How direct primary care saved my career and my life
In late 2017, I was standing in the hallway between two different departments in a hospital where I was rounding on a particularly busy day.

Shelf-Stable Breast Milk Powder: Interview with Dr. Vansh Langer, CEO at BBy
BBy, a medtech company based in New York, has developed a spray drying method that hospitals can use to process human breast milk into a shelf-stable powder. Human breast milk is an incredibly important source of nutrition for neonates in intensive care units (NICUs). At present, human donor milk is frozen and must be defrosted prior to use in such facilities. This is highly labor intensive for staff and is very wasteful, as excess defrosted milk must be thrown away and large freezers use a lot of electricity. The spray drying technology developed by BBy converts human breast milk into a shelf-stable dry powder that can...

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...
