As we've explained in previous episodes, insurance is complicated. Even John gets confused (watch the video!). But there's a reason we have all these deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance. It's because of the moral hazard, and a very important research study known as the RAND Health Insurance Experiment. Watch this episode and learn all about it.

Antibiotics are one of the greatest medical innovations ever, responsible for saving something like a gazillion lives. But today, we're worried about overusing them, and there are concerns that one day they won't really work anymore. There are lots of misconceptions about antibiotics, and in this week's episode we're going to tackle a lot of them. Make sure you subscribe above so you don't miss any upcoming episodes!

Even though the original big paper on this topic came out at the end of the last century, the anger this causes is still raw and potent. But there is a very, very large amount of research showing that vaccines and autism are unrelated. Please, watch the video before you jump down my throat.

Healthcare Triage #13 We are seeing a lot of changes recently as to what we are "allowed" to eat. When the FDA decided to get rid of trans fats, I applauded. When New York City tried to ban sodas bigger than 16 ounces, though, I booed. Why is this not hypocritical? Watch and find out. Make sure you subscribe above so you don't miss any upcoming episodes!

Many of my friends and family will only touch organic food. That's their right, and I don't try to fight with them. I sometimes get uncomfortable, though, when they make claims about organic food that just aren't supported by data and evidence. Moreover, I think arguing with anyone who is attempting to eat more fruits and vegetables that theirs are in some way "not good enough" is counter-productive.

Our episode on Organic food was a hit, but lots of you had questions in the comments asking about the safety of artificial sweeteners. We live to serve, so this week's episode is about the research in that area. These chemicals get a bad rap, but you might be surprised by what you learn by watching. Send your hate tweets to Aaron.

One of the things that baffles me about people is how they completely misunderstand risk. Lots of my friends panic about things that have no real chance of killing them, but ignore the things that will. This can lead us to make irrational decisions, and sometimes irrational policy.

You can download a free book of your choice at http://www.audible.com/triage. If something has a benefit, and no harms, then you should likely use it. But if something has no benefits, and potentially real harms, then you shouldn't. The latter is the case with antibacterial soap. Although the stuff is ubiquitous, there's tons of data showing it doesn't do what it's supposed to, while possibly damaging us and the environment. Watch this week's episode to learn about the difference between efficacy and effectiveness, why bacterial counts really don't matter here, and why the FDA made the right call.

Does anyone really think there's something magical about five seconds when it comes to food and the floor? There's a press release out this week (I still can't find the study) that claims that the five second rule is "real". It isn't. If bacteria are going to transfer, they do it fast. Plus, there is no evidence at all that actual health is affected by the time food sits on the floor. Watch Aaron recoil at both bologna and the mangling of science in this week's episode.

Readers of Aaron's blog know of his beef with the milk industrial complex. Why does milk, of all beverages, get a pass in our efforts to reduce everyone's caloric intake?

Does a positive test mean that you have a disease? Does a negative test mean you're healthy? Unfortunately, the answer to both these questions isn't a definitive "yes". How good a test is depends on it's sensitivity and specificity. Learn about both, and why understanding these test characteristics is so important. Next week we'll talk about what this all means in part II of this series, The Bayes Theorem. The Vermont Study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3611728/ John Green -- Executive Producer Stan Muller -- Director, Producer Aaron Carroll -- Writer Mark Olsen - Graphics http://www.twitter.com/aaronecarroll http://www.twitter.com/crashcoursestan http://www.twitter.com/realjohngreen http://www.twitter.com/olsenvideo
Last week we discussed test characteristics like sensitivity and specificity. This week, we'll talk about how those concepts get used in actual medical decision making. At least, we'll talk about how they're supposed to be used. You'll learn about Bayes' Theorem, too! Don't let the equations scare you. You're going to learn a ton.

There's just no way to talk about marijuana without someone completely misinterpreting what I say. Some of you are going to call me a fascist for saying anything bad about pot. Others are going to attack me for not coming down on it hard enough. But the truth of the matter is that many things that are far more dangerous than pot are totally legal in this country. That's not my opinion, it's what scientific studies show us. No one is saying marijuana is totally safe. But is it so bad for you that it should be illegal, even though it has benefits? Watch and decide. Happy weed day.

But as with a lot of research, it's being totally misinterpreted by the media. Go check out the references to see a nice article where the author of the study says the same thing.

We've covered the United States and Canada. today, we cross the Atlantic to discuss the healthcare System in France. Their system is a combination of universal social insurance with some optional private overlays. It's expensive (relative to most), but it's arguably the best in the world. Watch and learn why.

Everyone just knows that violence is on the rise, especially among kids. Everyone just knows that violent video games have something to do with it. Except violence isn't on the rise, as we showed in our "Sky isn't falling episode". And there's really no evidence that video games are the cause of violence anyway. Step away from my video games!

We thought about doing myths about Moms, but that might get us in trouble. "Mothers-to-be" aren't as dangerous, at least not to any of us making these videos. So this week we present a whole bunch of pregnancy myths. It's amazing how many of those exist. If you learn one thing this week, let it be that if you have a sperm anywhere near an egg - YOU CAN GET PREGNANT. Enjoy.

We've done the US, Canada, and France. None of them are really socialized healthcare systems. To get at that, we need to go look at a system like that of the UK. More specifically, we're going to talk about England's National Health Service. See what a real "government run" system looks like, how it compares to yours, and what's good (and not so good) about it.

In past episodes, I've talked about how accidents are the number one killer of children, and how car accidents represent a fairly large part of accidents in general. In response, a number of you asked me why we don't reduce the speed limits of many roads nationwide in an attempt to bring that number down. I'm glad you asked. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare triage.

For better or for worse, whenever many are asked about how they would help control spending in the US health-care system, tort reform always seems to be one of the first things offered as a solution. That's because there's a malpractice crisis! And tort reform will cure it! Except, neither of those things is really true. Watch and learn why not.

Since our first episode, you've begged us to cover Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs. Honestly, I often can't tell if those of you who are asking us to do this expect us to tell you're they're awesome of the worst thing to happen to humanity. Ever. This is one of those topics people feel so passionately about, that I'm guaranteed to make a lot of you angry, no matter what I say. But we never let that stop us.

Singapore is a small city-state that likely isn't as well known to you as some of the other countries we've discussed before. But they've got one of the most fascinating health care systems around. It's cheap, it's pretty much universal, and it achieves some amazingly strong outcomes. It's also much different in structure than other systems we've covered before. Watch and learn - you'll be glad you did. If you want to learn more, there's pretty much only one book you need to read. It's short, it's awesome, and it's still free in Kindle format. It's called Affordable Excellence: The Singapore Health System, and you can get a copy here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CDUS7WS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CDUS7WS&linkCode=as2&tag=dotswyogu-20 John Green -- Executive Producer Stan Muller -- Director, Producer Aaron Carroll -- Writer Mark Olsen -- Graphics http://www.twitter.com/aaronecarroll http://www.twitter.com/crashcoursestan http://www.twitter.com/realjohngreen http://www.twitter.com/olsenvideo

One of the problems with the way we discuss health interventions is that we see them in black and white. Something is either good for you or bad for you. Things are rarely that simple, though. Moreover, there's "good for you" and "GOOD FOR YOU". How do you tell the difference? Watch and learn. Almost all of the data for this came from the amazing website TheNNT (http://thennt.com).

Last week, we discussed the NNT, or number needed to treat. I'm sure it made a lot of you upset to realize that many therapies you've been sold as "awesome" were, in fact, somewhat incremental with respect to benefits. But another problem is that a lot of those therapies are anything but benign. They come not only with costs, but also with side effects or problems. We can quantify harms, too.

The last international health care system we covered – Singapore – got a great response from all of you. This week. We head back to Europe. Specifically, we're going to Germany. Their universal health care system is based on the principles of Bismark, which say that the state should provide only for those unable to provide for themselves. It's a private insurance system, and it's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

In the last few years the rates of vaccine preventable illness have been on the rise. This isn't just something that's happening in the United States – it's happening throughout the world. Often, these outbreaks begin with unvaccinated people. They spread through them, too. Outbreaks occur because of a breakdown in herd immunity. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

The news is full these days of advances in phones and personal devices that will allow us to track and share more and more information about our health. The latest big announcement came from Apple, not long ago, when they announced a partnership with Epic Systems, which is one of the biggest purveyors of electronic medical records around. Each time I see one of these announcements, it's accompanied by a claim about how any day now, patients are going to be able to share all their amazing data with physicians, and how that's going to change everything. Except it's probable not going to. Why? Watch and learn. Much of this is adapted from a piece Aaron wrote for the NYT.

Healthcare Triage is almost one year old. To celebrate, we're going to give you… more Healthcare Triage. Two episodes a week. Monday will be a traditional episode, full of all the detail and knowledge you've come to expect. But a second episode, on Friday, will be more of a newsy episode. We're going to cover topics that have been floating around social media and your favorite websites. It's Healthcare Triage News. Today's episode is about Ebola and salt. Enjoy!

This is another one of those videos that I expect many of you to hate. Gluten is surprisingly polarizing. Of course, most of the evidence that many of you will throw at me are anecdotes. And we all know that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data". So let's talk about gluten, and whether a gluten-free diet is for you. "Spoiler" – for the vast majority of you, the answer is "no".

You've probably heard of "evidence-based medicine". It's the idea that we practice based on research and data. There's another way of practicing called "eminence-based medicine". It's the idea that we listen to the person who's been around the longest or who has somehow managed to be labelled the expert. It used to be that such a person would periodically get to write a review article in some journal, and that would be how everyone learned what to do in medicine. That's a problem. We've got a solution. Systematic reviews!

This week's news are on topics everyone loves: sex, food, and cars. But the details may not be what you expect. The last segment is so important, we may address it in more detail in a Monday HCT episode soon.

Last week we discussed systematic reviews, and why they're better than review articles, or opinions. But they're not the only types of "studies of studies" I've presented to you. Sometimes you can go a step further. After you've collected all the appropriate studies, you can merge the data together and do one large analysis. Those studies are called meta-analyses, and they're the subject of today's Healthcare Triage For those of you who want to read more or see references, look here: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/?p=57918 John Green -- Executive Producer Stan Muller -- Director, Producer Aaron Carroll -- Writer Mark Olsen -- Graphics http://www.twitter.com/aaronecarroll http://www.twitter.com/crashcoursestan http://www.twitter.com/realjohngreen http://www.twitter.com/olsenvideo
According to my Facebook and twitter feeds this week, everyone seems to be in a panic. Too many of you are worried that if the respiratory virus plaguing the Midwest doesn't get you, Ebola will.

If you've been paying attention to recent news, you might think that we're entering a time when leaps forward in health care only happen at great expense. That misses the point. It also, once again, confirms the incorrect impression that we can only make leaps through advances in technology. As I said in previous episodes, people are more important than technology. To illustrate this point, we'll discuss the guinea worm. This is adapted from a piece Aaron wrote for the NYT.

I'm a doctor. My father is a doctor. My colleagues are doctors, the people I train are doctors, lots and lots of my friends are doctors. But that doesn't meant that doctors sometimes aren't blind to certain issues like their own financial conflicts of interest. Sometimes we have to poke doctors with a stick. That's how we show our love. Conflicts of interest are the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode is adapted from Aaron's NYT piece on the topic.

The latest Kaiser Family Foundation survey on employer sponsored health insurance focused on the fact that growth in premiums in 2013 was as low as it has ever been in the 16 years of the survey. And that's awesome. Health insurance premiums have been rising more quickly than we'd like for a long time. But buried in the details of the report were some interesting insights into how employers think about controlling health care costs. One example is that they're very fond of workplace wellness programs. This is surprising, because while such programs sound great, research shows they rarely work as advertised. Watch and learn!

Just over a year ago, Healthcare Triage's first video was on the opening of the exchanges mandated by the Affordable Care Act, and what people in the US should do about that. It's a year later, and we thought you might enjoy an update. How are things going with the ACA, or Obamacare? What's changing? What do you need to be worried about now? We'll answer all that, and more, on this week's Healthcare Triage.

http://store.dftba.com/collections/healthcare-triage In order for a drug to be approved by the FDA, it must prove itself better than a placebo, or fake drug. But when it comes to medical devices and surgery, the requirements aren't the same. Placebos aren't required. That is likely a mistake. On the other hand, how might placebos work in surgery? It actually turns out that fake, or "sham" procedures, have been around for quite some time. And, they're important. Watch this episode and learn.

The best way to prevent transmission of Ebola in the United States, or any country for that matter, is to identify and quarantine those with the disease as soon as possible. However, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the US was, unfortunately, released after coming to an emergency department, even though he had symptoms indicative of the disease. He was sent home on antibiotics. The inappropriate use of antibiotics is the subject of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was based heavily on a piece I wrote for the Upshot, which you can go read here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/21/upshot/on-an-antibiotic-you-may-be-getting-only-a-false-sense-of-security.html.

When we are judging the cost-effectiveness of a treatment or intervention, we're really asking how much bang for the buck we're getting for our healthcare spending. That can be relatively easy when we're talking about life and death. But how do we measure improvements in quality?

Last week I talked to you about dietary cholesterol, and how the existing randomized controlled trials warned us that they wouldn't work. Now, it appears those guidelines might be changed, decades later. Cholesterol isn't the only recommendation that is controversial. So are the ones on fat. Prepare to get annoyed.

You can own Healthcare Triage merchandise! http://dft.ba/-HCTmerch The Affordable Care Act in the US, like most health care reform efforts, focuses on uninsurance. That's fine, as people without insurance do face significant problems accessing the healthcare system in the United States. But underinsurance is a real issue, too, and it's often ignored. Underinsurance is the topic of the week's Healthcare Triage.
One of the most common things you all seem obsessed about is supplements. I get questions from Healthcare Triage viewers all the time. You're obsessed.

In previous episodes of Healthcare Triage, we've discussed how people often misunderstand risk and how it affects them. We've also talked about how you can calculate the explicit metrics of numbers needed to treat and harm. But people rarely use them. In spite of the existence of metrics to help patients appreciate benefits and harms, a new systematic review suggests that our expectations are not consistent with the facts. Most patients overestimate the benefits of medical treatments, and underestimate the harms; because of that, they use more care. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This piece was based largely on a column Aaron and Austin Frakt wrote for the Upshot at the NYT. References can be found there: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/03/upshot/if-patients-only-knew-when-more-information-means-less-treatment.html John Green -- Executive Producer Stan Muller -- Director, Producer Aaron Carroll -- Writer Mark Olsen -- Graphics http://www.twitter.com/aaronecarroll http://www.twitter.com/crashcoursestan http://www.twitter.com/johngreen http://www.twitter.com/olsenvideo

Whenever I give a talk on the sorry state of the US health care system, someone asks me what we should do. My first comment is always something along the lines of "if we knew what to do, we'd have already done it". But if I'm pushed, I will usually note that the best first step would be for us to stop doing things that don't work. There's an organization dedicated to that. It's called Choosing Wisely. It's also the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

A couple of weeks ago, Mark Cuban got into an interesting debate with much of the health wonk Twitter community (including me) over whether more lab testing is better. It began when he advocated that everyone get quarterly lab testing. While I'm a fan of Cuban's Shark Tank, and I respect his business acumen immensely, there are a couple of things wrong with this. It's worth discussing them in detail. We're going to do that here today, on Healthcare Triage.

We're raising money to make the show sustainable, and you can help. http://www.patreon.com/healthcaretriage I spend a lot of time writing and talking about what isn't true. Over the past few months, we've had lots of episodes talking about how many nutrition recommendations aren't supported by science. I've argued that what many people are telling you may be inaccurate. In response, lots of you have asked me what nutrition recommendations should say. The truth is that it's much easier to tell you what not to do, than to tell you what to do. But we don't avoid the hard questions. Recently I shared my nutrition recommendations over at the Upshot at the New York Times, and they were surprisingly popular. So I'm going to share them with you, here on Healthcare Triage You should go read that piece, which all of this is based on.

But sensitivity and specificity don't have a meaning that people usually understand. What people want to know are other values, what we might call the positive predictive and negative predictive values. But there are problems with those metrics.

When I was a kid, my parents refused to let me drink coffee because they believed it would "stunt my growth". It turns out, of course, this is a myth.

You may have heard of a recent study published in JAMA that once again confirmed that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is not related to autism. I just met the author of the study at a recent meeting, and she told me that the study is evidently the number one most downloaded from JAMA. Ever. The study's findings, widely covered in the media, are considered robust and important. But it may be time to question how much good continued research in this area is doing.

Have you ever taken an over the counter medication for heartburn? How about an antibiotic for an ear infection? At some point pretty much all of us have visited a pharmacy to pick up a drug, but likely didn't consider where these drugs come from or how they are made.

"Female Viagra" and regular or "male" Viagra were both originally investigated as treatments for conditions other than sexual dysfunction. Viagra came out of studies on hypertension, and "female Viagra" for depression. But… that's where most of the similarities end. How so? Let's discuss.

So, obesity is a serious problem. And it does drive up health care costs in the US. But, and we know this seems counterintuitive, weight loss doesn't necessarily bring down health care costs.

Why do doctors get sued? How can malpractice suits be avoided? It turns out, the answer may be simple. Defensive medicine refers to the idea that doctors are forced to order extra tests, perform extra procedures, or push for more office visits because they think that without them, they're at greater risk for being sued. This is in spite of the fact that studies don't support the notion that this extra care actually does reduce their risk. What might help physicians to get sued less often would be for them to get along better with their patients. Or at least, they could become better communicators. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was based on a piece Aaron wrote for the NYT.

What are the benefits of exercise? Is exercise all that good for you? Yes, yes, and yes. Studies overwhelmingly indicate that exercise has a LOT of benefits. I wrote a piece on exercise and weight for The New York Times a couple months ago, and I'm going to talk about that next week. But a lot of people took that column to mean that exercise isn't important or helpful. That's so wrong that I want to address that first.

Any evidence for it? 22:15 - Is there strong evidence for a causal link between whole grains and heart health? If so, what is it about the

When it comes to disparities research, I sometimes get angry at researchers that we're still spending so much time with studies pointing out disparities in medicine and so little time doing anything about them. I mean, is there anyone out there who denies that there are racial disparities in how we treat patients, that would change their mind if they just saw one more study? I think not.

What is alternative medicine? Does alternative medicine work? The University of Toronto recently stirred up a bit of controversy by uncritically offering a class on "Alternative Medicine." When people looked at the coursework, which included many studies debunked by this channel, some people started to freak out. The issue highlights a much larger problem: No one is sure how best to teach that subject. The dichotomy, however, between alternative and traditional medicine, or between Eastern and Western medicine, is a false one. We would be much better off if we could reframe the issue. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was based on a post I wrote for the Upshot.

How much water should you drink every day? Not as much as you've been told. This summer, like many summers before it, has seen a rash of articles warning us not only that is dehydration is dangerous, but that it is also ubiquitous. Real dehydration, when your body has lost a significant amount of water because of illness, excessive exercise or sweating, or an inability to drink, is a serious issue. But people with clinical dehydration almost always have symptoms of some sort. These reports are worried about something completely different. They fear that otherwise healthy adults and children are walking around dehydrated, so many that dehydration has reached epidemic proportions. Under scrutiny, however, this assertion fails to hold water. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was based on a piece Aaron wrote for the Upshot a while ago.

In this diet the food you eat has a direct impact on the efficiency of your metabolism and your overall health.

It's also worth remembering that education is kind of economically weird. It's not just another thing you buy. Education isn't only about individual gain. There's a social aspect as well.

Have you heard the scary news reports of how people are going to taint kids' candy with pot now that it's getting more legal? There's… no evidence for that. There's also no evidence that strangers poison kids' Halloween candy in general. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. Aaron covers this every year on his blog. Here's last year's post: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/strangers-poisoning-kids-halloween-candy-is-a-myth/ It was also covered in his first book on medical myths: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/031253387X?ie=UTF8&tag=dotswyogu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=031253387X John Green -- Executive Producer Stan Muller -- Director, Producer Aaron Carroll -- Writer Mark Olsen -- Graphics http://www.twitter.com/aaronecarroll http://www.twitter.com/crashcoursestan http://www.twitter.com/johngreen http://www.twitter.com/olsenvideo And the housekeeping: 1) You can support Healthcare Triage on Patreon: http://vid.io/xqXr Every little bit helps make the show better! 2) Check out our Facebook page: http://goo.gl/LnOq5z 3) We still have merchandise available at http://www.hctmerch.com

Who names drugs? Why all the funny names? A number of months ago, we did an episode on how a drug comes to market with the help of out HCT intern, pharmD student Rachel Hoffman. She also helped us out with our episode on Flibanserin. We get a lot of questions from you about drugs. What's the difference between a generic and name brand drug? How do people feel about them? What's the difference with biologics? With her help, we're going to tackle those in the upcoming weeks. Let's start at the beginning. What's in a name? That which we call a drug. By any other name would be so . . . effective? Brand name and generic drugs: are there any differences? Who regulates them? And what's with all the names anyway? That's the topic of today's HealthCare Triage.

Earlier this week, we covered the difference between brand name and generic drugs. To be honest, we taped that episode a few weeks ago. It takes us some time to work out magic, add graphics, and wind up with the HCT you know and love. But last week, HCT intern and pharmacologic expert Rachel Hoffman emailed me about a new study on brand versus generic labeling and its effect on how well drugs work. It was too late to get it into Monday's episode, but not too late to discuss it here.

Just a few weeks ago, a study was published in the Journal of Nutrition that many reports in the news media said proved that honey was no better than sucrose as a sweetener, and that high-fructose corn syrup was no worse.

When people hear about vaccine denial, they most often think about parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children. But there's another type of vaccine refusal, and it's important that we not ignore that, too. Doctors sometimes promote the use of some vaccines with less enthusiasm than others. Sometimes, they don't talk about them at all. This occurs most often with the herpes simplex virus, or HPV, vaccine. Our suboptimal immunization rates with this vaccine, and the behaviors of the physicians who might be contributing to that, have consequences. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This is based largely off a post Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

Americans remain very overweight. According to the CDC, about 38% were obese in 2014, meaning that they had a body mass index of at least 30, compared to 32% just a decade ago. This is in spite of massive efforts to try and get people in the United States to eat more healthily. Policymakers continue to believe that this is a problem of information dissemination. One obvious solution, therefore, is to give people calorie counts of what they are eating in restaurants. Recent mandates have directed that by the end of next year, calorie labeling will be required on all menus in chair restaurants in the US. It is assumed that once Americans know what they are eating, they will eat less, or at least more health consciously. Will they? New data exist! That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was based on a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

TIMECODE (thanks to SmokyBirch): 1:06 - Is there any good data to support avoiding nitrates? I've been checking every lunchmeat label trying to avoid them (without much success), and I wonder if it isn't just another panic-du-jour? 3:15 - What are sulfites and why is there a "contains sulfites" warning on my wine bottle? 4:57 - I have heard of and seen ads for some DNA test services from companies like Ancestry and "23 and me". What's your opinion on these? Are they accurate and worth it? 6:34 - My in-laws tell me that drinking cold things while eating food with oils and fats will cause them to solidify and give me a heart attack. I think that's wrong, but how do I explain? 7:55 - What is your opinion on the value of the Coronary Calcium Scan test? 9:52 - I have Macrophage Activation syndrome, and I was wondering if you knew of any studies or information on it, like how often does it flare, how rare it is, what helps control it and life expectancy of those who have it etc? Really appreciate it thank you! 11:13 - What are your thoughts on sleep training and research-based best practice that you recommend to parents? 14:46 - What are your thoughts on people taking medicine to treat mild to moderate fever when a fever is the body's natural immune response? Any evidence to support that taking meds to suppress fever is bad? 16:33 - Risks or benefits to cleaning my ears with Q-tips? I like clean earbuds & end up removing orange wax from my ears about once a week. Is this safe as long as I don't go too deep? 17:39 - Are there any studies on health risks of being underweight? Is it just as bad as being overweight or better? 18:51 - Do you have an opinion on how likely Zika virus is to be causing microcephaly? Specifically that reported baseline rate of microcephaly in Brazil (~150/3 million births) is statistically impossible. 20:18 - What is the difference between a DO and MD degree? What is your opinion on osteopathy? An acquaintance I

What is Zika? Should you be afraid? We try not to fall into the trap of discussing the "panic du jour" on Healthcare Triage, but sometimes people are concerned about things they should be concerned about. But it's still important for that level of concern to mirror the actual threat. For many viewers, the Zika virus hold pretty much no threat at all. But not all. It's really a problem, and we want you to be informed. The Zika virus is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

00:36 - Is there any research on of there are any health benefits with coconut oil? 1:16 - Are there any high quality research on the efficacy of ketogenic diets in adults to aid in seizure control? 3:23 - What do you think of this? Ketamines use in drug resistant depression. 5:13 - Is there any research to show if the graphic anti-smoking ads being effective? If so, could the same principle be applied to other unhealthy habits such as tanning? 9:10 - Like many people, I am watching events in Flint Michigan with horror. There is a lot of talk about how the lead exposure is going to effect the kids. I wonder if you could explain some of the science behind this, and what medical and other help those kids might benefit from. 11:35 - My daughter drinks one cup of a caffeinated tea every morning (think very weak black tea, only with more sugar) because it (quote) "Makes waking up so much easier". Is that much harmful? Should I consider getting one with no caffeine? 14:13 - Is there any research on "leaky gut syndrome" or is it all made up? 15:26 - Does blue light from cell phones really hurt sleep? 16:17 - My 2yo daughter has been sent home for stuff like excema and dry skin, and I'm wondering if the school's ANY rash = get sent home policy is evidence-based. 18:38 - Lack of agricultural research funding: How big of a public health issue? 19:47 - What are you thoughts on the new anticoagulants (rivaroxaban, apixaban, etc) that focus on less monitoring vs the older types like warfarin? Is that an effective strategy to have more resilient drugs? 22:00 - How long is a cold contagious for? I've been sick for 10 days and I'll be visiting someone on chemo this weekend. I don't want to get them sick, of course! 23:35 - (there was a glitch here with the livestream) You said your kids go to bed early is there any advantage or disadvantage of them going to be later.

While we have discussed the dangerous effects of alcohol abuse and misuse, that doesn't mean it's always bad. Besides being part of many complex and delicious beverages, there are any number of studies which show that alcohol is linked to health benefits. That doesn't mean it's all good news, either, or that the evidence is a slam dunk. There's certainly enough, though, to warrant a thorough review. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Next week's episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C02CuZGFhZw TIMECODE: 1:32 - Are the health benefits of fatty foods like nuts, fish, & olive oil relative to other fatty foods or good replacements for any equivalent calorie. 3:23 - In observance of Ash Wednesday, many Catholics fast. What can one expect from a 24 hour fasting period? What about longer? 5:14 - I know that acetaminophen is bad for your liver, but I've heard lately (from a coworker) that ibuprofen is worse. What does the research say? 6:51 - Should we get tested for homocysteine and C-reactive protein for markers of inflammation and heart disease? 8:11 - As a medic I frequently hear that medical treatment in the service is abysmal, especially when it comes to treatment of chronic pain. Are there studies on this? Also, what's wrong with the VA? Why does it take so long for them to respond to a claim, and how effective is the treatment they provide? 11:15 - Naproxen or Ibuprofen? Which I use for what? A follow up to this question Both are readily available OTC NSAIDS in North America. Ibuprofen is definitely more popular. Why would I want to choose one over the other? 13:38 - What is your opinion on the CDC's new recommendation that ALL women not on birth control abstain from alcohol? 17:05 - Hi there, would you be able to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of using intention to treat vs. per protocol analyses in health research? Is one better than the other? 20:55 - What does the research say about various drugs used to treat anxiety disorders? Is there any evidence that antidepressants are effective at treating anxiety 22:27 - What would be the ramifications of the common Republican proposal to allow buying/selling insurance across state lines 26:52 - Got an MRI for monocular diplopia. Apparently a pinhole could just as easily have told them it wasn't neural (stroke, etc.). Would another country's system have denied the MRI? Have I been pampered? 2

Next week's LIVE show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0xr3Y0ENn4 https://www.reddit.com/r/HCTriage/ This week's questions: 2:42 - How much sun exposure warrants sunscreen? What about artificial lighting? I know some of that emits UV too? 3:51 - I sit a lot for long periods. After watching your video on how bad stagnation is, I've started to set a 30 minute timer to remind me to knock that off. Is static stretching and a little bit of walking around fine, or should I do something more engaging? 4:57 - Could you please tell my friend that MSG is not bad for her? 6:54 - My parents are terrified of electromagnetic "radiation" or "electrical pollution" but I'm not. What studies are actually out there? 10:12 - Does microwaving food cause it to lose nutrients? 11:33 Laser health therapy: medicine or quackery? 13:26 - How do we balance the skyrocketing national costs of end of life care with the need for societal compassion? 14:45 - What data exist on the use of SSRIs for a period of several years or more? Is it a bad idea, or OK to stay on them to prevent relapse? 16:56 - Is it that people who don't drink enough water get kidney stones and thus need to drink more, or is it that some people have a predisposition to getting kidney stones and need to drink more water to counter that? 18:46 - What do you think of chiropractors that claim they can "scientifically" prevent SIDS with their adjustments in newborns? 20:26 - Could eating a variety of herbs and spices on a regular basis lead to better health/nutrition, or are the studies on this topic overblown? 21:45 - What do you think about eating high fiber foods? Do you support a high-fiber diet? 22:52 - Is there any research out there about the effectiveness of Telemedicine? How do you feel about it? 24:10 - My recent roommate insists that her immune system is compromised and that she cannot shower before bed because if she sleeps will wet hair she will catch a cold. Please explain why this is SO wrong
When Aaron was an intern, or a first-year doctor in training, he knew something was wrong with him. He had trouble sleeping. He had difficulty feeling joy. He was prone to crying at inopportune times. Even worse, he had trouble connecting with patients. He felt like he couldn't please anyone, and he found himself susceptible to feelings of despair and panic. He wasn't alone. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was adapted from a column Aaron wrote at The Upshot.

Master Questions List: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dk-KPVNfkzC1R4YDDF69Fn1Z4KcPxTl5Whis_VtNnDU/edit?usp=drive_web This week's questions: 1:08 - When we get food takeaways, often we don't know if the cook is sick or hasn't washed his hands. Is microwaving the food to high temperature be the most practical way to kill germ/virus? For how long? 2:28 - Is there any evidence on drinking water while eating dinner or lunch is not beneficial to digestion? If so, when should you drink water after a meal? 4:00 - A close relative to me asked my doctor (who happens to be also theirs) about my health. The doctor answered them. Is the doctor wrong? 5:30 - Circumcision have significant health benefits if so, does the EU experience worth health outcomes because of lower rates of circumcision. 9:01 - My primary doctor repeatedly suggested I take prescription diet pills for weight loss during my first physical with them. Is this normal? Are diet pills actually effective for weight loss? 10:18 - I was looking for evidence about this and found one study that looked at 3000 some odd SIDS deaths and found something like 75% of them were cosleeping... but this stat seems irrelevant to me. Isn't such a stat completely confounded by the percentage of infants cosleeping vs not? Don't we need to compare the rates of cosleeping infants who get SIDS to the percent of back in bassinet ones that are? (Aaron mentions a Indiana television commercial that aired many years back. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivNYTcazdiA) 14:29 - I follow basic precautions to avoid getting sick. I wash my hands before I eat and before touching my face. Some friends say this is bad for my immune system, because I'm not exposing myself to normal levels of pathogens. They imply I'll either develop an autoimmune disease because my immune system doesn't have enough foreign pathogens to fight off, or I will not develop immunity to common diseases, and I'll get sick more often.

Lately, I've become a target for people who like to tell me that "I'm doing nutrition" wrong. Evidently, some people don't agree with my plea, "Don't judge" when it comes to what others eat. One of the things that horrifies my friends is that I don't eat breakfast. I'm just not hungry in the morning. A cup of coffee, and that's all I need until lunch. I've been that way for decades. This means that I'm subjected to periodic lectures on how breakfast is "the most important meal of the day". Yeah, that's a myth. It's also the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Aaron has three kids, age 14, 12, and almost 10. They're awesome, if I do say so myself. So he's not one of those people who thinks that kids are going to hell in a hand basket. If you read mass media, however, you'd think that kids were the worst we've ever seen. It's like everyone is that proverbial old man shaking his fist at the sky, shouting "get off my lawn!"

Our internet was very unreliable today--sorry! We're drilling a hole through the floor this week to connect ourselves to an ethernet jack to hopefully cut down on the skipping for next time. Here's a master list of questions we've asked in the past: http://ow.ly/Zy7W6 Next LIVE Show (Mar. 30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hzTV3bbjPU 0:59 Amber necklaces? I have a few a friends recommending these for our teething child. I keep thinking choking and strangulation hazard. Thoughts? 2:35 In The Martian, Mark Watney survives for a long time on just potatoes, water, and vitamins. Probably not a great idea, but is it possible? How long before you'd run into major medical issues? 3:33 How do you know when to have a mole checked out? Is it better to get a suspicious mole checked out sooner or can it wait? 4:19 I see quite a few questions on HTC Live starting with some sort of diet, drink, supplement, or activity, and ending with the question: is this thing better for me? AC seems to unerringly answer these questions with no, because there are no studies linking these things to positive differences in health outcomes. My problem is that I think these people don't really want to know how these things affect disease and death which are measurable health outcomes, but more difficult metrics like mood, comfort, and energy. These things are a big part of how we actually feel on a daily basis, but is there any way to actually study these things and what decisions have an impact on them? If there was, would we be less susceptible to all the products that claim to make us "feel better"? I would love to see this addressed on an HTC Live. 7:55 Does Neosporin actually speed up healing and/or reduce scarring for small wounds? 8:52 I'm learning about health care and systems in the states. I know that the creation of Medicare and Medicaid had an enormous impact on hospitalization rates in the U.S. (more old people/those in need acquired paid access), which also set the b

When one of Aaron's best friends in medical school returned from an interview for a surgical residency program, he told him how some of the surgeons there bragged that they were worked so hard that the divorce rate among their trainees was greater than 100 percent - some of them burned through two marriages. They were proud of this. Aaron was horrified. He doubts this statistic was true, even 20 years ago, and he's even surer it's not true now. But it points to an important truth: Some physicians equate "suffering" with "commitment" and believe that a residency should be grueling and difficult. The limits on how we train residents, and what new studies say about it is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Aaron is part of a weekly gaming group. Most of the time it's role playing games, although board games come into play as well. Most of the participants are doctors. We have a group text that we officially use to schedule, but unofficially it's the way that we share news stories about medicine that drive us insane. It's unfortunate that these gaming-group group-text (which is seriously one of the most qualified, educated, and thought-provoking feeds that only eight people get to access) can't be more widely shared.

TIMECODE: 1:21 - In your video on cyclamate you only talk about cancer, but according to the NCI "The FDA's concerns about cyclamate are not cancer related." So what are the FDA's concerns? Should they concern me too? 2:05 - I actually get to watch live today! Aaron, quick, what is your favorite tabletop game? 3:00 - Is very high B12 (like 1500 pg/ml) for at least the last 3 years something to worry about? Doc's (2 PCP's and an endo) say it's non-toxic so no worries... but I found a bunch of studies saying there is correlation with high b12 and some cancers... is cancer screening warranted? 3:58 - All right, so, some background info. I'm 26, and I'm legally blind with Retinitis Pigmentosa. I tend to be pretty skeptical about most articles that get passed around on social networks and such. However, when it comes to stuff about vision issues, I tend to pay just a bit more attention, though I remain skeptical. I just got the following article about an "eye acupuncturist," and I wanted to ask in this subreddit (especially since Doc sounds pretty hoarse from his last episode.) The article: http://determinedtosee.com/?p=1633 So, on to the questions: 1: What studies are there about the effectiveness of acupuncture? From what I understand about it, it really shouldn't do much better than a placebo, right? 2: Does anyone else think the article seems a bit suspicious, or even quackish? 7:05 - Hi, do you have any thoughts on cord blood banks? Is it just a waste of money or a great idea worth investing in? What do we know about the quality of that material after a while (say a year)? Maybe it should be considered only by families with certain hereditary conditions? 8:49 - Is there any science behind the recommendation to do 10,000 steps per day? I heard it was a marketing message from a podometer manufacturerer (edited) 10:54 - People tell me that people with pre-existing conditions die while waiting for treatment in Canada, is this just scare tactics
You guys and your Vitamin D. You ask me on HCT Live, you ask me on comments, you ask me on Twitter. I'm amazed at the persistence of this question, as study after study seems to show that Vitamin D isn't doing most of us much good at all. I finally got all my thoughts together on a recent post over at JAMA. But let's do it here, too. This is Healthcare Triage News. This was adapted from a column I wrote for the JAMA Forum.

A century ago, the top three causes of death were infectious diseases. More than half of all people dying in the United States died because of germs. Today, they account for a few percent of deaths at most. We owe much of that, of course, to antibiotics. The discovery of prontosil, the first synthetic modern antibiotic, earned Gerhard Dogagk the Nobel Prize in 1939. Mass-produced penicillin earned Alexander Fleming, Ernst Boris Chain and Howard Walter Florey one in 1945. It is hard to overstate how much less of a threat infectious diseases pose to us today. But we take antibiotics for granted. We use them inappropriately and indiscriminately. This has led many to worry that our days of receiving benefits from them are numbered. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:22 - What is your opinion of free public access to research articles? 3:13 - I was wondering what the cognitive symptoms of mild, moderate and severe dehydration were. 3:59 - I got my flu shot yesterday, and, curiosity and a Google search lead me to a report saying the 2015-16 cycle has been 60% effective. Is that good? Seems less than impressive. 5:01 - Why most universal health care coverage don't cover teeth? Treating my cavities is part of my health as much as treating the flu isn't it? 5:50 - Is there any good research on (moderate - heavy) weightlifting increasing bone density? And if it is, is this possibly a good way to decrease bone fractures in the general population? 6:43 - How do they make glasses for babies? I have to read a tiny line to get glasses but they make them for babies? 8:05 - Are all prenatal vitamins created equally? Some are $5, some are $20. What's the difference? 8:58 - I've had a cough going on 3 months now. All the doctors find is I have low potassium in my blood work and nothing on my xrays. Should I go to another hospital for their opinion? 9:46 - Advice on how to explain to friends/family that they don't know how to treat themselves better than their doctors do? 10:29 - I move all the time for school/work, so I'm constantly changing healthcare providers and I don't have a regular physician. How am I supposed to keep track of my medical history? 11:20 - For an otherwise healthy person, is there any good reason to endure a headache as opposed to knocking back some paracetamol/ibuprofen/aspirin? 12:18 - What is Tetralogy of Fallot, my nephew has it and nobody can explain it to me very well. 14:58 - Do antibiotics applied to the skin have the same effect as those ingested? I regularly treat skin infections this way. Should I stop? 15:43 - Olympics in Brazil, should it be cancelled because of Zika?

There are a few topics here at Healthcare Triage that just won't seem to go away. Vaccines and autism. Diet and exercise. Survival rates. But the one that trumps them all is supplements.

More than 86 million people, including 22 million people 65 or older, have pre-diabetes, which increases their risk of heart disease, strokes or diabetes. As we've watched that number grow, it has somehow felt that despite billions of dollars of research and intervention, there's little we can do. That feeling shifted recently when Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the secretary of health and human services, announced that Medicare was planning to pay for lifestyle interventions focusing on diet and physical activity to prevent Type 2 diabetes. It's an example of small-scale research efforts into health services that have worked and that have expanded to reach more people. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:42 - Pennsylvania just legalized medical marijuana. One of the conditions it claims to treat is Autism. Can you please explain how that works? 4:33 - What are your thoughts on growth attenuation therapy for the severely mentally disabled? 7:45 - What evidence is there to support waking up newborns every 2 hours to eat? 9:28 - Dairy-fat biomarkers associated with lower instances of diabetes. Is this study useful? Is there any correlation between dietary intake of fully fat dairy and these biomarkers? 10:51 - I just learned a bit about theories which say that certain types of parasitic infections may provide benefit in reducing harmful autoimmune function. What is the status of investigating and developing this as a therapy? 12:52 - What are some causes of postcoital bleeding other than cervical cancer? Most of the trans guys I know have experienced it at one point but it's statistically impossible for us all to have cervical cancer. 15:04 - From everyday experiences, it seems as if people in their forties and fifties are more prone to get diabetes. Is that true? If yes, why? 16:06 - I was told to get a partial colonoscopy by my doctor but I've heard from other doctors that they are inferior and you should only get full colonoscopies. What does the research say? 19:20 - Among medical professionals, do you think there's a bias in favor of pharmaceutical interventions and against behavioral interventions when treating disease? Why or why not? 20:03 - Is there a difference between how European food supplements are regulated and how it is done in the USA? 20:13 - How do you feel about a potential sugar tax? 22:01 - Do you think the fear of radiation from nuclear power plants is overblown? 23:22 - Is long-term low hemoglobin levels (10-10.5) a thing to worry about? My GP just shrugs but it's been 2 years now... 25:17 - Your thoughts on RLS (restless leg syndrome) do you believe it's a real disease or just a symptom?
Although the ACA has significantly reduced the percent of Americans who are uninsured, we have not yet come close to universal coverage. This has become a topic of focused debate among Democratic primary candidates. Short of achieving full coverage by passing a single-payer plan (which seems very unlikely in the near future), further gains in insurance coverage will come through means available through the ACA. It's worth revisiting, therefore, exactly who constitute the uninsured at this point. A better understanding could allow policymakers and advocates to focus their efforts on those populations. A recent report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Urban Institute covered just that. So do we, in this episode of Healthcare Triage News.

Thanks, in part, to the generous support of the NIHCM, this month we are releasing four special episodes on Opioids. We hope you enjoy them. This week's episode: The History of Opioids - We will give a historical overview of people and opioids. We will look at when people first started using opioids, how they've changed over the years, and ways that they've been both amazingly positive as really effective painkillers and devastating to individuals and social orders. We will explore the early accounts of opiate use, addiction, and treatment, and touch on the Opium Wars in China. The evolution from raw opium latex to the powerful drugs derived from opium today traces a clear history of increasing addiction as opioids were available in more and more powerful preparations.

The Machete order for watching Star Wars: http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/ This week's questions: 00:53 - Should people be paying attention to expiration dates on prescriptions and over the counter medications? 2:15 - Preemptive wisdom tooth removal has very significant costs and risks. What evidence is there that my dentist is correct in saying that nearly everyone should get their wisdom teeth removed? 3:18 - Are there additional risks involved in drinking energy drinks over their regular or diet soda counterparts? Many people insist on them being terrible. 4:35 - Does medical research have an expiration date? I.e., do you trust studies from the 1950s that haven't been reverified by newer studies? 6:49 - The Affordable Care Act has resulted in a substantial reduction of uninsured. Yay! Is there evidence that this is having a positive impact on health in the US, or just a metric to check off? 8:29 - How's the Apple Watch? Do you think it's a helpful health device? 9:45 - I know your thoughts on supplements in general, but I've noticed you still recommended a prenatal supplement (folate especially). Why this double standard? 10:39 - In honor of today, what do you think is the best order for viewing the Star Wars films? 13:54 - Are there any health risks to being in the military that civilians wouldn't have? 15:03 - Are there any negative effects to eating the same food every day? 16:17 - If trying three different antidepressants hasn't helped, is there much merit in trying more, or is there as much value in more natural approaches like mindfulness, meditation, exercise, etc.? 17:31 - Everyone seems to be talking about "toxins" and how bad they are, but no one ever talks about what they are. What is a "toxin"? Are there any we really need to be aware of? 19:57 - Please comment on any research on the relationship

This week's questions: 1:23 The infant formula milk industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. You cannot turn on the television without at least watching an advertisement hailing the mental and physical benefits of X baby formula. Since then, there is a prevailing belief that parents MUST purchase this or that brand of baby formula otherwise their child will be at a disadvantage. Your opinion on this? 3:17 The Food and Drug Administration said there are serious and sometimes disabling side effects from the commonly used class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Is this just another FDA overreaction or do the risks outweigh the benefits? 4:30 Folate during Pregnancies causes autism? Are we being trolled? 8:30 Is there a difference in regulation between herbalsupplements and vitamin supplements? I take magnesium oxide (which comes from behind the pharmacy counter) to prevent migraines. 8:50 Why don't we use male birth control? 10:27 IGG food intolerances and Leaky Gut? 11:40 Is there a way to lessen tolerance to dexamphetamines. I've been prescribed them for the last 7 years (I'm 19 now). 12:22 What diseases often produce false positive tests? 13:47 What causes visual snow and why do some people see it all the time? Is there reason to be concerned about it?
My physician-gaming-group-friends are being swamped by concerned parents because of a new study in Pediatrics that has led to many news articles declaring that swaddling - wrapping an infant tightly in a cloth or blanket - may increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
Thanks, in part, to the generous support of the NIHCM, this month we are releasing four special episodes on Opioids. We hope you enjoy them. This week's episode: Treatment - The best way to deal with opioid addiction is to prevent it, but for a huge and growing number of Americans, it's too late for that.

This week's questions: 2:53 Are there any studies on taking sleep inducing products like Melatonin or ZZZquyl? Long term hazards? 4:43 Everyone is getting nutritionists/naturopaths food sensitivity tests. Is it evidence-based, an overextended health claim, or totally bogus? 6:22 How much weight should we give to the studies about brain mapping? 8:51 What can you tell me about treating ADHD in adults? What worked for me as a kid doesn't seem to help as much as it used to now that I'm older. 10:48 How would you recommend bringing up/pointing out fat shaming to a doctor who repeatedly deflects my Q's and discussion of a chronic medical issue to talk about my weight, despite being unrelated? 13:32 My one year old isn't babbling yet. When I told the doctor he told me babies sometimes don't talk till 2-3. Is that also with babbling? 15:42 What are the chances of passing IBD to your child if one parent has Chron's? Should you worry about this, the meds are not cheap! 17:47 I was recently bit by a venomous spider and I went to urgent care and got treated. Then I went to my GP a few days later, but I was told it was just my anxiety acting up (diagnosed GAD). Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? 20:20 I live in Canada, where some provinces have stopped paying doctors for performing annual physical exams. The evidence seems to be point out that annual physicals do not affect morbidity or mortality. 23:26 How much damage is typically done if the brain is cut off from oxygen for less than a minute? 24:40 I've heard lots of talk about "oil pulling" or oil gargling as a way of whitening teeth or maintaining dental hygeine. Is there any scientific basis for this? 25:16 Can please you tell me more about amputees' phantom pain? How bad is it generally? How often does it occur? 27:39 How does Aaron feel about the longevity movement. Luigi fontana has fascinating work on calorie restriction. We also have aubrey de grey doing work to "fix the problems

It has become an article of faith among many of my friends that when they are pregnant, they should eliminate foods that could lead to allergies in their children. They forego shellfish, they do without dairy, but most importantly, they avoid peanuts. This behavior continues after their children are born. While they are breastfeeding, they continue to abstain from certain foods. They certainly keep their children, themselves, from eating them. But research in the last few years had consistently shown that this may be the wrong approach. We may be doing more harm than good with all this avoidance. We might want to consider doing the opposite. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode is adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:49 I know you've said that vitamins essentially make expensive pee, but what if you can't afford to get nutritious food often and are mostly eating carbs because you're super poor? Would vitamins help? 4:08 What do you recommend for weaning babies? Whole milk has been the traditional drink but what is the better alternative? 5:56 What are your thoughts of the new laws in California and a few other states that allow women to have access to birth control without seeing a doctor? 7:22 How/why does granular scar tissue form? If you have had issues with it once, what are the chances of having it happen again, particularly when it occurred postpartum? And why is it so darn painful? 9:13 Have you read any books or poetry about being a doctor? Any favorites or recommendations? 12:30 Have you seen the silly promotional video for the Squatty Potty? Is there truth to any of its health claims? 14:24 Other than rest, ice, compression, and elevation, is there anything else I should be doing for a calf strain? I'm on day 3. 15:16 Was wondering what the research says about how effective EPA and DHA fish-oil supplements are for treating depression? Particularly interested in how they can be used for treating depression in those with a history of being clinically underweight due to illness. 16:36 Due to the humidity, sometimes I just hate wearing my glasses (it feels icky). My mom said it will make my vision worse. Is that true? Does regularly not wearing prescriptions to correct vision problems have any long term cumulative effects? 19:08 I was diagnosed as a type I diabetic 20 years ago. Back then they said I'd probably be cured of it by now. What kind of realistic expectations should I set for the next 20 years? 22:43 How have EMRs affected physicians approaches to care? Helpful? Harmful? Burnout? 26:57 Can we as citizens do anything to lower healthcare costs? 27:26 Thoughts on Rogue One Trailer?
For many, many years we've been hearing about gene therapy – the chance that we can get into people's DNA and fix it to resolve problems and fix disease.

In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a policy statement in which they said that the benefits of male circumcision outweighed the risks of the procedure. They cited health benefits which, while not great enough to warrant a recommendation for all males to undergo the procedure, were significant enough to make sure all who wanted it could get it, and that it should be covered by insurance. Not long after, the CDC concurred. But what is the evidence for and against circumcision? That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Following the tragic events in Orlando earlier this month, there were many reports of gay men being turned away when they went to donate blood. Why do non-celibate gay men have their blood donations rejected? Turns out, it's an outdated guideline from the early days of HIV AIDS. This week, Aaron looks at the FDA's guidelines for blood donation, and the modern tools we have to screen blood.

Aaron and his wife both work. When one of their kids wakes up complaining of a sore throat, they begin a ritual staredown to determine which of them is going to have to wait for the doctor's office to open, call them, wait on hold, schedule an appointment (which will inevitably be in the middle of the day), take off work, pick the kid up from school, wait in the waiting room (surrounded by other sick kids), get seen, get the rapid strep test, find out if the kid is infected, and then take them to the pharmacy or back to school, before returning to work. Or, one of them could just take the kid to a retail clinic on the way to work/school and be done in 30 minutes. The undeniable convenience and reliability of retail clinics is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:54 Most regular painkillers can be dangerous to use for people with IBD (colitis & crohn's). What over the counter medications are considered less harmful? 3:40 Are there actual ways to relieve sore muscles (after workout soreness) or are all home remedies basically useless? 6:01 I've always heard the foster care system is hard on kids. Do we know the long term health and mental outcomes of foster care children vs non-foster care children (like children living with parents). 8:13 Have you seen any studies on Kombucha tea? It claims to be probiotic, but I'm hesitant after all we've been through (over and over) with the live cultures in the yogurt. 9:35 What is the latest best treatment for a skin burn, where the blister has popped. Cover or not cover? 11:11 Thoughts on MIT RNA programmable vaccines? 14:08 Friends have been post a video on Facebook claiming chemotherapy does not work 97% of the time, (work is not defined) and is only being used because it is profitable. I'm assuming this is misleading at best and was wondering what the real probabilities of positive outcome are with chemotherapy. 17:18 How do insurers justify refusing to pay for drugs that are FDA-approved but still "experimental"? Is it too cynical to think "experimental" is code for "not cheap yet"? 18:32 Is it safe for non-smoking Ulcerative Colitis patients to use nicotine patches (as additional medication for UC) or are there negative effects in the long term? 21:00 Is there any evidence supporting the use of enemas for matters other than constipation (e.g. general health and well-being)? 23:23 Is there a limit to how many calories the body can absorb when gorging such as on a cheat day? 24:47 What are your views on the use of propaganda to address non-compliance and public health objectives? STD/STI fear-mongering, anti-drug programs, and programs that espouse particular social or religious aims that align with public health objectives still seem commonplac
When I was a medical student, I remember doing a psych rotation on a pediatric ward. I was struck by how many of the admissions were for eating disorders. Even before then, I was aware that more than a small number of my female friends and acquaintances were suffering from some form of disordered eating. So when I saw a study on the topic, I was more than a little intrigued. This is Healthcare Triage News.

Salty foods are delicious, but for decades we've been told that sodium in our diets is a bad thing. Recent studies suggest that while limiting salt intake is probably a good idea for people with high blood pressure, it probably isn't helpful for people who don't have blood pressure issues. In fact, an extremely low salt diet may even be more harmful than a more standard intake.

This week's questions: 3:39 Transcendental Meditation makes some wacky claims (tumor prevention), but they make an interesting claim that TM is more effective than other forms of meditation. Is there any merit to this? 5:26 Why does it seem like American dentists are so intent on removing wisdom teeth? Do most people really need this procedure? 7:03 Is sugar addictive? If sugar addiction is a behavioral addiction, is sugar addictive? 8:12 Does sunscreen expire? If I have a bottle left over from last summer, would it still be okay to use? 9:06 I'm a young adult in decent health, but I've been having dizzy spells from time to time. Doctor did bloodwork and it looked normal. How concerned should I be? Is it normal for coffee to cause it? 10:33 In sodium video, it suggested adverse effects for sodium consumption lower than 3g. What sort of people fall into this category? Are they from poorer countries? 12:07 Anyone know what the deal is with microwave popcorn? I was eating some in front of my mother in law the other day and she told me it was going to give me cancer. I'm naturally suspicious of those claims but a cursory Internet search brought up articles on diacetyl, PFOA, TBHQ, popcorn lung, etc. Nothing seemed very convincing but I'm curious if anyone has good evidence one way or another? 14:39 I was wondering whether you've seen any research on phimosis in the elderly. I've worked with several patients who have had it. Just curious if that's normal for the uncircumcised elderly. 15:22 Has there been any study initiated that Pokémon Go has had a positive effect on blood sugar levels or other values? 18:26 I'm curious, are vaccination and booster shot "due dates" different for every person, or totally generic? Does missing the dates by a week, month, year, etc. change their effectiveness? 19:38 Does the use of Aluminium products increase the chance of getting Alzheimer's? 20:32 Why is it so hard to install universal healthcare system!! 22:39 As and MD/p
So often, when we implement new policy, I wish we had better ways to capture its effects so that we could expand our knowledge base as to how decisions change health and health care. The Oregon Health Insurance Experiment, and its older brother the RAND HIE, were RCTs designed to look at how insurance affected utilization and health. While these were impressive studies, they had their flaws. RCTs are hard to do, though; they're also expensive. Sometimes, other designs are necessary. Recently, in Annals of Internal Medicine, Laura Wherry and Sarah Miller looked at how the Medicaid expansion has changed things. Let's discuss. This is Healthcare Triage News.

Though you may not have realized it, there's a good chance that a doctor has prescribed you a medication for a use other than what it was approved for. This off-label use is perfectly legal, but isn't as safe as it might be, in part because incentives to invest in costly clinical trials to test such uses are weak. Efficient use of off-label drugs is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column Austin Frakt wrote for The Upshot.

Americans seem very afraid of cancer. Much of this fear is legitimate. Cancer is a significant cause of death. Unlike other causes, it often seems to come out of nowhere. It's the "silent killer". But evidence increasingly argues that cancer may be preventable, too. Unfortunately, this has inflamed as much as it has assuaged people's fears.

This week's questions: 1:56 What do you think about Pres. Obama's article on the ACA in JAMA? Is it ok because it's relevant to healthcare in the US, or bad because it politicizes a scientific publication? 4:06 My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD/ODD, and his pediatrician recommended a gluten-free, dairy-free diet. He has improved on this diet (placebo?), but I can't find any good research. Thoughts? 5:35 Should I be concerned about the possible health risks of ingesting too much maltodextrin? I drink Soylent and am wondering if the high level of maltodextrin contained within it is unhealthy? Thanks! 6:50 Hi, I've just seen a video on infant self-rescue and I was wanting to know you're opinion as a pediatrician? 8:29 Are there any long term side effects of Accutane? I'm in my 4th month, and still no side effects! 9:08 What is the most effective management of common cold? 11:14 What evidence is there for blue light, specifically from LEDs, being bad for you? Saw a sign at the eye doctor advertising special lenses to protect you from "eye strain, retinal damage, sleep problems and ADHD" caused by the blue light from LEDs. As a physicist, I am deeply skeptical that the narrowband blue light from LEDs are any worse than broader band blue light from supposedly safe sources. What does the research say? 12:56 I don't trust Dr. Google to diagnose me -- at all -- but sometimes searching yields a plausible fit for my symptoms. What's the best place to start when talking to a physician? 15:02 Hi! What does the recent developments with Aetna mean for the ACA? 19:46 Can you dumb down what a single payer system is to a Tweet length? 20:11 I have a question about a video in the past about Wisdom Teeth removal and why the US like to remove them, can you list some reasons when/why it should be removed? 21:06 Your opinion about "Quantum Medicine" and "Quantum Therapy".

Many more babies die in the United States than you might think. In 2014, more than 23,000 infants died in their first year of life, or about six for every 1,000 born.

If so, can they do anything preventative to mitigate it? 2:57 What can explain the recent skyrocketing cost of an epiPen?

Should we all be screened for anxiety/depression etc? 12:26 Is fructose like really bad for health? Lots of em in soft drinks and juices right? 13:57 Any research about thermodynamic calorie burning (e.g. weight loss through cold exposure)? Presume not, but if not, why wouldn't it work (as it makes perfect sense from a purely chemical perspective)? 16:35 Are there any scientifically proven factors which increase the risk of appendicitis? 17:48 I saw the video on milk however when I tell my parents they say it's for the calcium... So is that a sound rebuttal? Especially for kids and the elderly 20:21 I'm an educator, and the new en vogue research is the Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACEs). How legitimate is this study and has it been backed up by other studies? 21:54 For those allergic to eggs, what are the vaccine options? (I promise I'll ask my doc next week.) 22:28 You said that an hour of exercise isn't enough to impact weight loss greatly. So, what type of lifestyle changes would you recommend to someone looking to lose weight?
No studies this week. We're actually going to do news. It's time for an Addyi update. Addyi, or Flibanserin was touted as the "female Viagra" despite the fact that it isn't very similar to Viagra. It still doesn't work very well or for very many patients. And it has a lot of side effects. Oh, and you can't drink or take hormonal birth control while you're on it.

This week's questions: 2:39 What does the scientific evidence say about the effectiveness of acupuncture? Wikipedia says, "Systematic reviews found little evidence of acupuncture's effectiveness in treating pain." 4:50 I've been on a few rounds of steroids trying to clear up a UC flareup. At first we were trying corticosteroids, but now my doctor has me on glucocorticosteroids. What's the difference? 5:48 Is it true that consuming soy milk will increase estrogen levels & negatively affect health? I drink soy milk and people always tell me that I should switch to other milk substitutes like almond milk. 7:21 When should children begin seeing the dentist? Every source lists a different age. 8:17 What are antioxidants and what are they for and why do we need them (or don't)? 10:17 I've heard differing answers on how often I should see a dermatologist. Is it different for people who are high-risk for skin cancer? 12:18 3yo has eczema that we are really struggling with. We have a wonderful allergist, and we did tons of allergy testing about a year ago, which identified eggs, and eliminating them has helped tremendously, but recently the eczema seems to be getting worse again. How do we know when it might be time to do more allergy testing? I don't want to put him through unnecessary testing. 14:42 Can you talk more about when you would recommend someone see a therapist? What sorts of indications? How to find a good one? What to say when scheduling an appointment? 17:03 What do you think are some key points of each presidential candidate's healthcare policies that we should pay attention to? 24:19 Which medical skill, besides CPR, would you wish the general public to master? 25:25 Dr. Carroll, I've got way too many bodybuilder friends who tote protein shakes and high-protein diets. Are there any studies for or against the effect of high-protein intake on muscle development?

I also talk a lot about things that don't work, and therefore constitute waste in that they don't affect outcomes positively, and cost money.

Three times in the last two weeks, people - a patient, a colleague and my wife - told me stories about how out of control the price of EpiPens were. Monday, my New York Times colleagues recounted in detail how expensive the devices have become in recent years. All tell the tale of how much even basic health care can cost in the United States. But by digging a bit further, the story of EpiPens can also explain so much of what's wrong with our health care system. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

This week's questions: 3:24 Yesterday an article in the Annals of Internal Med found that for every hour with patients doctors spend 2 hours with EHRs plus 1-2 hours at home with EHRs. Is this news or is this already known? 5:09 You said you reserve judgement on parents who spank, but how do you know when they've crossed into problematic uses? 6:58 In Ontario, guidelines say that women don't need pap tests until they've had sexual skin-to-skin contact. Elsewhere I've heard it's by age 21, even with no sexual history. What does the evidence say? 8:11 Hi Dr C! Was wondering about the tissue paper seat covers in public bathrooms. What are they trying to protect me from? An STI? Norovirus? Can they possibly be effective? 9:58 The rise in superbugs has triggered a meeting of the UN general assembly. What, if anything, do you think will happen at this meeting? 11:39 I have a small patch of ringworm on my leg, and my mother insists I use essential oils for it. I think iodine would work better,and is proven to work. How do I tell her essential oils are snake oil? 12:48 On a personal level, what is your reaction when people respond to your publications by calling you an "industry shill?" which topics get the most of these reactions? 18:09 Is there a difference between ionized water, alkaline water and distilled water? 18:31 Should we really follow FDA instructions and wash our hands for 20 seconds? I do and everyone laughs at me. 20:13 What do you know about migraines and CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide)? What natural purpose does the CGRP serve and why would it be elevated during migraines? 21:06 Is 5 small meals instead of regular 3 meals actually healthier? 22:09 Does being a frequent flyer affect health? Such as flying around for business to various countries. 24:02 Do you think medical errors (may be third leading cost of death) will ever be reduced to the point where the medical industry will be high reliability like the airline industry?
On Monday, we talked about how EpiPens are a perfect example of the dysfunction of the American Health care system. Evidently, America agreed. Days after the NYT published my and other pieces, a whole bunch of stuff happened. Let's review. This is Healthcare Triage News.

When my wife's water broke, minutes after I went to bed back in January of 2002, I remember driving her to the hospital and anguishing over one thought: "I'm never going to be well rested again". If there's one things all new parents wish, it's for a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, infants sometimes make that impossible. They wake up repeatedly, needing to be fed, changed, and comforted. Eventually, they reach an age when they should sleep through the night. Some don't, though. What to do with them continues to be a topic of a heated debate in parenting circles. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

We had some internet troubles on this broadcast (we checked the version stored on our computer and it had the same issues). You'll probably be better off listening to this in the background OR listening to the podcast version over on soundcloud.com/healthcaretriage. We'll be back with the LIVE Show on October 12, in the mean time you can leave your questions in the comments section of youtube.com/healthcaretriage/live This week's questions: 2:05 Is there a line between EHRs using a central database, or keeping a record of every hospital you visit, and telling them before your visit every hospital has records on said person. 4:01 What would you look for to differentiate a pica disorders from toddlers just putting everything in their mouth? 5:13 This one is from my mom: Is waking up a few times a night to rollover or whatever a problem I should be trying to solve if I'm not tired. How do I know if I'm getting enough REM? 6:24 What's your opinion on "delayed umbilical cord clamping" after birth? The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists hasn't come out in support of it, but the WHO seems to recommend it. 7:48 Any thoughts on Gary Johnson's healthcare free market ideas? 12:04 Any thoughts on the conspiracy of why kratom is being reschedule a schedule1 drug (aka big pharma)? 12:51 Could you talk about "3-Parent Babies" and other future uses for gene therapy? 14:01 Several groups characterize porn use as "harmful" and a "mental health crisis," citing addiction, warped expectations, and early onset ED. Is there evidence of such harm in porn exposure and use? 16:43 What are the treatments for food allergies in kids? Is there a way to desensitize them? Or do they need to avoid that food for their whole life? 17:47 Certain kids get multiple cases of chicken pox when young, and then also have a minor shingles outbreak around age 10. Should those people still get the shingles vaccine when elderly? 20:52 What does the research say about ASMR?
I'm sure you've heard this when you're sitting in the dentist's chair: "Would you like bitewing X-rays?" They likely recommend them every year. They're painless, they don't take much time, and, they won't cost you penny if you're covered by insurance. But do you need them? That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Things sometimes go wrong with airbags, food and drugs, prompting recalls. It can also happen with medical devices, though you'd think lifesaving devices like heart defibrillators or artificial hips would be closely monitored. But the data needed to systematically and rapidly identify dangerous medical devices are not routinely collected in the United States. Why not? It wouldn't be that hard to do.

For decades, public health experts have known that syringe exchange programs reduce the spread of certain viral infections - like H.I.V.,hepatitis B and hepatitis C - by removing infected needles from circulation. Studies have shown that programs using sterile injection equipment are both safe and save money. And yet they are rarely seen in the United States. Why not?

As we approach the election this fall, it seems like the news media report on little else. Unfortunately, too little news coverage addresses health care reform. That's wackadoo, because there is still so much to be done to improve the cost, quality, and access for patients within the US health care system. So let's talk about the major health policy issues we in the US face. This is Healthcare Triage News. This episode was adapted from a post Aaron wrote for the JAMA Forum.

We've got an election coming up here. It's pretty much a dumpster fire. But we've still got a country to run, and a health care system that's far from ideal.

Every time health care reform comes up for debate, I see people arguing about whether a publicly or privately funded system would be better. The Affordable Care Act, in an attempt to forestall this debate, decided to split the baby, and give half of its newly insured beneficiaries public insurance (Medicaid) and half private insurance (insurance exchanges).
Hospitals and many insurance carriers care about patient satisfaction. It especially matters to hospitals because insurance payments can be influenced by how patients rate the care they receive, as well as by the health of the patient, which hospitals usually report. Many people in the health care profession are put off by this. They argue that patient satisfaction scores aren't necessarily aligned with outcomes. Moreover, they say that trying to improve satisfaction is a waste of time. It's possible, however, that patient satisfaction is being rewarded already, and that the efforts we are making to highlight it aren't helping as much as we think. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column I wrote for the Upshot.

Why and what steps can be taken to reduce the costs? 12:19 How to decipher actual advice from pseudo science that some MDs sell in books? 14:04 What's the truth behind cleanses and protein shakes and all that other fad crap! 14:46 Sleep quality as it relates to aging, when is more sleep worse? 15:45 Can I continuously eat 5g of creatine monohydrate each day without cycles? And why do my joints feel much better when I eat creatine, and start to hurt during/after the physical exercises when I stop eating it? 16:54 Thoughts on basic medical education in primary and secondary schools? my highschool taught me CPR, first aid and AED in health class but I've learned that they no longer do so. 17:51 Do you need to change your mattress every 8 years to avoid back injury or is that a marketing ploy? 18:26 Is the breast self-examination working or is it causing more harm because of needless biopsies, surgery, anxiety? 19:31 When you have a cold, is it better to constantly spit/blow out the phlegm from your nose and throat? Is it better to get the gunk out of your body or might it be better to keep it inside, maybe because you get more dehydrated (plus spread more germs) by purging it?? 20:53 Why is the recent nutrition fad to tell us to eat more protein? It all feels like the low carb diet again even though it doesnt seem necessary to take in that much protein. (i.e. My vegan sister and her 5 young kids mos
This election season has seen relatively little campaigning on health care reform. Short of the occasional cry to "repeal Obamacare" or the offhand complaint about how much health care costs, there's been relatively little focus on how reform, of health care in general, must be addressed in the next Presidential administration. What little news there is seems to focus on the exchanges, as I've noted over at other venues. Almost no attention is being paid to Medicaid, or its expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act. A newly released study in JAMA focuses on how the Medicaid expansion affected hospital finances in the US, though, and it's worth our time. This is Healthcare Triage News.

Often, when discussing the obesity crisis facing the United States, especially when I'm pointing out another failed effort to help people change their eating habits, it feels like there's nothing we can do. But sometimes it's actually more like there's nothing we will do. There's a difference. That's especially true with The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

We covered the Five Second Rule a couple years ago. And, just a few weeks ago, colleagues at the New York Times (and many other news sources) wrote about a new study debunking the five second rule. This was not the first such study to argue that there is "no safe time" for food to be left on the floor. Our continued focus on this "threat" has long baffled me, though. Why are we so worried about the floor? So many things are more dangerous than that.

Have there been studies done to determine how best to change that behaviour? Follow up: would checklists be a good stand in to make sure doctors don't miss steps / bypass best practises? 7:23 What do you expect the future of healthcare and healthcare policy to look like for the next 4 - 8 years? 10:20 I've heard that men experience vasovagal fainting more than women.

I ask because my wife and I are in the hospital about to give birth. 17:48 Do you agree with animal testing in medical science or would you rather see other, less cruel methods? 19:05 What does listening to me breathe deeply through a stethoscope really do? 20:01 Is there any truth to "cheat days" part of diets where you can eat everything you want, as much as you want, once a week, having a positive effect on weight loss efforts? Think The Rock's cheat day. 21:21 My pediatrician won't do all

At a time when health care spending seems only to go up, an initiative in California has slashed the prices of many common procedures. The California Public Employees' Retirement System (Calpers) started paying hospitals differently for 450,000 of its members beginning in 2011. It set a maximum contribution it would make toward what a hospital was paid for knee and hip replacement surgery, colonoscopies, cataract removal surgery, and several other elective procedures. Under this new approach, called reference pricing, patients who wished to get a procedure at a higher-priced hospital paid the difference themselves. And reference pricing is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column friend-of-the-show Austin Frakt wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:44 What are the risks of IUDs? 2:51 With Verma picked to head CMS, can you discuss her work on the Healthy Indiana Program? Specifically I'm curious about having Medicaid recipients pay premiums or else being locked out of coverage. 7:08 I have issues of muscle cramps (where the muscle seizes and will not let go), in my calves, when exercising. I use compression sleeves which usually work, but I will still get them-any other advice? 7:51 Could turmeric be used as an effective anti-inflammatory treatment? What does the research say? 8:27 Hi Dr. Carroll. A teacher of mine mentioned some people are using extremely high doses of IV vitamin C to treat cancer. Any info on this claim? What does the research say about this treatment? 9:53 I worked with a doctor in an ER who didn't know whether a patient had a PPO or an HMO based on their insurance card. Is it common for doctors not to know a lot about their patient's insurance plans? 11:03 Have you had a chance to read the new study on artificial sweeteners from PLOS? Any thoughts? 14:38 What are your thoughts on radioembolization to treat tumors in the liver? 15:03 If diet is the key to weight loss, as you've pointed out heavy exercise is not, aside from finding a diet you can stick to, are there any factors to focus on? Fibre, food water content, etc. 18:03 Hi! I'm from Mexico & I don't get why the ACA is so divisive? Who or what does it damage? It's not communist AT ALL. 19:11 Can you please explain how losing weight eases GERD symptoms? 19:47 What measures should people living in the developed world take to help prevent the incidence of immunoinflammatory disease? 20:41 Is it really bad for your throat to swallow pills without water/some kind of liquid? I always gag on pills if I don't just put them on the back of my tongue and swallow without any liquid. 21:45 are there any studies on the effects of listening to music and doing homework/work? does it help or harm concentration?
When I was a resident, I always marvelled at how on nights and weekends, remarkably fewer people were "required" to take care of patients than on weekdays during work hours. Logic dictated that either people must be receiving substandard care on off hours, because there were fewer personnel, or else perhaps those extra people weren't necessary. Was I right?

Maybe the person working near you, the one who dragged himself to work and is now coughing and sneezing, couldn't afford to stay home. Each week about 1.5 million Americans without paid sick leave go to work despite feeling ill. At least half of employees of restaurants and hospitals - two settings where disease is easily spread - go to work when they have a cold or the flu, according to a recent poll. To address that issue, Chipotle began offering paid sick leave to all its employees in the United States this year. The restaurant chain is hoping to reduce the spread of infectious disease - like the norovirus outbreaks traced to its restaurants last year and earlier this year. Though many other industrialized countries already require employers to offer paid sick leave to all employees, the United States does not. Shocked you are, I know.

Many are still unhappy with Obamacare.The main intent of the Affordable Care Act was to expand the safety net (Medicaid), regulate the non-employer-based private insurance market (the insurance exchanges) and help people buy that insurance (subsidies) in order to reduce the number of Americans who are uninsured. On those metrics, it appears to be succeeding. First and foremost, Obamacare was about improving access to health care. While it did improve access to insurance, in many, many other ways the United States is falling short. Things are likely to get worse before they get better. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column I wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 2:32 Do studies show if there are any health benefits by having indoor plants to improve air quality (not including psychological benefits)? 3:42 What studies have been done on frequency and timing of tooth brushing? (say brushing immediately after eating vs. 1 hour later ... or brushing once a day vs. after every meal) 5:13 I've been seeing a lot of stories about the use of psychedelics for depression (such as psilocybin, ketamine, and mdma), what do you know of any research being done on this? 6:12 I frequently wake up in the morning and grab a zero cal. zero sugar energy drink. I know you have done episodes on artificial sweeteners and coffee. Is this an unhealthy habit? Coffee tears me up. 7:23 My mom wants me to see a doctor who does integrative medicine, but I haven't found one who isn't endorsing stuff like aromatherapy, or even crystals. What's your take on this type of practice? 9:14 If you could perform a longitudinal cohort study on the American population, what question(s) would you focus on? 11:17 I'm considering medical school, but I have misophonia ("select sound sensitivity syndrome") triggered by sniffing (weird, I know). This sometimes leads to anxiety attacks. CBT hasn't helped much and the SSRI I tried made me feel sick. Though I'm interested in fields like pathology and OB/GYN where I wouldn't be exposed to these sounds as much, I'm worried about my ability to get through medical school. Will this have a large enough impact on my ability to care for patients or to obtain a license that I should avoid a career in medicine? 12:33 Your job(s) sound(s) awesome. How did you get where you are? 14:39 I've heard next year Congress could fund Medicaid with block grants or per-capita allotments. Could you discuss the pros and cons of each? How do they both work? 16:25 What care do you provide to kids as a peds. Doc for depression and other mental health problems? Any preventive care? 17:22 Do you find the health info/fe

We know that Human Papillomavirus causes genital warts and cancer. We know that the vaccine protects people against the seven high-risk variants of the virus which are responsible for about 90% of cervical cancers. It also protects against two more variants which cause like 90% of warts. We currently recommend that adolescents get three doses of the vaccine. But maybe two would do? We have such a hard time getting all those shots to kids. Also, when it's time for HPV shots, it can be more effective to just announce to patients and parents that now is the time to get this vaccine. Treating it like any other vaccine on the schedule leads to a higher acceptance rate. Couching at as something parents might want to refuse can lead to refusals.

Many people have to wait too long to see a doctor. And it could get worse. If, as many people believe, we have a shortage of doctors in the United States, then it follows that we can fix this only by training and hiring more physicians. As with almost everything in our health care system, though, it's complicated. Some people think there's no shortage at all - just a poor distribution of the doctors we have. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

This week's questions: 1:50 Are zero calorie food really a thing? What could a person that really hates to exercise, but wants to lose a weight do to do so? 4:13 My dentist wishes to sell me a $140 smartphone-connected electric toothbrush. How much better are the high-end toothbrushes compared to the $20 electric toothbrushes? PS she is selling it so I have zero faith in her objectivity on the topic. 6:00 Are there benefits to getting the HPV vaccine to men above 30 years old? 7:14 The HPV vaccine has added several more strains since I had it. (I had a relatively early version.) Why isn't it recommended that I get the new vaccine for additional coverage? 8:03 My friend thinks that sunscreen has dangers and you should only use it as necessary. I don't know of any "dangers" and she just says "chemicals" in response. Are there any legitimate safety concerns about sunscreen? 11:11 One of the significant challenges with pay-for-performance models seems to be measuring the quality of outcomes. What specific things about how the U.S. healthcare system assesses and reports quality would you like to see improved in 2017? 13:00 Hey Aaron long time listener. First time questioner. Are you aware of any research on stimulation of alpha EEG waves? Alpha waves are indeed associated with relaxation but inducing them with tech? 14:02 What medical TV show do you think most accurately shows what life as a doctor is like? 16:09 We have one family member who seems very wary of using a microwave for vague (and seemingly unscientific) "safety" reasons. Specifically, they do not like to ever have a plastic container in the microwave. They will use glass or ceramic only. I have seen them actually reject and throw out food if it was heated in tupperware. Now, I'm not talking about disposable cheap plastic take-out containers that will /melt/ in a microwave... what about solid, microwave-safe plastic products like bowls or storage tubs? Is there any research on whether they d
One of my fist big efforts on my blog was a ten point series on health care spending in the US. It also led to John doing this video – which is the fourth most popular vlogbrothers video EVER, - which pretty much led to Healthcare Triage. It's not surprising, therefore, that I have an ongoing interest in spending on health. A recent publication in JAMA got into the weeds of where that money has gone. This is Healthcare Triage News.

One of the few things that both Donald trump and Hilary Clinton seemed to agree on is that high out-of-pocket spending, specifically as it relates to the Affordable Care Act, is a problem. One of Clinton's most popular health care proposals during her campaign was to reduce out of pocket spending to more "manageable" levels for many Americans. President-elect Trump sought to fix this problem by repealing the ACA and replacing it with something better. Reducing out-of-pocket spending, however, will require some tradeoffs. No easy solution exists, but there are examples out there worthy of consideration. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

The recent election has caused many to question whether significant changes are about to happen to Medicaid. Repeal of the Affordable Care Act would, of course, lead to the elimination of the Medicaid expansion, which could result in significant numbers of adults losing their coverage overnight. But even without repeal, many Republican replacement proposals also result in significant changes to Medicaid, whether it be through funding, eligibility, or benefits. So, again, let's talk about what Medicaid does, and whether it's long term benefits are worth it. This is Healthcare Triage News.

Obamacare's marketplaces were supposed to give consumers choices of health plans from insurers that compete to keep premiums down. But fewer insurers are participating, and premiums are increasing sharply. Fixing this problem will obviously be politically difficult with a Republican-controlled Congress that has vowed to "repeal and replace." President-elect Donald J. Trump has also said he wants to get rid of the ACA, although he amended that recently by saying he'd like to keep some elements. Replacing the law, without a Senate supermajority, would also be politically difficult. From a policy standpoint, however, some solutions to problems facing the marketplaces are ones that Republicans have endorsed before: for Medicare. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Do they work? 7:16 Any thoughts on the recent(ish) study that basically said we are in better hands with female, rather than male doctors? Did the media report the study well? 8:57 Are home remedies for heartburn, such as Apple cider vinegar and baking soda effective beyond placebo effect? 10:14 How effective are health savings accounts? 12:05 Are allergy reactions worse with each exposure? 12:43 Would you agree that those of us w/chronic expensive conditions break the "insurance" model for health care, and that's why high-risk pools keep coming up? 15:14 Public option. Pros and cons? 19:42 Are there any studies on the safety or effectiveness of the "potato hack?" (The diet where you eat nothing but potatoes for a month, popularized recently by Penn Gillete.) 21:38 What is the actual evidence regarding moderate/light drinking, say 1-2 drinks per week, during pregnancy? Books like "Expecting Better" say it's ok, but others say absolutely not. 23:06 Is there a difference between brand-name and generic prescription medicines. Some people swear yes some people swear no.is there a difference? 25:40 How does one get involved in health research? like what you do? 28:08 What's your beef with John Ionnandis?! 29:23 Are you answering questions right now? 29:30 With the recent approval to repeal ACA what is the expected replacement time?

After campaigning for years on a plan of "repeal and replace Obamacare," Republicans finally have the means within their grasp to make much of that possible. They control the presidency, the House, and the Senate. The filibuster still poses some potential threats to their plans, but it's also within their means to abolish its widespread use in such a way that they could both repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with something of their own design. What would that be? In contrast to what many say, there are Republican plans out there to consider. They're the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.

Heart disease continues to be the number one killer in the United States. Because of that, billions of dollars are spent every year on medications that reduce your risk of disease and death. Compounding this problem, many of the risk factors for heart disease seem "baked into the cake". Genetic factors can have a huge impact on people's risk, and those factors are almost always outside of one's control. Because of this, there are some who feel a certain amount of powerlessness to prevent heart disease. Recent research contradicts this, though, and should give us all renewed hope.

I once received a lot of blowback for an Upshot article in which I showed (with evidence) that exercise is not the key to weight loss. Diet is. Many, many readers cannot wrap their head around the notion that adding physical activity, and therefore burning more calories, doesn't necessarily translate into results on the scale. Well, here we go again because some of those folks also believe that fitness devices - Fitbit, Vivosmart, Apple Watch - must be helpful in losing weight. Unfortunately, evidence doesn't support this belief either. That's the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column I wrote for the Upshot.

If the new AHCA doesn't pass (which is definitely in the realm of possibility), Republicans in Congress will need to come up with another plan to fulfill their promise to repeal and replace Obamacare.

A number of Republican health care policy proposals that seemed out of favor in the Obama era are now being given new life.

When President Trump's White House revealed its proposed budget recently. A lot of things got cut, and much public outrage was expressed about cuts to funding for Meals on Wheels. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney portrayed the cuts as removing funding for programs that just don't work. Was he talking about Meals on Wheels? And more importantly, is Meals on Wheels effective? Spoiler alert: probably. And yes.

In the United States, the median price for an orphan drug is about $100,000 per year, twenty times the price of the median non-orphan drug. Given the staggering cost, you'd think we'd have a solid handle on whether that money is well-spent. But the truth is that we don't. Friend of the show Nick Bagley, a professor of law at the University of Michigan wrote a series for our blog on orphan drugs, and it was so good, we're bringing it to you here.

Drug companies love the Orphan Drug Act. They say it encourages research into breakthrough therapies for people with rare disease. And sometimes that's true. Lots of the time, though, the companies would've pursued the research anyhow. And those same companies have learned to game the Orphan Drug Act in a bunch of different ways, allowing them to jack up their prices for no good reason. How could we fix the Orphan Drug Act?

Do you know of any literature she should look into regarding this? I'm very concerned for her child because she's limited her smoking to 3 cigarette

Are there any emerging technologies that you think could make this data collection easier? 16:09 How important has Medicaid expansion been to public health? 17:20 Senator ON Jimmy Kimmel's show, Senator Bill Cassidy said most kids are covered by the CHIP program and a rollback of medicaid wouldn't affect them. Is that true? Or any thoughts on that interview? 20:12 Do you think a system like the Canadian health care is sustainable for a huge population like the US? 20:56 ​I have a friend w/ Alzheimer's in his family; he's terrified of it & tries to restrict his sugar as he's read sugar causes Alzheimer's - is this true, or actual causation, not
You probably know where to pump the cheapest gas and how to get price comparisons online in seconds for headphones and cars. But how would you find the best deal on an M.R.I. or a knee replacement?

You’ve all experienced it: There’s a problem with your health care bill, or you have difficulty getting coverage for the care you need. Your doctor or hospital tells you to talk to your insurer.

This week's questions: 3:12 My Grandma recently complained to me about "hospitalists". She says PCPs used to treat their patients in the hospital as well. When did this change? Is the new model better? Cheaper? Why'd we switch? 5:34 Any advice for someone starting medical school this fall? 6:29 I'm nursing my husband who just had tonsil/adenoidectomy. As a pediatrician, why is it so much worse for adults than children? Just the whining? 7:48 ​How long after my last NyQuil is it safe to drink again? Is it the same 6 hours it takes to clear before another Nyquil or is it longer? True for other medicines? 9:31 Hi HCT, I have a question. It's about the stability of the individual healthcare market. I just left my job to be self employed and am signing up for an Oscar Simple Plan. But will they survive Trump? 12:23 How far have advancements in treatment of Alzheimer's come in the last few years? Is the current treatment showing promise and is there a timeline for public use? 13:12 ​I'm a undergrad nursing student interested in research. How do I go about refining a question I have into a workable hypothesis? 14:09 ​Is it considered a good thing for people with chronic disease, especially older folks, to be on so many prescription drugs or does more research need to be done to reduce medications? 14:51 Why do some people develop allergies as an adult? (I never had allergies but moved to a new city- Boom! Seasonal Allergies!) 15:57 How close are we to understanding how the brain allows consciousness? 16:22 ​What is the evidence based on antibiotics interaction with birth control? I've heard mixed news on it! 18:10 ​Do you think MCDAs (Multi Criteria Decision Analysis) is the way to the future when it comes to policy decisions? 19:05 ​What is the current state of training immune systems to accept organ transplants without suppressing them? 20:27 The definition of disorders like autism include frustration.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, intestines and other organs. A genetic mutation leads to secretory glands that don’t work well; lungs can get clogged with thick mucus; the pancreas can become plugged up; and the gut can fail to absorb enough nutrients. It has no cure. Over the last few decades, though, we have developed medications, diets and treatments for depredations of the disease. Care has improved so much that people with cystic fibrosis are living on average into their 40s in the United States. In Canada, however, they are living into their 50s. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage. This episode was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

For better or worse, health insurance in the United States is largely furnished by employers. One of the worse aspects of employer funded health care is that people may be less likely to change jobs, or to start a business. Here’s another possible consequence of repealing the Affordable Care Act: It would be harder for many people to retire early. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

Prescription drugs are pretty awesome. They improve lives all the time. But it is possible to take too many. Over time, as patients are prescribed more an more ongoing medications, it's a good idea to sometimes step back, evaluate, and think about whether people can drop some of their long-term meds. Between interactions and long term side effects, sometimes less is more when it comes to medicating patients.

Substance abuse and addiction are terrible for addicts health, and they're really tough on family and friends. Addiction also drives up the violent crime rate, and the rate of property crime. This week on Healthcare Triage, Aaron Carroll is looking at research on how diverting addicts to treatment programs has a positive effect on crime rates.
The Senate is trying once again to repeal and replace Obamacare, and we've got the news on what's in the updated bill. Spoiler Alert: not much has changed.

Spinal manipulation for lower back pain turns out to be a thing. For a lot of reasond, MDs have been suspicious of chiropractors and other practitioners of spinal manipulation, but new studies indicate that spinal manipulation is as effective as other treatments for low back pain. It turns out, people really do get relief from these treatments. SO. For lower back pain, at least, maybe an adjustment is appropriate. Good luck getting your insurance to pay for it, though.

Last week we talked about the Senate's bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, and whether Mitch McConnell would be able to get it passed and on to President Trump's desk. So far, no dice. Several senators have defected from the effort, and serious health problems for John McCain means the bill hasn't gotten a vote yet. And it might not have one anytime soon. AND there still isn't a CBO score. Because of the complexities added by the Cruz amendment. We've got all the details here.

While a few people die from heart attacks while running marathons each year, a far greater number of people are impacted by the traffic disruptions marathons cause. People who suffer heart problems during marathons can face delays in treatment thanks to traffic. Those delays in both CPR and arrival at the hospital lead to measurably worse outcomes for patients.

Last week, Republicans in the Senate didn't quite manage to repeal and/or replace the Affordable Care Act. So, why exactly can't Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Donald Trump get Obamacare repealed. For one thing, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski were stalwart in their resistance to taking away people's insurance without a plan to replace it. And some late-night dramatics from John McCain put the bill over the top. Or, under the bottom, I guess. It didn't pass.

Firearms have a long and unique history in the United States. They're controversial, and they have a huge impact on public health and safety. This month's special Healthcare Triage series will look at firearms as a public health issue in the United States. This week, we'll be looking at the history of guns in the US, and how gun legislation has changed over the last couple of hundred years, and how courts' interpretations of the second amendment have changed. In the next few weeks, we'll look at gun homicides, gun suicides, and firearm policy. Update: When we called the AR15 an assault rifle, we probably should have said assault weapon. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

This week, the Congressional Budget Office delivered a report on how Donald Trump's suggestion that the federal government may stop making cost sharing payments to private health insurance companies. This would be problematic for health insurance markets, but it would also have the knock on effect of increasing the budget deficit.
We continue our special look at guns and public health in the United States. This week, we're looking at how easily accessible firearms complicate the suicide rate in the United States. While people have always committed suicide, guns certainly make suicide attempts a lot more likely to succeed. Once again, there are things we can do to mitigate this.

With all the recent studies of medical marijuana and its benefits, some researchers have become interested in researching the use of psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA for treating mental illness. It's hard to research though, because of the drugs' legal status as Schedule I drugs. This makes them very hard for researchers to obtain, it makes it hard to get research approved, and it make it difficult to find funding for these studies. Aaron Carroll has the details.

How do breathalyzers work? And will there ever be a breathalyzer for marijuana? As pot has become legal in several states, law enforcement has sought a method to detect marijuana use in drivers. This is complicated, though. Breathalyzers for alcohol work on principles that don't necessarily work for pot. And they've been extensively researched, which is difficult to do with federal controls on marijuana. There may never be a breathalyzer for pot, but one thing's is for sure: eating your own feces won't beat a breathalyzer.

This week, Donald Trump's administration continued to try and undermine the Affordable Care Act by terminating cost-sharing payments to insurers. Ironically, in the long run, this will increase premiums, which will mean the federal government is on the hook to pay subsidies for Obamacare marketplace enrollees with lower incomes. This video is adapted from a column by Nick Bagley at the Incidental Economist: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/cutting-off-the-cost-sharing-payments/ Nick Bagley and Craig Garthwaite's NY Times Op-ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/29/opinion/trump-care-mcconnell-obamacare.html Aaron has a book coming out November 7.

From 2009 onward, federal policy about sex education tended to favor an evidence based approach. If a sex education program worked, and was supported by rigorous evidence, the federal government would potentially back it. This was true of sex ed programs that taught students about STDs and contraceptives, and abstinence-based programs. As long as there was evidence for it, the program was eligible. In the last year, policy has dictated that the federal funding show a preference for abstinence only programs. And spoiler alert, the abstinence only programs don't work that well.

The US healthcare system has a lot of issues, but one thing it's got going for it is innovation. More clinical trials originate in the United States, and more Nobel Physiology and Medicine Laureates are from here than from any other country. The key: the huge US health care market. We spend a LOT on health, which means there's lots of money to be made. That doesn't, however, mean that we couldn't innovate better.

Senior Trump Administration official Seema Verma has written that Medicare is in financial trouble, and one step in fixing it is giving consumers "incentives to be cost-conscious." This may be coded language for something called premium support for Medicare, which boils down to patients paying more, and the government cutting funding for medicare. Aaron has the details.

A couple of months ago, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services created an exemption to the Affordable Care Act's requirement that employers cover birth control for their employees.

Health research is difficult for a bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is the practice of using lawsuits to stifle research. A researcher finds that a product is harmful, and the producers of that product attack the researcher in court, in an attempt to discredit the scientists, stop the research, and protect profits. This has happened with lead, it's happened with guns, and it has happened with synthetic amphetamines in dietary supplements. Unbelievable, but true. Aaron has a book out now!

Every once in a while, we like to take a moment and focus on health systems around the world. Today, we're looking at Taiwan, which made the transition to a single payer system kind of suddenly, and pretty recently.
The idea that spending more on preventive care will reduce overall health care spending is widely believed and often promoted as a reason to support reform. Unfortunately, that doesn't pan out in real life.

American healthcare spending is still WAY higher than pretty much all other industrialized countries. But not that long ago, things were different. The US didn't spend nearly as much in this realm. What changed? Demographics? More sickness? Nah. Spoiler alert, prices have risen much, much faster than the rate of inflation. We've got a few suggestions for getting it under control.

Retiring early may lengthen your life. Several recent studies have noted that retiring early can increase life expectancy. It worked for the Dutch, so it might work for you. Conventional wisdom often points to work keeping you young and giving you purpose and camaraderie. But, the number seem to indicate that cutting out of work can delay shuffling off this mortal coil.

Stents are a popular treatment for angina pectoris, or chest pain usually resulting from narrowed arteries. Getting a stent is a serious procedure, with no small risk associated with it. And recent studies indicate that stents don't do much to reduce recipients' chance of future heart problems. They do offer some pain relief, but research indicates that may just be our old friend, the placebo effect. This video was adapted from a column Aaron wrote for the Upshot.

Overweight and obesity among children is a real concern, and eating habits established in early childhood are a factor.

In the next year and a half, we here at Healthcare triage are going to take some deep dives into issues of health policy, especially those that touch on social determinants of health and health equity. The episodes that do so will be a bit longer than usual. They’ll look a little different. They also come to you thanks to the support of the RWJF, which has generously supported their creation. We’re excited about this opportunity to really dig in, and we hope you will be, too. What works to promote the health of children? What programs exist that provide services to families and children that have been studied rigorously? How well do these programs work? And what are the benefits compared to the cost of the program? And why does this matter? Early childhood interventions are increasing in popularity across the country in liberal and conservative places, but still questions remain about the research behind them. We’re going to use those questions to frame our discussion of the work, and we’re going to start by broadly talking about the first question. Because it’s hard to discuss whether early childhood programs work before we know what early childhood programs are.

Are early childhood programs a good use of resources? In this series so far, we've talked about what childhood programs are, and whether they work. Now, we get to the question of whether or not they pay off. One of the reasons that life expectancy at birth has gone up so much in recent decades is because we’ve gotten better at taking care of childhood illnesses. When you prevent a child from dying, you add on, well, a lifetime of life. That makes a big difference in long-term statistics. There’s a similar effect when you make things better for a child. You can end up adding a lot of value. This also applies to early childhood interventions. If we do good for children, and the effects last a lifetime, we may be able to make a lot of the money that we spent investing pay off. Do early childhood interventions do that? We continue our deep dive into the RAND Corporation’s comprehensive report on early childhood programs in this episode of Healthcare Triage.

In 2005, when the RAND Corporation wrote about early childhood interventions, they argued that the evidence to date showed those interventions improved outcomes and generated benefits that outweighed the costs. More than ten years later, the number of programs and studies has increased by a factor of five. There are more than three times as many benefit cost analyses. We’ve given you a lot to think about in the last three weeks. But how do we use all this data to decide what to do in the future? That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

Every year, more than 700 mothers die from complications related to pregnancy and delivery, leaving behind grieving families as well as urgent policy questions about how we – as a country – can do better. Between the 1980s and 2010, the maternal mortality rate doubled in the US. Clearly, birth should be safer for moms in the US. All moms. But it’s not. Some moms are at greater risk.

Subscribe to Healthcare Triage! https://bit.ly/2GlEYWG Promising health studies often don’t pan out in reality. The reasons are many. Research participants are usually different from general patients; their treatment doesn’t match real-world practice; researchers can devote resources not available in most physician offices. Moreover, most studies, even the gold standard of randomized controlled trials, focus squarely on causality. They are set up to see if a treatment will work in optimal conditions, what scientists call efficacy. They’re “explanatory.” Efficacy is important. But what we also need are studies that test if a treatment will work in the real world — if they have effectiveness. These different kinds of studies actually exist. They are called pragmatic trials, and a recent one might have helped serve as a brake as the opioid epidemic accelerated. That’s the topic of this week’s HCT.

An entire issue of the journal Social Science and Medicine was recently devoted to it, with many articles pointing to shortcomings. Others have argued that randomized controlled trials often can’t address the questions that patients and physicians most want answered. But the randomized controlled trial remains a powerful tool.

In the next year and a half, we here at Healthcare Triage are going to take some deep dives into issues of health policy, especially those that touch on social determinants of health and health equity. The episodes that do so will be a bit longer than usual. They’ll look a little different. They also come to you thanks to the support of the RWJF, which has generously supported their creation. We’re excited about this opportunity to really dig in, and we hope you will be, too. For the next three weeks,we’re going to talk about work requirements. First, we’ll talk about the basics and other government work promotion efforts, then we’ll discuss what we’ve learned from TANF, and finally we’ll discuss what this might mean for Medicaid. Work requirements are the topic of the next three episodes of HCT.

Last week we talked about different ways to promote work in safety net programs: incentives or carrots, like the Earned Income Tax Credit and disincentives or sticks like work requirements. Policy makers have tried out work requirements in a number of programs, thinking that they might lead to reduced poverty and reduced government spending. How did that go? Answering that question might inform our current policy arguments, like work requirements for Medicaid. Let’s delve into the research. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

We’ve spent the last few weeks talking work requirements for safety net programs, and it’s all been leading up to this: work requirements for Medicaid.

Aaron's guest this month is Dr. Bernice Pescosolido, who is a medical sociologist at Indiana University. Dr. Pescosolido studies the environments, neighborhoods, and connections that contribute to patients' identities, and looks how this social fabric works or doesn't work for some people. Particularly, Dr. Pescosolido studies the rising suicide rates in the United States, and tries to track the pathways that have led victims to suicide. She also studies what kind of social factors contribute to how patients come into contact with (or don't manage to engage with) the medical system.

The US healthcare system has a huge gap. A lot of care giving isn't covered, and it falls on families and friends to pick up the slack.

For a lot of doctors and patients, the physician's traditional white coat is a big part of a doctor's identity, and contributes to their authority. Those white coats can also spread disease!

When Aaron went to Malaysia to learn about medical tourism, he became a medical tourist himself after he was mugged by a monkey. The monkey stole Aaron's glasses, and he had to have new ones made. It turned out to be pretty easy! Malaysia and many other countries actually encourage people from outside their countries to travel there for care. While it's probably not worth traveling internationally just to save on eyeglasses, there are a lot of arguments in favor of the practice generally.

Several states have recently passed or considered strict limitations on abortion. Some of these laws are crafted in a way that misunderstands the nature of pregnancy and the risks of miscarriages.

Over the last year, we at Healthcare Triage have taken some deep dives into issues of health policy, especially those that touch on social determinants of health and health equity. The episodes that do so are a bit longer than usual. They look a little different. They also come to you thanks to the support of the RWJF, which has generously supported their creation. We’re excited about this opportunity to really dig in, and we hope you will be, too. For the next four weeks, we’re going to talk about housing. Framing and introducing the issue is the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

We’re talking about housing for four weeks, thanks to the support of the RWJF! In the last episode, we introduced you to the pathways by which we might think about improving housing for low-income individuals. Today we’re going to get specific. One policy which focuses on affordability is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. TR Goldman wrote a great policy brief about it in Health Affairs. It’s also the topic of this week’s HCT.

We’re talking about housing for four weeks, thanks to the support of the RWJF! The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (last week’s episode topic) stimulates production in order to increase the supply of affordable housing available to poorer people in the United States. But there’s another way to tackle our housing problem, and that’s by targeting /demand/ by giving people vouchers to help them pay for housing and assisting them to move to higher opportunity neighborhoods. While helping people with their rent can be helpful, the real benefits start to accrue when people move to neighborhoods with more opportunity. Vouchers alone don't insure that outcome. Rebecca Gale wrote about this in a recent Health Affairs Policy Brief. It’s also the topic of this week’s HCT.

We’ve talked about how housing is important for health. We’ve talked about how we can improve access to housing through stimulation of production through the LIHTC. We’ve talked about how we can improve access through vouchers and mobility programs. There’s one more thing we’d like to discuss: Inclusionary zoning. Zoning rules are important for making neighborhoods and municipalities function smoothly, but they can also be written in ways that keep low-income residents from moving to certain neighborhoods. David Tuller, a lecturer in UC Berkeley's School of Public Health and Graduate School of Journalism, wrote about this recently in a policy brief at Health Affairs. It’s also the topic of this week’s HCT.

Skin cancer is a big problem. Sunscreen can help protect your skin. All this is very well known. It turns out, though, that the active ingredients in sunscreen can get into peoples' bloodstreams in pretty high concentrations. And the effects of sunscreen on the environment isn't well studied. While sunscreen probably is safe for human use, and might be bad for the environment, we should still look closely at the products we're using to protect ourselves. Related HCT episodes: 1.

Performative overwork is more and more common in the United States, and long hours have long been the norm in medicine. During residency, doctors have traditionally been asked to work for up to 100 hours per week. A rule in 2003 capped residents hours at 80 hours per week. Older docs claim this practice skimps on training, and might be worse for patients. A new study indicates that there is no discernable reduction in quality of care across a number of metrics. Maybe the good old days weren't so great. Related HCT episodes: 1.

Nutrition studies are really, really bad a lot of the time. Sometimes researchers don't do careful work, and the systems in place don't always prevent weak research from being published. Add that to the fact that media outlets tend to overblow stories about food and cancer, and it's a recipe for research disaster.

GMOs. Vaccines. Death Panels. There are a lot of "beliefs" circulating about a wide variety of health policy issues. Luckily, these are all pretty well researched areas. Thanks to thorough investigations, we can conclude with certainty that vaccines are safe and effective, that GMOs are generally safe, and that the Affordable Care Act was not intended to execute any old people. But here's a funny thing about these beliefs: telling people the facts about these things doesn't convince them to change their mind. It turns out, the people who hold to these ideas most stridently are the least knowledgeable about science, but BELIEVE they are the most knowledgeable about these subjects.

Drinking during pregnancy is roundly frowned upon, for good reason. It's a huge risk factor for lots of post-natal problems. But prevention can be counter intuitive.

Lots of parents in the United States rely on paid childcare so that they can do things like go to work, or get things done in a reasonably efficient manner. Daycare provider rules that keep sick kids at home for things like pink eye or a fever can make parents lives more difficult, and usually for no good reason. Many providers won't let kids back in without proof that they're taking antibiotics, even for mild illnesses that wouldn't benefit from such a treatment.

We spend a lot of money on social programs. Studies indicate that a lot of those programs work to improve health outcomes for people who receive the benefits. So, does that social spending reduce healthcare costs? Not really. But cutting social spending doesn't help with health.

Aaron talks to Dr. Tatiana Foroud about her career and her current work in genetics and genomics. Her work spans from the early days of searching for DNA markers for rare disorders to today's search for genetic causes and potential treatments around Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Foroud's career relates a story about how the technology and techniques have developed over decades, and how these breakthroughs could lead to new treatments. We'll also get into the explosion in home genetic testing, and how this trend has changed public perception of genetic testing and treatments.

There is a lot of evidence that not getting enough to eat has a negative effect on health and well-being. So, what are we going to do about it. Today, we're talking about some programs that work to help people get the nutrition they need to survive and thrive. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program, or SNAP (also known as food stamps) is one of the best known programs, but it isn't the only one.

Many fast food restaurants are now creating products with plant-based meat substitutes that are pretty convincingly meatlike. Some of these chains are positioning these foods as "healthier options."

New studies indicate that beef is not really all that bad for your health, as long as you eat it in moderation. BUT, don't think you're off the hook yet. The production of beef turns out to have a lot of environmental downsides. Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat aren't really the answer either, since ground beef isn't the problem. The problem with replacing meat is that right now, we can only make steaks out of cows.

As the vaccine to protect against Covid-19 continues to roll out to more and more people, interest in side effects is high. This can lead to lots of media coverage when people experience side effects, particularly when serious side effects occur. We're here to talk about side effects and put some of these stories in context, which will hopefully leave less room for disiformation and scare tactics to be part of the conversation.

We face a lot of obstacles on the road to ending the opioid crisis, and one of them revolves around access to evidence-based addiction treatments. The X-waiver, a waiver physicians must obtain to prescribe the partial opioid agonist Buprenorphine, is one of them.

The issues surrounding sex testing in sports may seem like a new phenomenon, but this has been coming up at least since women were allowed to compete in the Olympics – so, for like the past century or so. There’s a whole lot of concern over who is allowed to compete in women-only sports, and various “solutions” have been aimed at allaying those concerns. But are they effective? Do they make sense?
The first mRNA vaccine to gain full FDA approval was for COVID-19, but the future could see more of this type of vaccine – including those for cancer.
