May is ALS awareness month! No direct cause, diagnoses are limited, prognosis is 2-5 years post diagnosis and there is no cure. It’s a mystery ailment that hits close to home that should be looked into. Even if the ice bucket challenge has passed #IC_HLTH_33510

I love actually knowing what his means now ty @moylanhlthplcy but, this relates to class in that as more and more people are eligible in Utah and educated, the stigma of oh “they’re (Medicaid recipients) so lazy and undeserving” will hopefully start to fade... #IC_HLTH_33510

We’re always talking about healthcare around physical health, but we can’t forget about mental health. Serious conditions with the same problems of access, availability and cost as physical ailments! #IC_HLTH_33510

Wild to see different places around the globe and how they react differently to vaccination. Most countries are grateful for the opportunity. Culture and attitude has everything to do with vaccine campaigns #IC_HLTH_33510

There’s a number of things that stick out from this article like the cost of procedure and the patient being informed of the risks and outcomes that could’ve occurred. Is informed choice necessary when the procedure isn’t doctor recommended but patient sought out? #IC_HLTH_33510

@moylanhlthplcy I know my grandma definitely has this issue. She gives up trying to understand her physician when someone isn’t there to translate into more broken down terms or repeat what her physician said. I’m not sure whether this problem is as easy to solve as it may seem #IC_HLTH_33510

[Kayla @Kayla38870331]

I’m pretty sure we talked about this in class the other day. Other countries don’t treat with out patients taking initiative, but should patients have the right to care regardless of habits that are progressing their condition? #IC_HLTH_33510

We know the personal cost of smoking, but what does continuing to smoke cost the healthcare system? Based on research from @JAMA_current.

How you define the health of a population is important in examining where resources need to be allocated. This is like the example we had in class about defining needs and assessing the IC population! #IC_HLTH_33510

Excited for the networking trip next weekend to Cleveland through IC! We will be visiting the Cleveland clinic who focuses on the patient experience instead of treating people just as a case and number! #IC_HLTH_33510

Could public health initiatives of screening catch severe cases? Also, could this be the start of a new common source epidemic? #IC_HLTH_33510

I had previously only thought of the bystander effect in crime. Yet it seems like it translates to the medical field too. Take action when you see something that needs to be changed. #IC_HLTH_33510

[NEJM @NEJM]

In cases in which the “bystander effect” seems to be at play in medicine, inaction by a group of clinicians usually takes the form of tacit acceptance of the status quo when the status quo isn’t working. What can social psychology teach us about such group failures?

[Kayla @Kayla38870331]

Increased media around the measles outbreak! “Your children are dying and you’re responsible. Get children vaccinated.” #IC_HLTH_33510

[CDC @CDCgov]

Globally, 246 children die every day - that’s 10 every hour - from #measles - despite the fact that a safe and effective vaccine has been available for more than 50 years. Protect all children with routine immunization.
