is familiar with this endemic seasonal virus, expecting to see several cases in their office during the winter months and maybe even admit the occasional one for inpatient care. Even amongst the latter, most do well and recover without incident, though the stay can be prolonged. However, the respiratory syncytial virus — when

Give Kids a Healthy Itch
by KIM BELLARD
Someday I’ll probably write about Neuralink, but these days I don’t feel like giving Elon Musk any extra publicity. I also had the notion to take OpenAI’s newly announced ChatGPT down a rabbit hole about U.S. healthcare, just to see where it would go, but Mr. Musk has his fingerprints on that organization too. Then I saw something worth celebrating: Scratch has hit 100 million users worldwide.
What’s that? You’re not familiar with Scratch? Well, me neither, until last week. Now that I know a little about it, I kind of feel how I felt when I first discovered TikTok, found out about Roblo...

Aesthetics and the physician ’ s eye
The fall sunlight calls my eye to notice little things: the veins on a yellowing maple leaf. The askew feather on a chicken’s wing. The faintest breeze tricking the pond into patterned sin waves around a lone white duck. What do we owe this world but our ability to parse and observe, to interpret, to

December 2022: Which is Best? Manual or Drill for IO Access in Neonates
Intraosseous (IO) vascular access use in children began in the 1940s, but the practice was abandoned when intravenous catheters were invented. A resurgence of interest in IO access began decades later, and the procedure was first added to the Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines in 1986. Intraosseous access has now become the preferred access method over central line placement and for peripheral IV access that takes longer than 30 seconds.Initially, manual intraosseous needles were used for neonatal resuscitations because they were the only tools available. Once we learned the skill, manual IO needles served their pu...

The Top 10 Digital Health Stories Of 2022
Edging towards the end of the year, it is time for a summary of how digital health progressed in 2022. It is easy to get lost in the noise – I myself shared well over a thousand articles, studies and news items between January and the end of November 2022. Thus, just like in 2021, 2020 (and so on), I picked the 10 topics I believe will have the most significance in the future of healthcare.
1. The Rise Of Digital Therapeutics (DTx)
Unlike a number of unsubstantial hypes (NFTs, Metaverse to name a few), we see DTx as a meaningful trend that has the capacity to bring major short-term improvements in personalised ...

Protecting children from bad medical care
