"Hello, I'm the chief of neurotrauma surgery for the city of San Francisco, and I'd like to join the Navy." Said this man:
Holland took a pay cut of more than 50 percent to join the Navy, but he brushes aside the topic with a wave of his hand.
"The pay isn't as good as it would be in private practice, but that's not the point," he said. "Obviously, I didn't do it for the money. I didn't get into medicine for the money. Otherwise I'd be in private practice.

Good Enough? The Wall Street Journal says that most seniors are satisfied with their current Medicare prescription coverage:
Despite seniors' early frustrations due to system glitches and often-confusing choices, polls indicate the taxpayer-subsidized drug insurance now is more popular among beneficiaries. Monthly premiums are lower than the government had forecast, and more private insurers than expected are offering the plans.
"It's working better than ... I thought possible," says former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, in an interview. "Why change something that's working?"
I suspect those polls are old. My sense was that at first, when the newspapers were clamoring about how the whole program was too complicated for old folks, my Medicare patients were very happy with it. They either no longr had to pay the whole cost out of pocket or they were getting better coverage than their insurance company gave them. (Those whose insurance companies already offered better deals didn't have to switch.) But now, most people have entered that crazy "donut" period and have to pay their own drug costs. They aren't happy any longer.

Vaccine Week Guidance: The CDC has helpfully assembled some advice on how to explain to your patients that you don't have vaccine to give during National Influenza Vaccination Week:
For patients who express concern about the fact that a vaccination isn't immediately available at the time they contact the provider, the following information and talking points are suggested:
* I appreciate your interest in calling about an influenza vaccination for yourself or your family member.
* Ideally, people should be vaccinated by the end of November, but it is certainly not too late to get the vaccine in December or January in most years. The flu season typically peaks in February or later, so CDC recommends continuing to vaccinate into December, January, and beyond as needed.
* This is why CDC and other groups are sponsoring National Influenza Vaccination Week during the last week of November, to get out the message that continuing to vaccinate beyond Thanksgiving is important to protect Americans against the flu.
* At this time, I am planning to administer the vaccine ________________(timing and types of vaccination opportunities that are planned)________.

Behind the Veil: A Saudi graduate student in linguistics who was convicted of enslaving his Indonesian maid and repeatedly sexually assaulting her defended his actions thusly:
"Your honor, I am not here to apologize, for I cannot apologize for things I did not do and for crimes I did not commit," he told Judge Mark Hannen.
"The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors. Attacking traditional Muslim behaviors was the focal point of the prosecution," he said.
Are these really "traditional muslim behaviors?" Do women who grow up in this kind of environment just assume that they are less than fullly human, that the natural order of the world has men at the pinnacle and women are merely their possessions? Or does the human spirit naturally chafe against the bondage?
This week's JAMA has a piece by a woman physician which suggests it chafes:
What is uncommon, and of great significance to me, is that my Arab husband would sit down to listen to his wife's opinion with the utmost respect and thoughtful consideration.
..From the moment I was born, my freedom was withdrawn, my hands were cuffed, and I was placed under the custody of whichever man was defined at each stage of my life to bear my responsibility, starting with my father (or if he had been deceased, a brother, uncle, cousin, or even a district representative), followed by my husband, then my son, and so on, but never for the duration of my existence be capable of making my own decisions. I needed permission to go to school, to go anywhere, in fact, and God forbid to travel by myself at the age of 24 to another city two hours away....I was empowered with the tools to think yet paralyzed and forbidden from expressing or acting on my thoughts. Those tools rendered me not accepting, sorrowful, and very low-spirited.

Those Bargain Generics: The generic market is evidently a booming business, and about to get better, as one frequent commenter here often points out. It's so good that Wal-Mart's bargain basement prices aren't a problem- for Wal-Mart or its supplier, McKesson:
Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., estimates that the 331 drugs now covered by its discount program represent more than 25 percent of the prescriptions filled at its pharmacies nationwide. The company recently said the program is offered at 3,009 pharmacies in 38 states.
In its earnings reports this year, McKesson has pointed to its generics business as a source of increasing profit. McKesson, the largest distributor of generic drugs in North America, said it moves quickly to make generics available to customers once the patents on brand-name drugs expire.
Because patents are expiring on so many expensive drugs, the growth rate of revenue from pharmaceutical distribution is dropping, it said. But profit margins from the increased sales of generic drugs should be higher, McKesson predicted in a May 4 report.
