Isabella Rosario Blum was wrapping up medical school and considering residency programs to become a family practice physician when she got some frank advice: If she wanted to be trained to provide abortions, she shouldn’t stay in Arizona. Blum turned to programs mostly in states where abortion access — and, by extension, abortion training — is likely to remain protected, like California, Colorado, and New Mexico. Arizona has enacted a law banning most abortions after 15 weeks. “I would really like to have all the training possible,” she said, “so of course that would have still been a limitati...

Una mañana de enero de 2021, Carol Rosen recibió un tratamiento estándar para el cáncer de mama metastásico. Murió después de tres semanas de sufrimiento, con un dolor insoportable causado por la misma droga que debería haber ayudado a prolongar su vida.

La piel se le desprendía del cuerpo. Sus riñones y su hígado habían dejado de funcionar. “Tu cuerpo arde desde”, dijo la hija de Rosen, Lindsay Murray, de ...

Brad Wenstrup emphatically told the committee’s five witnesses: “Hang with us.” Federal lawmakers face a year-end deadline to solidify or scuttle an array of covid-era payment changes for telehealth services that include allowing people to stay in their homes to see a doctor or therapist. During the hearing in early March, Wenstrup and other House members offered personal anecdotes on how telehealth, home visits, and remote monitoring helped their patients, relatives, and constituents.

Un joven de 17 años, con el pelo rubio desgreñado, se subió a la balanza del Centro de Salud Familiar Tri-River de Uxbridge, en Massachusetts. Después que lo pesaran, caminó hacia un consultorio decorado con calcomanías de planetas y personajes de dibujos animados. Una enfermera le tomó la presión arterial. Un pediatra le preguntó por sus estudios, su vida familiar y sus amigos. Parecía un examen de rutina para adolescentes, de los miles que se hacen a diario en consultas pediátricas en el país. Hasta que el doctor Safdar Medina le preguntó: “¿Tienes deseos de consumir opioides?”. El paciente ...

When the FDA recently convened a committee of advisers to assess a cardiac device made by Abbott, the agency didn’t disclose that most of them had received payments from the company or conducted research it had funded — information readily available in a federal database. One member of the FDA advisory committee was linked to hundreds of payments from Abbott totaling almost $200,000, according to a database maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services. Another was connected to 100 payments totaling about $100,000 and conducted research supported by about $50,000 from Abbott. A thi...

A 17-year-old boy with shaggy blond hair stepped onto the scale at Tri-River Family Health Center in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. After he was weighed, he headed for an exam room decorated with decals of planets and cartoon characters. A nurse checked his blood pressure. A pediatrician asked about school, home life, and his friendships. This seemed like a routine teen checkup, the kind that happens in thousands of pediatric practices across the U.S. every day — until the doctor popped his next question. “Any cravings for opioids at all?” asked pediatrician Safdar Medina. The patient shook his head...
