mgh pcp :: Article Creator Doctors Ghost Patients, Charge For Surgeries Left To Residents Doctors at some of the largest US teaching hospitals are blowing the whistle on a lucrative practice they say endangers patients: Surgeons scheduling two or even three operations at virtually the same time, leaving during critical portions, then billing Medicare for work they didn't do. A review of more than a dozen federal and state lawsuits offers a rare glimpse into a tight-lipped profession. Many include separate allegations of bribery, kickbacks, and improper compensation. Some reveal closed-door debates by hospital administrators over the ethics, safety, and staggering profits brought by concurrent surgeries.

rmc obgyn :: Article Creator OBGYN Now Faces 53 Misconduct Claims That He Crossed Line With Patients CHICAGO (CBS) – A west suburban OBGYN has been stripped of his state medical license, as now 53 people allege he crossed the line while offering care. Dr. Vernon Cannon was an OBGYN at the DuPage Medical Group - now known as Duly Health and Care. In January, we first reported on Dr. Cannon as allegations and lawsuits piled up claiming he would meet with patients while intoxicated. On Wednesday, a different group of former patients now alleged a different kind of violation. CBS 2's Chris Tye heard from an attorney for Cannon for the first time Wednesday.

They said Cannon's alleged actions were a breach that rattled their faith in the medical system. "I do have tattoos on my lower abdomen, and that's h

dtp vaccine for adults :: Article Creator What's The Difference Between Td And Tdap Vaccines? Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are potentially deadly bacterial diseases. To continue the protection provided by childhood vaccination, boosters for tetanus have long been recommended for adults every 10 years.  Dr. Noah Gregory King, a pediatrician in Aurora, Ill. Explains that there are two vaccines commonly given to adults as tetanus boosters – Td and Tdap. The Td vaccine has been used as a booster for adults for a long time and it protects against tetanus and diphtheria.   The other vaccine for adults – Tdap – has been used since 2005.
