Hits and Misses
Some community health centers are running for-profit Medicaid managed care plans.
Patients with more money to spend are happier with their doctors.
Are the benefits of exercise due to a single molecule?
Prisoners think they are more moral than you are; they also think they are kinder. HT: Tyler Cowen
The last link doesn’t work.

“Cold weather kills”
I guess people don’t know how to put on a sweater, or light a fire.
Or stay inside
“Are the benefits of exercise due to a single molecule?”
Pill-based exercise, here we come.
It was only a matter of time.
What happens when a Doctor googles a liver transplant patient and sees that they are drinking on facebook?
This is why the cloud is not out friend.
Doctors will now be able to observe behaviors and see how their patients got their certain ailments.
“Patients with more money to spend are happier with their doctors.”

“There, on MugShots.com, was a younger version of my patient’s face, with details about how she had been detained for cocaine possession more than three decades earlier.”

Cold weather kills more people than hot weather…
Basically, we’re all going to die of something. Extreme heat speeds up the process by days or weeks; extreme cold speeds up the process by years or decades.
Cold weather kills more people than hot weather; the cold is also responsible for more annual deaths than leukemia, homicide, and chronic liver disease.
This is interesting considering it’s cheaper to raise ambient air temperature 1 degree than cool it 1 degree.
Is your doctor googling you? I don’t care if my doctor Googles me. I’ve Googled people I’ve met to make sure they are who they say they are. I’ve even Googled myself to see what the Internet has to say about me.
