Doing an AMA on Reddit now about hypochondria bit.ly/3AZyvlI
Richard Cash, who died this week, played a major role in developing oral rehydration therapy, which has saved tens of millions of lives npr.org/sections/goats…
Thirty years ago I did a series of stories on Toby Quitslund's fight against breast cancer for NPR. Here's an update, put together by the brilliant @Kevin_Kniestedt for @KUOW kuow.org/stories/on-bai…
NPR has reposted the story I did for Undark on the need to regulate noise. All good! Though with last week's Supreme Court decision limiting rulemaking by federal agencies, I think it will take a new act of Congress, literally, to get the EPA going. npr.org/sections/shots…
The Reagan administration defunded an EPA noise control division, leaving us with little federal help in fighting harmful, everyday noise. undark.org/2024/06/20/opi…
Do you think that taste is limited to the tongue? Do you think that only certain parts of the tongue can recognize specific tastes? Nah! nytimes.com/2024/05/29/sci…
I moved to an island for the quiet. Turns out to be a good thing for my health. scientificamerican.com/article/everyd…
Mild cogntive impairment or full-blown dementia - what happens to writing ability? undark.org/2024/04/12/ess…
A hug is worth a thousand pictures. nytimes.com/2024/04/08/hea…
How do you bring attention to a disease that is "neglected-neglected"?statnews.com/2023/10/25/nom…
It's hard to think about now -- everything is hard to think about now -- but once the traumatizing events are over it will be good to think about recovery. I talked to Robert Jay Lifton before the current war started. He has some ideas. npr.org/sections/goats…
Brilliant narrative on the meaning and role of dust. Who knew? A fun (and worrisome -- my beloved EV is a culprit) read. @hautepop theguardian.com/news/2023/aug/…
Private equity’s intrusion into US healthcare Bad things can happen when capitalism meets medical care, writes @jsilberner bmj.com/content/382/bm…
The model for short-term medical missions to foreign countries used to be: fly in, give care, leave. Things were starting to change when COVID ended missions entirely. They're getting going again. How're they doing? npr.org/sections/goats…
Scientists are working on the connection between the gut microbiome and mental health. npr.org/sections/healt…
A patient's son's suggestion 35 years ago to use toilet plungers to do CPR ultimately led to this. @luriemed #EaglesGather23 nytimes.com/2023/06/15/hea…
Who would give up pioneering cardiac surgery to: improve access to care in Bangladesh, India, Mozambique, etc.; show the health effects of racial disparities in Harlem; ban smoking and trans fats in NYC, and more? Colin McCord, who died recently.bmj.com/content/381/bm…
It turns out that 95 percent of people really do want quick and full access to their medical records. Sorry about the paywall. bmj.com/content/381/bm…
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will be sitting down with drug companies to negotiate drug prices. History shows it is not going to be easy. statnews.com/2023/03/10/med…
