Contemplating Health Data Rights as Civil Rights
BY ERIC PERAKSLIS ON BEHALF OF THE LIGHT COLLECTIVE
Recently, despite decades of experience in cybersecurity, privacy, and data science, I got sent back to school.

Before we even get started (and for the record), I was born at Cone Hospital. For years, I admired it from afar.But that was before . . .Once upon a time, twenty-four years ago this month, the executives running my hometown hospital (Randolph Hospital in Asheboro, North Carolina), fired me ( " without cause " ) . . . two weeks after I answered a terrified LDRP charge nurse ' s call in the middle of the night - to intervene in a neonatal case where the managing Family Practitioner was so " lost " that the nurse feared the baby would die before I could get there.

One of them suggested using Circulomics products, and that was followed by an ominous yet vague warning from an ONT employee. But not just any ONT employee, but Chief Strategy Officer Spike Willcocks. Having not seen a retraction of that tweet, I'm here to ...

The Book of Ten Sayings 9
Number 9 in the Book of Ten Sayings reminds us that developing, building, and caring for human relationships are our primary responsibilities here on this planet. Several sayings stimulate our memories or touch around the margins, but the one that singularly hits home is,Always forgive, including yourself.We have landed in such a bizarre landscape that we don't know how to react to others, especially when the insults and criticism by which they have wronged us seem so arbitrary, ill informed, and exaggerated. The Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," sometimes requires some translating from the ...
