DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠Mechanic<p>2025 POLITICO Health Care Summit</p><p>Happy ‘Liberation Day’</p><p>"The Trump administration and its health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are promising transformative change in health care policy this year, including a major shift in emphasis from infectious diseases to chronic ones. At the same time, health agencies are in unprecedented upheaval and Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency initiative are examining health spending in a search for savings in HHS’ nearly $2 trillion budget.</p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/atulgawande" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atulgawande</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/ama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ama</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/hhs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hhs</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/politico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politico</span></a><br><a href="https://2025politicohealthcaresummit.splashthat.com/CMS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">2025politicohealthcaresummit.s</span><span class="invisible">plashthat.com/CMS</span></a></p>

Cory Doctorow<p>In his essential book, *<a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/BeingMortal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeingMortal</span></a>*, <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/AtulGawande" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtulGawande</span></a> describes how end-of-life care that centers a dying person's priorities can make death a dignified and even satisfying process for the patient and their loved ones:</p><p><a href="https://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">atulgawande.com/book/being-mor</span><span class="invisible">tal/</span></a></p><p>But that dignity comes from a patient-centered approach, not a profit-centered one. </p><p>19/</p>
22<p>I think a lot about this ever since I read <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/AtulGawande" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtulGawande</span></a>'s earthshattering essay on rehydration therapy (and lots of other stuff) in 2013 New Yorker:</p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/07/29/slow-ideas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newyorker.com/magazine/2013/07</span><span class="invisible">/29/slow-ideas</span></a></p><p>It talks about how in 1906 they identified that intravenous fluid reduces cholera mortality to 30% but IVs are expensive and hard to administer.</p><p>Then in the 1960s they discovered that *sugar* helps the gut absorb electrolytes, and that just *sipping* sugar-salt-water with quite specific concentrations reduces cholera mortality to &lt;4%!</p><p>You don't think it would have been nice to mention something about ideal sugar/salt-to-water ratios in your fucking religious text from thousands of years ago??? We had to wait for the death of belief in the supernatural and the rise of naturalistic explanations to discover this miraculous formula?</p><p>(Gawande's essay goes on to talk about how hard it was to get folks to use this rehydration therapy and what finally made it take off.)</p>
