I shared with our readers the outrageous and unfair admission agreement/contract used by Trinity Mission Nursing Home here in Virginia in a previous post last week. To say the admission agreement used by this nursing home chain is “one-sided” would be a huge understatement.

In the WSJ today, a letter to the editor was published extolling the major strides made by the U.S. military in voice recognition technology for electronic health records:

“Positional asyphxia” is a fancy term for a terrible, but preventable, problem. Positional asphyxia, is also known as postural asphyxia, is a form of asphyxia which occurs when someone’s position prevents them from breathing adequately. In the nursing home setting, this life-threatening problem is more frequent due to the use of bedrails.

California is right up on the list where medical marijuana is legal with a prescription from a doctor. Over the last year the City of Los Angeles has come on strong as it became almost too easy. BD

This is good news in the cost department. As stated below the name brand drug is made from heparin so I am guessing the same active ingredient is present here. If a blood clot is detected then there are stents that can be put in place in the legs and you can read more at the link below on how this works. BD

Hearing reports like this bothers me as I am sure it bugs others too. In April we had all the folks at the SEC watching porn too. Are we not adults to 
where we need baby sitters at government levels? It sure sounds like we have some folks who may not be in the adult category. Over the years I have removed peer to peer software from employee computers and they get mad, go figure. They think their computer at work belongs to them, to which I say no this is the company computer, yours is at home.

The current rules are calling for refunds from the insurance companies if they do not meet the amounts in the new laws for spending 85% of 
premiums payments on medical costs. As noted here Senator Rockefeller wants to ask that fraud detection be excluded from the area of medical costs. He might be on to something here too as this is where the big transactions occur and make millions for subsidiaries and 3rd parties. United as an example could be using their subsidiary Ingenix to run fraud detection and of course they would get their normal transaction fees, so thus the money goes right back into the till of United if that is is the case. United also owns a bank where HSA, health savings accounts are kept, so does that qualify for medical costs in helping support the bank?

I just read about a tragedy which, unfortunately, happens all too frequently but could have been avoided.
