Posts of the week
Here are last week's most visited posts at Kevin, M.D.:
The myth that preventive medicine saves money
Both Presidential nominees actively flaunt the cost-efficiency of preventive medicine. In fact, the opposite is true. Prevention costs money.
Physicians and blogging
Dr. Wes has recently undergone some trying times associated with his blog. He's wondering whether it's worth it to continue the effort.
Universal coverage and primary care
Radically skewing the payment system towards cognitive services is the only solution that will provide short-term changes. By radical, I mean tripling or quadrupling the RVUs assigned for office visits at the expense of procedures.
How do you tackle the physician shortage?
Raise their salaries 50 percent.
Bashing Demerol
There is really no positive indication for its use.
