Thursday, December 12, 2002Glenn Reynolds reports that his state is getting ready for smallpox, and so is Oklahoma. (Meanwhile, my state still isn’t reaching out to practicing physicians.) RangelMD has an excellent rant on jackpot justice juries. If you haven’t heard, in a move worthy of Monty Python, two jurors from Mississippi are suing 60 Minutes for insulting them. Not them personally, just juries from Jackson County, Mississippi, the national center of jackpot justice. Does it get any better than that? Medrants has a post on pharmaceutical company influence in physicians' prescribing habits, especially among teaching programs. There really is no such thing as a free lunch. He also points out in the next post, that his hospital’s electronic entry for drug orders hasn’t eliminated errors, something I’ve always suspected. It seems to me that data entry errors would be harder to catch than hand-written errors. Hand-written orders have to be read by two or three people to fulfill them, and if an error is made, it’s more likely to be caught in one of those readings. Ross at The Bloviator has the latest update on the Israeli smallpox vaccination experience. posted by Sydney on 12/12/2002 07:58:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
