World Bi-Polar Day 2021

By staff reporters

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year. While most people will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.

Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

On Physician [Un] Match Day 2021

UN-Match day 2021

By Staff Reporters

DEFINITION: Match Day is a term used widely in the graduate medical education community to represent the day when the National Resident Matching Program or NRMP releases results to physician applicants seeking residency and fellowship training positions in the United States.

Unmatched physicians

So many physicians this year didn’t match, just like any other yesteryear.

* All have gone to medical school after being 1-10 top percent of their premedical courses.
* All have finished medical school .
* All of them have passed their USLME exams, but they didn’t match.

Medicine is calling for all of them, but they won’t be practicing medicine.

Why?

Limited number of spots for the new residents.
We know that there is shortage but we let these doctors not practice medicine.
Such an irony.

Assessment

  • Let these doctors practice in a supervised environment!
  • Your comments are appreciated

Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020

Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna

By Staff Reporters

Even as a child growing up in Hawaii, Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna had a strong urge to know things. One day, her father placed the book ‘The Double Helix’ on her bed. This detective-style story about how the structure of the DNA molecule was solved was like nothing she had read in her school textbooks. She was captivated by the scientific process and realised that science is more than just facts.

However, when she started to solve scientific mysteries, her attention was not on DNA, but on its molecular sibling: RNA. This would eventually lead her to the discovery of CRISPR/Cas9 a tool that can be used to change the DNA of organisms with extremely high precision and, in 2020, to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Wishing her a happy birthday today!

What is Physician Board “Certification” & “Eligibility”?

WHAT IS PHYSICIAN BOARD CERTIFICATION AND BOARD ELIGIBILITY?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/drrYKeT

BOARD CERTIFICATION (Boarded, Diplomate): A doctor who is board certified has pursued advanced training in his or her specialty and has passed a qualifying examination; a doctor who is board eligible has received the training but has not taken or passed the exam.
DHIMC: https://lnkd.in/e9AmEhd

BOARD ELIGIBLE: Describes a physician who is eligible to take the specialty board examination by virtue of being graduated from an approved medical school, completing a specific type and length of training, and practicing for a specified amount of time. Some HMOs and other health facilities accept board eligibility as equivalent to board certification, significant in that many managed care companies restrict referrals to physicians without certification.

Terms and Definitions to Debate

DHIMC: https://lnkd.in/e9AmEhd
FOREWORD: https://lnkd.in/gywd_Ad

MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE: The supplies and services used to diagnose and treat a medical condition within the standards of good medical care. The revenues from health insurance premiums spent to pay for the medical services covered by the plan. Usually referred as a ratio, such as 0.95, which means that 95% of premiums were spent on purchasing medical services. The goal is to keep this ratio below 1.00–preferably in the 0.75, range, since the insurance plan’s profit comes from premiums.

MEDICALLY NEEDY: Patients eligible for Medicaid whose medical bills and total income is below certain limits.

MEDICALLY UNNECESARY CARE: That part of a stay in a facility [case manager] determined as excessive to diagnose and treat a medical condition in accordance with the standards of good medical practice and the medical community. Excessive may be because stay was too long or available in a less costly or more efficient setting.

RED CROSS Day History

RED CROSS DAY

On this day in 1863, Henry Dunant founded the Red Cross, which would go onto receive the Nobel Peace Prize three times.

During the Battle of Solferino in the Franco-Austrian war, Swiss businessman Dunant was shocked to witness tens of thousands dead or wounded left on the field after just one day of fighting.

After this experience, on 17 February 1863, he decided to form the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva Switzerland with four other Swiss businessmen to take care of casualties and prisoners of war. In the following year, the first Geneva Convention was adopted, “for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field.”

The First World War was an enormous challenge for the organisation. At the outbreak of the war in 1914 medical staff from all over the world gathered to take care of the many wounded. One of them was the young Ernest Hemingway (awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 1954), employed as an ambulance driver on the Austrian-Italian front. The experience later inspired him to write the novel ‘Farewell to Arms’.

***

Henry Dunant was awarded the first ever Nobel Peace Prize in 1901 for his humanitarian work.

The organization he founded received the prize three times.

Malpractice Insurance “Policy Limits”

WHAT ARE “LIMITS” OF MALPRACTICE INSURANCE LIABILITY?

Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY

HEALTH ECONOMICS DICTIONARY:

https://lnkd.in/dqdbWM9

DEFINITION: What the insurance company will pay on a doctor’s behalf in the event of a claim. If your limits of liability are “$1,000,000 / $3,000,000” it would mean that the insurance company would pay a maximum of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million per year for claims.

For further clarification, refer to the examples below and assume limits of liability of 1,000,000 / $3,000,000:

· In one year you have 4 lawsuits each for $800,000:
The insurance company pays $3,000,000 and you are responsible for $200,000.
· In one year you have 2 lawsuits each for $2,000,000:
The insurance company pays $2,000,000 ($1 million each) and you are responsible for $2,000,000 ($1 million each).
· In one year you have 9 lawsuits each for $20,000:
The insurance company would pay everything.

However, most states have minimum requirements for limits of liability should you have hospital privileges. And so your thoughts are appreciated.
