They have improved, but they are not the holy grail

Recurrence of Spider Angiomas After Laser Treatment | dermatology.jwatch.org

Lasers are better than they were 10 years ago.  Especially for vascular lesions; however, they are not all purpose machines that can do everything, as evidenced by new ones every year.

Mini clinics will continue to operate in retail establishments for the forseeable future.  They have raised several concerns, so the company that addresses these concerns while providing the convenience will be rewarded with above average market share.

Mail order drugs flying off shelves | www.gazette.com

I could not agree more that people should have a choice and maybe the pricing markey is the US will finally drop after how it see it will work all pharmacies across the country. The manufacturers need to be held responsible for this issue, they caused it with raising prices and making more of a profit. They should join in with the oil industry these two make a good pair on how to rep off the consumer.

Surgeons need to Protect Themselves and Their Patients

July 2, 2007

Study Finds Many Injuries to Surgeons Go Unreported | www.nytimes.com

All necessary precautions need to be taken to prevent injury or exposure to infectious fluids/materials.  It is of paramount importance that surgeons understand that failure to obtain proper diagnosis or treatment after suffering injury or infectious exposure not only places themselves at risk, it places their patients at risk as well.  Hence, despite the time and inconvenience incurred, it is vital for surgeons to report injuries/exposure to infectious materials, undergo the appropriate diagnostic tests, and, when indicated, be treated.

Retail clinics created by doctors

June 28, 2007

Doctors, retailers square off | www.chicagotribune.com

Retail clinics were born out of a gap between what patients want and what doctors were able to provide.  We cannot fight the trend by critisizing it. While clinics have their role, they do not replace more traditional delivery systems and patients should be educated accordingly.

Unfortunate - but not shocking

June 22, 2007

Humana, UnitedHealth Suspend Some Health Plans After Complaints | www.bloomberg.com

The health insurance industry has, as its primary focus, making money - not taking care of patients.  Therefore, it is not suprising to learn that health insurance plans have misled individuals, most notably the elderly, into enrolling in plans which were not in their best interest.  It is likely that only minimal change will occur to address these acts which result in poor publicity for the insurance companies and attract the attention of government officials.

Laser liposuction - not worth the risk...just yet

June 4, 2007

Cosmetic surgeons aim lasers to melt away fat | www.app.com

Laser liposuction is a new technology which has not, in my opinion, yet been proven to be superior to conventional liposuction.  The potential benefit of less bruising and swelling following "laser liposuction" is outweighed, in my opinion, by the risk of the patient incurring burns from the laser.  I am aware of cases in which patients of board certified plastic surgeons have suffered burns following the use of "laser liposuction."
