The Six Trigger Patients who can Hijack your Shift
There are certain patients who push your buttons and cause you to lose your cool. It’s up to you to anticipate these triggers and come up with a plan to manage their care with compassion and poise.

All my attempts to delve into the shallowness of epistemological relativism and to grasp objective and universal truths seem to have flopped. View-ing my fan mail versus hate mail, it is clear that the more down-to-earth suggestions are what people want. As one reader put it: “Don’t give me any crap by Bonhoeffer and Kant. G...

Claims acupuncture 'staves off dementia' are missing the point
Conclusion
This review aimed to gather evidence for the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture to treat mild cognitive impairment.
It found some evidence that acupuncture may have some efficacy, but there are many important cautions to this research:
All trials compared acupuncture with nimodipine, which is not licensed for this use in the UK. Since there are no treatments or interventions licensed in the UK to prevent progression of MCI, it's hard to draw any comparisons or implications from such findings.
There are only five relatively small studies, all of which seem to be Chinese populations. We don't know that...

New program helps radiologists come out of the dark
This article is a radiology 3.0 rah rah rahlets talk to every patient to increase our value because... value. If I can fundamentally help 2 patients in time X, or I can help 1 patient and also have a nice chat with the patient that won't affect medical care in any meaningful way, wherein lies "value." Hell I am all for lazing my day away jabbering at patients. That's fun, low pressure, no malpractice risk, and one gets to play the part of the knowledgable Doctor. But what it accomplishes is Social/PR and not Medical.
