The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
The objective most consistent with recent operations is to conquer Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kherson, with a view to their eventual annexation and Russification. But not only are they some way from achieving that (w ith much of Donetsk still in Ukrainian hands and the Russia position in Kherson highly contested) it would also require an explicit Ukrainian surrender for it to serve as the basis for a declaration of victory. That will not be forthcoming.-----https://www.afr.com/world/europe/how-britain-giggled-its-way-into-crisis-20220710-p5b0giHow Britain giggled its way into crisisBoris Johnson has exposed the costs of Britain...

Encouraging Signals from the Justice Department on Safe Consumption Sites
Jeffrey A. SingerThe Associated Pressreports the U.S. Department of Justice announced it is “evaluating supervised consumption sites, including discussions with state and local regulators about appropriate guardrails for such sites, as part of an overall approach to harm reduction and public safety.” This is welcome news.As I explained in a 2019Cato Policy Analysis, safe consumption sites (also called “safe injection sites” and “overdose prevention sites”) have established a track record of saving lives and preventing the spread of HIV, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases since the late 1980...

Safe Consumption Sites Reduce The Stress on Hospitals and Emergency Departments
Jeffrey A. SingerI wrote previously about a secret safe consumption site that has been providing services in an undisclosed location since 2014. The harm reduction organization operating it has agreed to share its data with researchers providing the researchers keep the name and location of the site confidential. This is because the federal “Crack House Statute” makes safe consumption sites illegal in the U.S.The researchers published theirfirst report in 2017. They reported that in the site ’s first 2 years of operation there were 2,574 injections among more than 100 participants, most of whom were injecti...

Follow-up on my Eight COVID Assertions
Yesterday’s post generated some good comments.
Two emergency medicine specialists felt that I was both wrong and insulting in saying that hospitals were not overwhelmed.
As a doc in NYC, I would suggest that your assertion 3 was indeed quite wrong and will be wrong in many more places before we are done— Josh Socolow (@Docjoshsoc) December 13, 2020
Jfc you weren't in Connecticut in April, and you aren't here now.We weren't (and aren't) fatally overwhelmed because of massive & costly efforts by our system. Anything less would have been catastrophic.Your blithe dismissal is kind ...

The Future of Emergency Medicine: 6 Technologies That Make Patients The Point-of-Care
Car crashes, home injuries, fires, natural disasters: every minute – if not every second – spent without treatment in such cases of medical emergencies and high-risk patients could reduce the chance of survival or proper recovery. In fact, when deprived of oxygen, permanent brain damage begins after only 4 minutes, while death can occur as soon as 4-6 minutes later. In this race against time, digital health technologies that turn patients into the point-of-care could prove to be game-changers for first responders and emergency units.
From driverless cars through medical drones to artificial intelligence (...

Can Health Sensors Help Prevent A Coronavirus Infection?
It has almost become a meme to state that your smartphone is more powerful than the computer aboard Apollo 11 that helped men land on the Moon. In fact, your phone probably boasts over 100,000 times the processing power of that computer. Now, even laptop chargers claim to be more powerful than Apollo 11’s computer…
The computer in your pocket or on your wall socket will not land you on the Moon any time soon, but these comparisons do help put technological progress into perspective. Considering that an Apple Watch can detect life-threatening conditions like atrial fibrillation, while a Fitbit could detect a woma...

A Full-Scale Assault on Medical Debt, Part 1
By BOB HERTZ
The recent
proposal by Sen. Bernie Sanders to cancel $81 billion of medical debt is a very
good start—but it is only a start.
The RIP Medical
Debt group—which buys old medical debts, and then forgives them—is absolutely
in the right spirit. Its founders Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton deserve great
credit for keeping the issue of forgiveness alive.
Unfortunately,
over $88 billion in new medical debt is created each year; most of it still
held by providers, or sold to collectors, or embedded in credit card balances.
Tragically, none of this has to happen! In France, a visit to the doctor typical...

The eICU Is Turning Night Into Day Through Telemedicine
Physicians and nurses deliver care from the other side
of the Earth by working in daylight hours in Australia covering night shifts in
Atlanta with the help of telemedicine. That’s the core concept of how night
intensive care in the Emory eICU Center is carried out in partnership with
Emory Healthcare, the Royal Perth Hospital in Australia and health technology
company, Philips. Emory is the very first who’s bringing its staff to the other
side of the globe for better patient care and more satisfied staff. The vision
to turn “night into day” was co-developed by Timothy Buchman, Ph.D., MD,
founding director of the E...

The Most Pressing Issues In Bioethics
Who owns medical and genetic data? How to regulate gene editing? Where is the boundary of enhancing physical or cognitive human capabilities? What to do with biological differences widening the gap of the haves and have-nots? Could we define where is the boundary to augment life? Will we sue robots or algorithms for medical malpractice? With the constant advancement of technology, unprecedented moral, ethical and legal concerns are surfacing. Channeling them into substantial debates will get us closer to their fair solution step by step. Here, we collected the most pressing issues in bioethics.
