Older Patients Are People Too I’m so pleased to read about medical schools adding courses in geriatrics that include hearing from and engaging with healthy seniors. When you are a clinician, you only see people when they are ill, so it’s easy to believe that the only type of senior citizens that exist are sick ones. So it’s critical to realize that mostly people are healthy and living full lives—even people who are in their 70’s, 80’s, and beyond! Dispelling the notion that seniors are ‘too old to treat,’ or ‘should expect to be tired, lazy or depressed,’ is critical to being a great doctor or nurse. Not long ago when my mother was ill and in a rehab unit, her doctor told her she only had a week or so to live. Her reply was ‘If you stay my doctor that’s true.’ She ignored his advice to get into Hospice care and she continued to live another 2 years. Selected Excerpt: “Unfortunately, most education takes place within the hospital,” he told me. “If you’re only seeing the hospitalized elderly, you’re seeing the debilitated, the physically deteriorating, the demented. It’s easy to pick up ageist stereotypes.” …see more

I've watched the whole evolution of Kardia devices from the beginning and I couldn't wait to test the new Kardia 6L device that allows a 6 lead-ECG measurement. It was easy to use, simple to set up and quick to finish the analysis. Just like in the case of any Kardia device before. I'm a real fan as they have managed to demonstrate how a digital health device should be designed and backed it up with a lot of studies. Kudos to the AliveCor Inc. Team and David Albert ! We will publish the full review on medicalfuturist.com on the 10th of December. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #ECG #health #healthy #fromchancetochoice …see more

The Wall Street Journal on the deal AMC Networks , the US movie chain, reached with creditors. Why am I circulating this you may ask. It is an interesting example of a debtor and creditors iterating to an outcomes that seeks to maintain financial viability and value in a challenged situation. The debtor gets a cash injection and debt reduction. In exchange, the creditors go up in seniority and, therefore, residual claim. https://lnkd.in/gQ_CvcZ …see more

Best way to think about this is in terms of the image of a pendulum describing the journey from one extreme (a fully normal-functioning economy) to the opposite extreme (nationwide lockdowns) to the current phase of “living with covid” (back and forth around an in-between point that needs time to become a stable). …see more

Apologies (and thank you for the heads up): Re-posting with the chart attached. Going back to a theme detailed over the last few weeks, here's a Bloomberg Markets chart illustrating the NASDAQ's relative out-performance. The relative moves make sense given balance sheets, cash generation and being on the sunny side of the post Covid-19 global economy. Overall levels are trickier. #markets #equities #stocks #economy #investing #nasdaq …see more

"I think the big thing is don't be afraid to fail. I think in our society today, Instagram, Twitter, it's a highlight reel. It's all the good things. And then when you look at it, you think like, wow, when you have a rough day or [you think] your life is not as good as that, you know, you're failing. You know, failure is a part of life. It's a part of building character and growing." --Nick Foles (Today's column: Fri.Feb 9.2018) #growth #mindset #leadership #management #EmotionalIntelligence #EQ #EI #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more
