#Medicine is plagued by untrustworthy #clinicaltrials. How many studies are #faked or #flawed? Investigations suggest that, in some fields, at least one-quarter of clinical trials might be problematic or even entirely made up, warn some researchers. They urge stronger scrutiny. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02299-w

Do you want to you be cared for by an NP (<1K hrs training) or an ED doc(10-16K hrs)?
A 3-year study documents worse outcomes & higher costs with NPs. Accdg to the paper, in 44 VA EDs, "we find that, on avg, NPs use more resources but achieve worse patient outcomes relative to MDs."
In fact, NPs, caring for pts w/o MD supervision, raised⬆️30-day preventable hospitalizations by 20%‼️vs ED docs. Hospital administrators pls take note!

Covid’s back, you say? As disabled and vulnerable people know all too well, it never went away
“More than three years on from the start of the pandemic, there’s understandably a desire to ‘move on’, to bury painful memories of lockdowns and watching loved ones dying on iPads. This has only been encouraged by the government, which has honed the message ‘Covid is over’, as if saying this somehow makes it so.”

Information to give to the coroner in case this turns out to be serious:
I got two #vaccination shots (#flu and first round of #shingles) on Friday morning. No reactions or problems at the time.
~24 hours later and now still at 68 hours later and I noticed I have a red, warm area *near* but not *at* the injection site. A palm-sized area on my upper arm, 4-6 inches below the site.
Not itchy, painful, raised or bumpy. Just red and warm.

"The [medical credit] cards also don't provide the same type of financial protections as debt held by a health care organization, according to a new report from U.S. Public Interest Research Group. That's because any charges on these cards aren't considered medical debt, unlike a bill owed to a hospital or health care office, the consumer advocacy group notes."

"America's nurses are stressed out to the point where they are leaving the industry. By 2027, nearly a fifth of registered nurses will hang up their scrubs for good, according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing....For the ones that are working, Moffatt said some are now looking for nursing jobs outside a hospital setting."

"A Cultural History of Chemistry in Antiquity covers the period from 3000 BCE to 600 CE, ranging across the civilizations of the Mediterranean and Near East. Over this long period, chemical artisans, recipes, and ideas were exchanged between Mesopotamia, Egypt, Phoenicia, Greece, Rome, and Byzantium."
