It’s tax season again, which seems an even colder season than winter for many of us. Physicians, especially, can feel a chill in the air this time of year as they attempt in vain to get ready for April 15th. Between taking care of their patients and trying to stay compliant with so many initiatives, many doctors have little time to actually learn the basics of the tax codes that apply to them, and so they wind up getting involved in questionable investments and “tax shelters” to, in the end,…

As baby boomers grow older and are no longer able to care for themselves, the need for a nursing home will increase. Not only is oral care in a nursing home a problem, several reputable authors have labeled it as “deplorable.” Regardless of the legislation declaring that residents receive oral care, there has not yet been a system put in to place to monitor this. There have been many reports in the US describing how horrific “the delivery of oral care is, including lack of toothbrushes and other…

With 2016 have being an election year, politics are everywhere. People wear shirts, have signs outside of their homes, and often times discuss or argue about these with others. Personally, as an 18 year old this was my first year voting. I was excited and overwhelmed with such a decision. However, growing up I have always been raised to have particular beliefs and I have always stood by those beliefs. My choice was very clear from the beginning of it all. I was with her. I grew up in a very…

Healthcare has been at the forefront of confrontation for centuries. From the first implementation of the U.S Marine Hospital in 1798 to the execution of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in its current state, the questions of who will pay, who will have access and what is going to be the quality of care remains a challenge. Healthcare as we know will always come at a cost. Someone will need to pay for the services rendered as nothing is free. How much you pay, often speaks to the…

I am beyond frustrated watching the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee interview Governor Rick Snyder and the EPA official, Ms. McCarthy on C-span. I watched as state government officials, mainly Gov. Rick Snyder, try to toss the EPA advisors under the bus. Between the two of them, they went back and forth playing the blame game. It was as though there was no one taking accountability. The thing that infuriates me beyond all reason is the fact that the Governor is using Michigan…

A professor of bioethics, Peter Singer, published an article in The New York Times Magazine, arguing his “solution” to poverty. He claims that what money you’re currently spending on luxuries should be given to those who need need food, medicine, and other basic life necessities. The issue of poverty is so complex, however, that every solution has pros and cons. In Singer’s solution though, the cons outweigh the pros. Obviously, most people would take any opportunity to help out a fellow man who…

The article “should hospitals and doctors apologize for patients” by Sandra G. Boodman seeks to address how apologizing could work and save time and money. In addition to the high litigation cost that’s getting up every since. However, sometimes it is entirely useless because human life is priceless. The article problems being discussed whether doctors have the right to not tell the patient about the mistake and its process. Although the program that Sandra mentions will save time and money…
