Sinus infection? Antibiotics won't help - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2012...
Kevin Johnson, ☆彡Jazzy-B, imabonehead and 2 other people liked this
"- Roughly 20% of the antibiotic prescriptions written in the United States for adults each year are for sinus infections. That's an impressive statistic, given that doctors and public health officials have long doubted that antibiotics can successfully treat the condition. A new study, published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, appears to confirm those doubts: The antibiotic amoxicillin was no better than placebo at improving the congestion, cough, runny nose, pain, and other symptoms that accompany sinus infections (also known as acute sinusitis), researchers found."

My daughter had a bad sinus infection, which 2 doctors did not prescribe antibiotics -(31/2 wk period)...She was also a basketball player and during this episode, suffered an injury (slight fissure) on the eyebrow bone... The infection leaked from the sinus cavities to back behind the lens to the macula...as a result nerves and supportive tissue were damaged.causing a malformed droopy...

“A Nation Emerges: The Mexican Revolution Revealed” << I visited this exhibit today, it's amazing the collection of photographs and art they have. Quite interesting to read about the Mexican Revolution, somewhat unfiltered by American. - http://www.lapl.org/events...
Michael W. May liked this
"In September 1910, Porfirio Díaz, Mexico's longtime president, staged the Fiestas del Centenario, or Centennial Festivals, to mark the hundredth anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. Designed to showcase Mexico's development into a modern nation, the celebrations were held amid widespread social unrest. Only a few months later the revolutionary leader Francisco Madero issued his "Plan of San Luis Potosí", challenging Díaz's thirty-year virtual dictatorship and calling for countrywide insurrection to begin on November 20, 1910, the date now considered to be the start of the Mexican Revolution."

"Legend has it that lovers used to meet under pistachio trees and listen for shells cracking, which signaled everlasting happiness. We don't have a pistachio tree handy, but we do have Jeff Cerciello's immensely gratifying pistachio-pesto pasta. In Santa Monica at Farmshop's newly launched artisan market, Cerciello replaces the oft-used basil-pine-nut version with an arresting combination of fresh parsley, mint, garlic, Meyer-lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Toasted pistachios and tender broccoli florets provide soulful heft in a recipe that's become our newest Italian-inspired crush."

The advantages of single payer and/or nationalized health care, from a purely self-interested standpoint as a provider:
Mark J, Bryan R. Adams, Michael W. May and 21 other people liked this
(1) I don't have to worry as much about what's covered/what isn't covered. I don't have to be familiar with 18 different formularies. I don't have to deal with 18 different provider networks
- Victor Ganata
(2) The chances are much higher that my patients will actually be able to afford their medication and that they'll actually end up getting better, instead of futilely coming every few months for lab tests so I can tell them their blood sugar isn't getting any better, because they're not taking their medication, because they can't afford them, even though they have insurance and work.
- Victor Ganata
(3) I don't have to hire two full time employees just to deal with the bullshit paperwork spewing forth from the 18 different insurance companies, HMOs, and provider networks we regularly deal with.
- Victor Ganata
(4) My employees don't have to deal with corporate bureaucrats who are completely stripped of all empathy, because their bonuses depend entirely on denying my patients care, which therefore encourages them to be completely unhelpful and to force us to run around their futile telephone trees.
- Victor Ganata
(5) The chances are better that I'll actually be able to send my patient to a specialist, or order lab tests or imaging, because the chances are higher that the specialist, laboratory, or radiologist will also actually get paid for thier services, instead of realizing the day of the appointment that, you know what, we don't actually accept this insurance.
- Victor Ganata
(6) I don't have to fill out redundant paperwork for 18 different insurance companies, HMOs, and provider networks to renew my contract with them every year.
- Victor Ganata
*plays Coldplay in the background*
- Rodfather
Hoping the pre authorization for those imaging tests goes away too. Even if we accept the insurance they still deny tests :(

From a private provider: profit rules, it's a business. From a govt option: the individual's & thereby collectively the nation's health is the main concern. Single payer provider? Is that a single private entity or govt as well? Update! Nvmd I reread it, gotcha
- The Real sofarsoShawn
from FFHound!
(7) The chances of having a unified or at least exportable EMR system is more likely, so I don't have to hire someone simply for the task of obtaining and scanning records, and/or sending out copies of medical records via fax, and maybe I won't have to wait days and days and days from unresponsive medical records departments, because all they have to do is hit a button and send it over the Internet.
- Victor Ganata
@Victor, our legal team over interprets privacy laws. We joke that not even the ordering physician will be able to get a report when they finish our policy guidelines.
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
from FFHound!
Victor, but the EMR system is being built on a government contract, which leads to all sorts of problems.
- DJF
They should really just use CPRS/VistA. But the way I understand it works under PPACA is that you can implement whatever private EMR system you want, but the government has to decide that it meets the requirements before it pays you the subsidy for it. So the idea of platform independence is probably a pipe dream, but at least it should cut down on having to schlep paper copies of everything from office-to-office.
- Victor Ganata
I guess everyone's privacy policy is different. As arduous as it sometimes is to get a hold of people's records, I don't think I can really blame the privacy restrictions for the delays.
- Victor Ganata
I don't think pre-authorization will go away. It will actually probably become routine. But patients seem to be more understanding when a pre-auth gets straight-up denied than when the pre-auth is approved, they show up at the lab or the radiology center, and then there's some kind of snafu with their insurance at the time of visit.

"Fridges are a recent invention; for thousands of years, people lived without them, but had many low-tech ways of making food last. Today most fridges are filled with stuff that would last just as long and probably would taste a lot better if it was never lost in the back of the fridge. They are expensive air conditioned parking lots for what Shay Salomon called "compost and condiments." Some are looking at alternatives to such an expensive and wasteful model. Kris De Decker of No Tech Magazine "refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," and shows the work of Korean designer Jihyun Ryou, who says "we hand over the responsibility of taking care of food to the technology, the refrigerator. We don’t observe the food any more and we don’t understand how to treat it.""

I use all of them except the sand one. I never thought of sticking root veggies in sand and it's just a DUH! The others I do on a smaller scale, though Adrian won't let me leave eggs out. I do have to get on him about keeping "salsa veggies" in the fridge in plastic. That's just nasty.

They are really cute, but you'd need to build them bigger than these to be practical. I really like the idea. I HATE MY FRIDGE! It's so last century. :P
- TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC
Cool ideas. I would quibble with the statement that taking food out of the fridge reuces the energy usage. A nearly empty fridge running at a specfic temp setting will use more electricity than a fairly full fridge of the same size, at the same temp setting. Of course, opening the door frequently offsets that. If, by keeping fewer things in the fridge, you can switch to a smaller fridge, THAT would save energy.
