From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will need some input as we will be discussing "THE VIRTUAL PATIENT." This refers to the distance placed between patients and those learning to be doctors. With the in-out revolving door and the emphasis on efficiency, patients are being replaced by images (MRI, CT, sonograms etc.) and mannequins.
"When was the last time an autopsy was performed doctor?" "We don't do them anymore, now that we have scanning devices."
Physical diagnosis is being replaced by technology and thus the sky-rocketing cost of medical care. Patients are not in hospitals long enough for students to work them up.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION--GOOD? BAD? if so, what is your answer if there is one? Tune in, should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds for Jul7 22, 2007
Sorry for the late posting - I was in an Internet eclipse for a couple of weeks...
From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will discuss "Tobacco." A Senate Committed is sponsoring a bill to give the FDA authority to regulate chemical levels in cigarettes in an effort to produce a more "safer" cigarette. We will discuss the new drugs available to help quit the habit. Remember the ad "Doctors prefer Camels?" Doctors now prefer four-legged camels. I had my picture taken on one--cost me $20. When I tried to get off the animal the owner wouldn't let me down until I gave him another $20! Chisler--yep, he was wearing a sheet and had a beard. I'd still be on that camel if I didn't have the extra 20.

MARCO Grand Rounds for July 15, 2007
From Warren, KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will continue the discussion of Lymphoma. Hodgkins Lymphoma is one of the first cancers to be "curable." How far have we come towards "curing" non-Hodgkins? Have we come as far as to have a patient in remission run for President of the U.S.?
We now know that the leukemias and lymphomas are closely related and progress is rather rapid. Tune in, should be interesting--14.307, Sunday 10 a.m. Eastern.
CW net will start at 9:30 a.m Eastern on 14.307.

MARCO Grand Rounds for July 8, 2007
From Warren, KD4GUA:
Last Sunday we discussed "how to stop medicines." We didn't quite finish, so we will conclude that this Sunday. If we have time we will then discuss Lymphoma, latest treatments etc.
Another tentative name has been submitted for the Newsletter....MARCO Polo--world traveler who spreads the news? Comment requested.
