Bad Medicine

Bad Medicine 06/24/2005 08:42 PM

Every once in awhile a story comes along that you can't summarize or add to, all you can do is urge people to read it. Rob Waters, the guy who recently blew the lid off the irresponsible prescription of antidepressants to children even though the pharma companies knew these drugs heightened the risk of suicide, is back, writing in Mother Jones about a case of a 13 year old girl, Aliah Gleason, caught under the outrageous Texas law that allows government psychiatrists beholden to big pharma to barge into schools, subject students to compulsory psychological tests, and mandate expensive and controversial drug and incarceration treatments. Please read the full story. The outcome in Aliah's story, after she was seized by the government from her parents: The Gleasons would not be allowed to see or even speak to their daughter for the next five months, and Aliah would spend a total of nine months in a state psychiatric hospital and residential treatment facilities. While in the hospital, she was placed in restraints more than 26 times and medicated—against her will and without her parents' consent—with at least 12 different psychiatric drugs, many of them simultaneously. As reported last year in the British Medical Journal, Bush wants to expand this invasive travesty to a national program with the grotesque name "New Freedom Initiative". This boggles the mind. How can an administration that claims to want to minimize the role of government justify this gestapo-like intrusion into citizens' private lives in the absence of any crime being committed? Why are the legacy media not investigating the aggressive lobbying of big pharma for laws and programs that are blatantly designed to sell their most expensive and experimental products, and test them on children, our most vulnerable citizens? And how can all of this be tolerated in a nation that calls itself  "the land of the free"?

Since my accident I have been to the x-ray room 7 times to catscan three times and one MRI. I am sure my insurance company will be happy with the bill these have been invaluable in evaluating the before and after results of my surgery and to track the healing progress.

Today while on a non-standard follow up to try and determine the source of a some isolated pain I have been having they pulled out a dozen images and did some quick comparison. They used a technique where the 2 images are loaded and then major differences are pointed out in affected areas. Being nothing was found they think I have a nerve causing the pain or isolated muscle spasms.

I left the clinic feeling relieved that nothing had shifted and not looking forward to taking the new prescription. For those of you that have ever taken flexirol (spelling is probably wrong) you will understand why I have not been posting much.

Software and Medicine 09/15/2004 07:29 PM

This AP story about the failure of air traffic control communications in southern California marks an interesting milestone in the American culture of victimhood.  Pilots and passengers were the ones at risk but "Three [FAA ATC] workers filed injury claims, saying they were traumatized by seeing flights veer toward one another on radar without being able to do anything."

In a society where "software and medicine are the only things that regularly fail," the last line of the article was not too surprising:  "Ghaffari said a backup computer system was activated, but it failed too."

Other topics include Medical Aspects of Harsh Environments (Vol. 1), Medi cal Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare, and Medical Consequences of Nuclear Warfare (<-- pdf file).

Early Science and Medicine: A Journal for the Study of Science, Technology
and Medicine in the Pre-modern Period
http://www.sprin gerlink.com/link.asp?id=112056

Early Science and Medicine is an international quarterly dedicated to the history of science, medicine and technology from the earliest times through to the eighteenth century. The need to treat in a single journal all aspects of scientific activity and thought to the eighteenth century is due to two factors: to the continued importance of ancient sources throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period, and to the comparably low degree of specialization and the high degree of disciplinary interdependence characterizing the period before the rofessionalization of science. The journal, which limits itself to the Western, Byzantine and Arabic traditions, is particularly interested in emphasizing these elements of continuity and interconnectedness, and it encourages their diachronic study from a variety of viewpoints, including commented text editions and monographic studies of historical figures and scientific questions or practices. Early Science and Medicine, which contains an extended book review section, has recently also begun to dedicate special feature sections to emerging historiographic fields and methods of research. The main language of the journal is English, though contributions in French and German are also accepted. This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.

http://www.folkmed.ucla.edu/
The Archive of American Folk Medicine is the result of more than 50 years of work by UCLA-associated folklorists who "documented beliefs and practices relating to folk medicine and alternative healthcare. In order to make the data more readily available to the worldwide community of researchers and medical practitioners, the Online Archive of American Folk Medicine was established in 1996 under the direction of Dr. Michael Owen Jones, a professor of folklore and history at UCLA." The Archive draws from over 3,200 published works, and is intended to serve folklorists, sociologists, and historians. The website provides basic and advanced search options; and records include brief entries for Citation, Condition, Belief, Method of Treatment, and more. Users should be aware that the Archive website has not been updated in several years but it remains a valuable resource for researchers and others interested in folk medicine.
