MARCO Grand Rounds for May 4, 2014

From Warren KD4GUA:

This Sunday, by request, we will discuss “PSORIASIS.”  

Osteopathic CME apparently now calls GRAND ROUNDS CME Category 2-B…if any of your credits bounce let me know and I will send out a new certificate as the old one calls it “Category II.” 

DID YOU KNOW THAT…in ancient times strangers shook hands to show that they were unarmed; the salute originated when knights wore helmets and had to raise them in a saluting mannerr to speak.  Tune in Sunday……and bring your itching powder.

MARCO Grand Rounds for April 13, 2014

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we are going to discuss STATIN DRUGS.   At a recent Hospital Conference the newer cholesterol lowered drugs known as PCSK9 inhibitors which are still in clinical trials were reviewed.  They are showing promise but must be injected once or twice a month.

Jim K4JWA suggested reading the book "THE LAST WELL PERSON. How to stay well despite the Health-Care System," by Nortin Hadler M.D.   I bought a used version from Amazon.com for about 4 dollars and just can't put it down!!!!  The book is logical and not flim flam, the author went to Harvard  and is a Professor at the Univ. of N.C. at Chapel Hill.  We will throw some of his ideas into the discussion Sunday.

MARCO Grand Rounds for April 6, 2014

From Warren KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will discuss "Medicare OKays cardiac rehab for heart failure."    Would you have the gumption to send a fellow who can't walk up a flight of stairs into cardiac rehab?  Should be an interesting discussion.  Details can be found on  "HF-Action Trial".
