The Robot...Good or bad, which is it?

Craig Stevens

From Idea
Robotic assisted surgery for prostate cancer was supposed to be a life saving or at least a quality-of-life saving advance. Now we're hearing it might not be. This type of back and forth argument among people who are supposed to know is frustrating and scary. Yet it seems it happens all the time...at our expense. I mean we're even debating mammograms these days. It rea...

Chiropractic Help

Pat Dulle BSN, RN-BC, CHTP
From Idea
If you want to try chiropractic care then I recommend that you pay out of pocket. Ask friends or family for a recommendation. An affordable and reputable option is to go to a Logan Chiropractic Health Care Center. Locations are listed online. The initial consultation is $75 and includes exam, labs, x-rays. Subsequent care is $22. I am not aware that these centers offer accup...

Will the Apple iPad be beneficial to the health care community?

From Idea
With Apple’s announcement of the iPad, I can’t help but think of the impact it could have on the medical industry. I can imagine the medical industry changing and becoming almost completely paperless. This is, of course, hypothetical until the iPad can undergo testing in a real-world medical environment. There are many articles about what the iPad is missing, bu...

I've been having trouble with chronic headaches and have been told by numerous people (including my primary) that I need to see a chiropractor. The problem is, our BJC employee insurance doesn't cover this. What is reccomended? What have others done when they need adjustments and chiropractic care?

Isn't "Exercise" Medicine?

Mathias F
From Idea
How true that doing physical exercises can be the best medicine to prevent sickness? Just because you want to start [url=http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/01/29/107-save-big-and-get-small/]losing weight[/url] doesn't mean you should be practically driven to using payday loans to float a gym membership. I know it's one of your New Years Resolutions, but ...

Health Care Bill Is Critical For Poor and Low-Income Women.

From Blog
The health care reform bill that is pending in Congress should be passed. The differences in the House and Senate versions must be hammered out and approved for final legislation to pass. It’s fundamental to the YWCA Metro St. Louis mission to eliminate racism and empower women. Yes, race and sexism play heavily in policies and equal access to health care for the peop...

I've found my myHealthFolders account invaluable - when my husband and I went on our honeymoon, I was able to print off our medical records to take with us, just in case. My grandmother uses her account to print off her medication report, so she doesn't have to carry all of her pill bottles with her everywhere. It also comes in handy when going to see a new physi...

I have a problem when I see all the TV ads for medicine that you can not buy with out a prescription from your Dr. I have heard the drug companies spend upwards of 5 BILLION dollars a year on TV ads. Wouldn't that money be better used in research and lowering the cost of drugs. The ads say to ask your Dr. If I didn't trust my Dr. to know what was available and what was be...

Sylvia Robbins
From Idea
Google Health is one of several personal health record programs out there. I agree that idea of keeping all your medical records in one place online is a good one, but I think security is a big concern, especially when you're talking about non-medical providers keeping your information. To try to combine the best features of existing personal health records, BJ...

There would be some things to tweak on this but thought I would share info on the brand new iPad. Watch a great video on the product and its functions here: http://mashable.com/2010/01/27/ipad/. What do you think of something like this as a universal system? Frances you make a good point on hosting...not sure how that would work.

Frances Whitman
From Idea
I think technology like Google Health is a good tool for personal use. Good way to keep you or your family's health records organized, but there are too many hurdles to jump before everyone is on board with a universal system for EMRs. What would it take to get all providers on the same OS? Where would the records for everyone be hosted/served? And how will it be ...

I would like to advocate a health care system which: 1)Keeps the treating physician accountable for the appropriateness, effectiveness, and cost of care. 2)Provides a primary care model such that one physician is responsible for the coordination of all specialist care, diagnostic studies, and address drug interaction and compliance. 3)Addresses the issue of medication,...

I am hopeful that you have addressed the following areas: 1)Given multiple studies showing medication compliance rates of 50% have you included a methodology for tracking compliance? This area results in massive waste of costs for unused medications as well as diminished quality of care. 2)I hope that you have required a justification for polypharmacy often utilized in p...
