The corrupting pressures of politics and profit in Health Care - (USA)
I thought I’d take a crack at the full context of this, using a contributor to That Other Blog posting under the moniker of ‘Jules’. Italicized text is verbatim “what I object to” statements. Quoted source: OpenCongress helps you track all the actions by your elected officials and what people are saying about them. Putting the entire post under the fold, because it really is very long and in my humble (ha!) opinion should be read all the way through. Sec. 123, pg. 30: A government

Mind your language - (USA)
When discussing potentially sensitive issues, I think it is important to try to use language that is not likely to offend those affected by the issues. Recently, I referred to people “suffering from” conditions, disorders or diseases in a post that mentioned (among other things) dyslexia and autism. It was pointed out to me in the comments section that “we don’t “suffer” from Autism, but from intolerance, prejudice and discrimination” - and I have read elsewhere the argument that Suffering is no

Diagnosing chest pain using an angiogram test - (USA)
Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — Though angiography tests cost $1500 as against CT scan which costs $700, the test that use multiple X-rays that produce spectacular 3-D images of heart does not give the true picture of the coronary conditions. People opt for CT scans for reason (a) that they are not aware of the ineffectiveness of the test and (2) CT scan of heart is non invasive, the fear of laying down in the CathLabs make people go for CT scans and (3) the cost.

Gum disease tied to worse mental function - (USA)
Gum disease tied to worse mental function People with gingivitis (gum disease) have worse mental function than their peers whose gums are in better shape, a new analysis of US data shows. The findings raise the possibility that system-wide inflammation due to gum disease could have harmful effects on brain function. However, because the study only looked at a single time point it could not gauge whether or not there is a causal relationship between oral health and cognitive performance.
