We found therapeutic value with the “Ice Bucket”. This is good and they also kept straight faces through all of
this, but in fact it works! Dr. Mike starts out talking about how a person could help themselves when experiencing a racing heartbeat, or palpitations.
The most common he states is “PAT” to where the heartbeat is racing. It is not considered life threatening and can be triggered by a number of things and can include annoying symptoms. Dr. Mike goes through and demonstrates things we can do to stop the racing heart and bring the heart back to a normal rhythm.
Now we have a new solution demonstrated here which is the “Ice Bucket” methodology that can be used as another alternative.
The man’s heartbeat is racing and the staff comes forward to apply the new treatment:)
He feels much better after the “Ice Bucket” treatment and the results are confirmed both by a human and the Alive-Cor cell phone app, so we have double the proof that the “Ice Bucket” methodology can work. I just wrote about the recent FDA approval of the cell phone app as well, links below. Before it was FDA approved, I told a veterinarian in the OC about the app and device as well when I had taken my dog in for a visit over a year ago. You can see the readings in the video below.

This method may not always be the most convenient for relief though and you need someone to “man” the bucket:) Good show.
You may remember Dr. Mike from last year when he worked for years in his spare time to produce a “Grammy” winner with Omar Akram for best New Age Album of the year and guess what music you hear in his waiting room. Here’s a short clip from his acceptance speech as I think it it something we all need to think about again today as we live in a world with too many folks confusing “virtual” and “real” world values at times.
“Sixteen years ago, a friend of mine came up to me and asked, ‘How are your investments doing?’”
“He then said, ‘Have you ever thought
of investing in a human being?’”.
“He subsequently introduced me to Omar; I was moved by his music and we have worked together ever since. I can go on and on but suffice it to say, if anyone is able to, I would encourage them to invest in a human being. What you will find is when you help someone else achieve their dreams, in some miraculous way you achieve your own dreams as well.”
I might add it might make a nice addition to tune in after using the new “Ice Bucket” methodologies shown above to chill the mind down as well. BD
insurer in the face with the allegations of pay for performance measures as it is stated they created an incentive to staff to admit and retain ineligible patients by giving out bonuses and other incentives based up on meeting their targets. It’s also beginning to sound like the same stat rats at the VA as well, who were so stuck on numbers they could not make a left turn to save a life. The bonuses (or as sometimes called P4P) were for staff members who admitted, certified and recertified and discharging patients. 
Outreach who’s duty was to troll nursing homes, hospitals and other care facilities to obtain new clients. Now sales portions take place everywhere and nothing wrong with sales people, and they received commissions on the news of new admissions. I can’t see a problem there but as long as the sales calls were good will calls and not looking for ineligible patients. 
at the beginning of 2015 will be a thing of the past. It may not sound like a big deal but for those who are on fixed income, it is a big deal that helps. Again this applies towards those who retired before 2000 as those who retired later already had their subsidiary ripped. BD 
and maybe something unexpected popped up in that area as the note does reference the hospital wants to be a “safe” facility. In addition the hospital has also had financial issues in struggling to pay both employees and vendors in the last 3-4 years. Who knows, maybe they need a loan to fix the boiler? RKM Management is the owner of the hospital. The ER room is closed and the next closest facility is 24 miles away which concerns residents. 
and thus there’s the tug and pull and if it is subsidiary of an insurance company, there’s a lot of a revenue stream with the audits. 
decisions and I would imagine there could be quite a few takers on this as it represents one less headache of bean counters in the virtual/real world confusion we live in today which I call “The Grays”, a very big problem indeed. 
This is a new project that is measuring the use of orthopedic or prosthetic devices and the patient owns the device and the data, very cool. The 
Why? We all know insurers make a ton of money selling our data and they buy a lot of our data as well. Here’s an example of a company that buys your credit card data, analyzes it and “scores” your behavior before selling it as then they can charge the insurers more and of course this comes out down the tubes in higher premiums at some point as all of this is not cheap as companies are making millions doing this. So staying away from data selling entities like this are a sure win for consumers here. 
We license people for things with far less risk, like a license to catch a fish for one example, sell real estate, sell stock, do hair and nails and the list goes on and there’s nowhere near the big risk is with selling data as the consumers get hurt. Licensing would not stop data selling but it would rather make companies accountable and transparent, as the levels of flawed data are on the rise out there too. 
I also said when this situation first erupted that this was the issue with the administrators at the VA living too much in the virtual world. If you happened to watch one report from Anderson Cooper, he commented and walked away with the same perception “all they talked about were their numbers”. So again a report like this is not going to be completely conclusive and maybe it’s the news media tweaking the title here a bit too? 
a lot of that out there and I write about it all the time. Again being I was a developer and partly due to the way I’m wired I can pick it like a sore thumb. 
know in tech that to help those not in tech we have to change our terminology into some form of “Pig Latin” so others can understand what’s going on, what needs to be done, etc. In other words, translate from tech world to the layman world and that’s not always easy to do. There are some that lie and cheat during this process and they eventually are found out when someone else gets a glimpse of their code or just flat out calls “foul”. The White House privacy person quit as well and she may have been the wrong person in the wrong job from what I saw from her short term in office too. 
but it it necessary and you don’t have to write code to have it, but it is easier to master if you have written code. Just last week every one in technology just laughed our asses off listening to the new White House Cyber Security Head just brag about how he has very little technology background. Well we all know he’s headed down the delusional perception path and he’s up to be a big “dupee” for sure. Just the fact that he made that speech tells you he’s going to to be a dupee. 
What’s even scarier sometimes is to listen to them talk about their own perceptions at times too. 
which they are entitled to do by all means. Sure it got the attention of some California lawmakers but if they don’t do it in public they can still contact the lawmakers without a public display. 
I do like the content here too that Tech Dirt brought up about our next 
r so that explains the politics here as it’s never easy for them, but his claims were important as he exposed serious problems with the transplant record keeping and they fired him afterwards. The battle then went forward with Dr. Steve Goldschmid, dean of the UA College of Medicine. 
he can’t see his doctor anymore as they don’t see any Covered California patients. That is frustrating and this might go back to the mess with doctors getting paid 30% less from Blue Cross and Blue Shield with policies bought through the exchange. It was so bad for a while that the insurers had to go back and up the reimbursement a bit and still the lists of who was in network and who was not was still a mess. 
Blue Shield showed that we were discounted some 20-30% of our previously paid services and the check was now going to the patient and not the provider. We have been trying to get these checks from the patients who love getting these Blue Shield checks and keeping them. As physicians are finding this out they are mad and are starting to demand payment up front from the patient and give them a superbill so they can bill Blue Shield. What a mess.”
part of the settlement here, not to use it anymore. The big AMA court case filed by Cuomo in New York was for 15 years of short paying doctors all across the country. It was not just United/Optum involved here as they licensed it to other insurers, like Aetna who proposed their case at the end of last year for underpaying for around 15 years. Health Net if I remember correctly was one of the first to stop using the data base and settle. 
to those who saw the doctor’s body. He had just completed his residency at NYU and he left his keys and NYU ID on the roof. 
about how it was impacting folks in Tennessee and you can see in the video and comments that consumers were by algorithmic error being sent to the wrong kind of doctors as a replacement, i.e. gynecologists as their new family practice MD and more.
