Honestly I don't think we even need to go that far; police should just use the laws that they already have at their disposal. Look at this shooting in Highland Park, here we have a guy who was known to police to be a danger to society

I think you could take the opposite view as well. Yes, if they could treat employees poorly then they would, but they can't so they don't. There is more demand for talent than there is supply of talent. I work at a company that ha

Preach! What we ultimately need is just a law that says it is illegal for companies to collect or store any data for marketing purposes, tracking, or resale. No opt ins, no exceptions. Unfortunately we can't fully kill targeted or unso

You are viewing the experience as purely transactional, but they may view going there as a tradition and may think they have a relationship with the place (i.e. they are a regular). In addition, it sounds like they kick-started a tradition

If we are recommending actual life sciences textbooks or literature, I would recommend the Hallmarks of Cancer, which is actually a review article. Simply reading that alone will give someone a strong basic understanding for how cancerous t

I would also add Complications to that list. As a former life sciences researcher, I've loved everything that Atul Gawande has written.

A surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for example will cost ~50K I believe? It will be covered by insurance if it is necessary. There are also less invasive forms of valve replacement (transcatheter / percutaneous) which involve c

I feel you are being overly pessimistic. We can still accomplish substantive change, we just need to know how to market it. A message of collective sacrifice doesn't resonate with a society like ours because we don't view ourselve

Yes, what I was insinuating is that you should talk to your doctor about keeping occasional drug use out of the EHR before revealing any data.
