Medicine by jury

I received two comments to my post on the case of Mrs. Ruthie Webster, from the lawyer who runs the “Texas Advanced Directive Blog,” Jerri Lynn Ward, J.D. (I have already offered Ms. Ward any help I can give in these cases.) (Among other things) Ms. Ward said, You will NEVER get lawyers out of … Continue reading

News Release on Embryonic Stem Cell "Breakthrough" Changed

From the Kaiser Network Daily Reports (free, no subscription), we learn that the Washington Post and others are being forced to backtrack on an unethical press release.

I was wrong about the Medicare payment rules for Long Term Acute Care. The patient pays a copay for the middle part of the stay, … Continue reading

Not a Texas “Futile Care” Case?

I think our heart strings are being pulled for the wrong reasons in the case of a Dallas woman. I don’t believe that the case is covered by the Texas Advanced Care Act. I wonder whether the doc was forced to admit that Mrs. Webster is a “long term care patient” that has a chronic … Continue reading

Exciting (Ignored) Adult Stem Cell Stories

There’s better things to do than to arguing about whether Advanced Cell Technology really made embryonic stem cells and whether it’s worth millions of dollars if they did: how about learning about knee regeneration and finding a key to making adult stem cells work they way we want them to work, where they’re needed?
