Nobody is immune from needing help and my cause is two
fold here with both keeping the Medical Quack alive and well and to also look for a little help for some family medical bills. Mom had surgery and died about 4 weeks afterwards. I’m glad I was there during her surgery as I was not able to be there at the end. I miss her a lot. Hospice took good care of her through the end and if you ever need a great service as such in Phoenix, it’s called “Hospice of the Valley”, the best. For the next couple of weeks I may have some time to post a couple here and there but it will be light and not the normal amount of blog posts, and for a few days there may not be any new blog posts so bear with me and keep coming back. Thanks to all who take time to read the Medical Quack and I do hope I provide some value information. Barbara Duck
GoFundMe did not ask me to do this post or campaign and I thought I should mention that as this is my own person effort here, but again by publicizing the site it may also offer answers for others too.
I felt funny about putting this out there but you know what, Hollywood actresses are using it to help fund their cancer treatments too. Here’s an article on Karen Black with her cause.
We don’t
have as much expense as she does but we are in the same boat with Mom. Kate Bornstein is another cause and then there’s the little folks like me with small goals by comparison so if you can I appreciate it and will keep the Medical Quack going to hopefully keep information flowing.
Also there are victims from the Boston bomb incident that can maybe use a little help as well, one example here…Bucks for Bauman He was injured in the bomb blast.
Thank you so much

how this doesn’t work in the real world as patients and payers don’t have the money, as we have already algorithmically risked down to the penny so where’s the next math model going to go search? What’s left? Again what looks good in the software world doesn’t play out the same in the real world, especially in healthcare, the people business. In short, the models lied as they were constructed to generate profits and at some point in time when the array of data used runs out of cash, you can’t model it any more as it bottoms out. I think this is what we are now seeing. 
and the translation for some of it is something like this: Unintended consequences are the results with code that runs, collides and moves money as each profit center executes what they need with little regard or notice to how it reacts with other data. 
Again the formulas and math can and do clash with the real world so maybe time to give this a little more thought in business? It sounds good to me but I’m only one person and it takes maturity and a sense of realism instead of the rush for profit to make it work. You can’t take conflicting models and push them together and think you will have success as it’s a battle of the profit algorithms right now. Hospitals are tangibles and provide “human” services and there’s no way they can compete with the sometimes fantasy projections of other entities. As I said a while back 
mathematical models. I have not seen or heard much about what model he was programming for or exactly what area of their IT infrastructure he was in. There’s a good video that explains this with actual quants who model discuss how this works and another player who is programmer that want to be a quant. If you don’t understand this process it’s a great video and the only one I have found to where the layman can understand some of how the big banks and companies use math formulas to move money, as that’s what they do. The 
State Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel said the former programmer, Sergey Aleynikov, did not show that the charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr amounted to double jeopardy, or were part of a "vindictive prosecution" justifying dismissal.
happen with Unis-Tonghe licensing the technology using HL7 standards. The EMR system will populate the PHR system to include doctor’s notes, which we don’t always get all the records here in the US in our PHR. That’s a discussion for another day and has been on this blog before too. The company is also releasing their first HL7 connection with EHR company 4Medica in the US.
FDA but then a judge over ruled her. It was political and just a weird thing the way she played it out publicly I thought as the FDA works for HHS and that was in poor taste but the judge said it better than anyone else when he reversed that decision. 
he’s duped too and thinks that building a big data base might make him look like he’s doing something which he is, but go to talk to the people that build the models and they can tell him exactly how this works and how consumers interact with the software, duh? The algorithms are set to execute and with choices made they put out the data, what’s so difficult about this? Again the folks that build it know and it’s not going to vary much as algorithms do as they are programmed, it’s not a human. 
on their own dime to fix it, us, the consumers so they get free labor in essence there as well as we are all guilty with the data selling game. Again I’m just pointing out to help educate folks on what goes on so it’s your decision with devices and so you know up front that your data or profile will be sold and queried, it is what it is and then you get marketed to death! I expect a ton of it with my blog as yes I get tons and sift through the garbage but just be aware too that your opening a door for some of this yourself. 
data will be up for sale and who knows how far it will go and where it will appear and what analytics will be used to judge you as there’s nobody asking about the value of the complex analytics and big corporate profits are made this way. Great video at the link below that also explains from a former Quant on Wall Street who worked with

office and it is a permanent solution. Essure is the name of the product and it has been around for while. This was a bidding situation where Bayer won the bid and is paying a pretty good price for the company and Bayer has it’s own contraception products, Yaz for one so it would seem this company would be in the same product group.

percent in the first quarter. The planned acquisition comes at a time when sales of Leverkusen, Germany-based Bayer’s Yaz and Yasmin oral birth-control pills are falling because of competition from low-priced copies. Bayer also sells the Natazia pill and intrauterine devices such as Mirena. 
Ditto, the small company states they had their patent covered and the subsidiary of WellPoint, 1-800 Contacts is suing them in court and will probably kill the small company. Ditto has even asked to license it, and you don’t get much better than that as you still get money for goodness sakes. Glasses.com the subsidiary of 1-800 contacts, the subsidiary of WellPoint bought a patent years ago and filed the lawsuit at the same time they brought out their 3D software for glasses. You can read the entire article at the bottom link but normally lawsuits only end up when licensing won’t take place for the most part, so again is this the big guy against the little guy here over glasses software?

They found the metastatic cells were softer and could squeeze through smaller spaces. The same cell lines were used by all. Of course this is the most dangerous part of cancer when metastasis takes place. From what I am reading in the entire article they of course seem to be unfortunately heartier and work with less oxygen. They also move slower and farther in a straight line. Metastasis with cancer cells as we know is responsible for most deaths from cancer and the more they can find out and perhaps find a treatment for the cells, well the closer we get to solving cancer.

development and wanted to “hold things in his hand” so this is combination process of using software with some type of “manufactured” product, so it’s not just software alone being produced and who knows some of the inventions here could end up bringing jobs and new companies along. With access to both tools and technology it really opens up many opportunities. Dodocase was one product that was created at TechShop. 
medications to kill patients in several hospitals. Somerset hospital was where he was finally caught. The nurse was sentenced a few years ago and this is the history and story of how it all went down after several patients were killed. They also used a nurse who worked to help catch him. 
there are no bodies, etc. Scary how he just moved from one hospital to another. He was a critical care nurse. The manufacturer was the one who stated that records were held more than 30 days and Somerset had initially stated that was as far back as the records went. BD 
with your prescription purchases and have yet one more profile. I have a friend who’s going through the same stuff being over marketed with diabetes information as she did a few searches, etc. for friend on the web and now she’s stuck will the US mail plus email marketing crap that comes in. 
as you can hire quants that can tell you and sure wish he would have gone to coding school or we had someone in his position who did. We need more than just an executive building a data base to show he’s doing something, again when you don’t have any tech background you do dumb things like that as you don’t have data mechanic logic and probably have some staff members that do and might be getting kick backs to keep him moving in this direction…
but the marketing out there today is more of a turn off than ever and I pay very little attention to most of it. It’s just garbage running off servers and finding it’s way to my inbox or phone. Even on a lot of the consumer mobile apps and others coming out where I get solicited, my first thoughts are really not in value of the app anymore either and my first focus is what are they trying to sell me and what kind of data are they scraping or mining and selling for profit. I still look and do cover what I think is valuable but junk is winning out today over value based on the volume and items that end up in my inbox. In the US seniors get it too and if I’m complaining and I know about the mechanics of it, look what seniors have to put up with, read the link below. 
patients who have the implant are fine and do not need to worry. Stents in the leg area are more rugged and have stealthier builds than one for the heart area obviously as the legs move and the heart is stationary. The risk on the delivery system is very small but all are being recalled and the stent itself is ok. It’s the catheter that has a small potential to break. BD
