Last March, I blogged about some stories that national news organizations covered, but I had written about weeks or months before.
In the last few weeks, four more such episodes have
occurred.
On December 10, 2013, a CBS article noted that patients who
used proton pump inhibitors to control acid reflux were at risk for vitamin B12
deficiency. I wrote about the many side effects, including B12 deficiency, of these drugs back in June of
2012. Links are here: CBS/me
The New York Times ran a piece on December 12, 2013 asking if today's new surgeons were unprepared for practice. I have been writing about
this for over three years. My most recent post about this topic was on April
18, 2013. Links are here: NY Times/me
On January 26, 2014, an op-ed piece in the New York Times by
Nicholas Kristof discussed the ethical issues of doctors conducting body cavity
searches at the request of police. My post on this same topic, which included all of the
same cases, ran on Physician's Weekly on January 6 of this year. Links are here: NY Times/me
Also on 26th of January, the Washington Post published an
article on high-ranking military officers who had significant behavior issues.
I had written about three of these cases back in November of 2012. Links are here: WashingtonPost/me

Thanks for that ringing endorsement.
Congrats...btw, i guess the word going around the streets is - what skep scalpel thinks today- the world thinks tomorrow.....
That's a good slogan. Maybe I should use it instead of the Oscar Wilde quote.
Either that, or maybe "bringing common sense back to surgery".
Good one Artiger
Not surprisingly, I agree with Anonymous.
