Thinking today about all my #patients who tell me they can’t take even one day off work after they’re diagnosed with #cancer
Reflecting on how often the treatment plan has to accommodate the patient’s need to continue to work (in the U.S.)
And this was before the intentional #dismantling of the minimal services available to help
Worried about what’s to come
What happens when someone with a background in science studies and an interest in patient experience has to stay in hospital?
Some passing thoughts on illness as a boundary object following my recent stay in hospital with a broken leg.

#Florida Seeks Drug #Prescription Data With Names of #Patients and #Doctors
Federal #privacy law allows #pharmacy benefit managers to hand over limited data about individual patients in certain circumstances, but Florida’s demand for extensive information on patients and doctors could violate that law, according to experts.

Of course the #BC #government wants to fight #drug diversion. But this radical step backwards is awful. #Patients will lose jobs, won't be able to travel, won't be able to slowly reduce their dosage, and will be driven back to #dealers. Very, very #sad. Why the disregard for #healthcare #evidence ?

When #companies focus on #investors rather than #patients or #customers this is normally the outcome. I have seen this shift personally and from the inside of a once great company. Fortunately that was not in the #healthcare sector.
