The Limits of Google: How Patients Can Find Out What Works In Medical Care
This report increased the likelihood that patients who might benefit from the drug will have it covered by their insurance. ICER calculates a fair benchmark price to the manufacturer, the payer, the patient and the overall health system, so that these decisions can be made collaboratively in full view of you, the patient.

What is a Tonsillolith?
This study evaluated panoramic radiographs versus computer tomography (CT) for tonsillolith detection. CT identified tonsilloliths more often, 46.1%, vs 7.6% for radiographs, CT also identified many tonsilloliths that were of smaller sizes (59 of then were < 2 mm in size). Radiographs detected no tonsilloliths that were < 2 mm and most were 3-5 mm in size.
