How Managerialists Turned Housestaff Training into a Zero-Sum Game: the Continuing Saga of the FIRST and iCompare Studies

A ongoing controversy about two controlled trials (FIRST and iCompare) meant to test the bizarre hypothesis that sleep depriving medical housestaff (that is, physicians in training) would improve health care provided new evidence that academic medicine has been captured by managerialists . Background: the Controversy about the FIRST and iCompare Housestaff Sleep Deprivation Trials In early December, 2015 we posted about two clinical trials, FIRST and iCompare, designed to test the hypothesis that increasing housestaff sleep deprivation would improve care continuity, and thus somehow improve housestaff their performance and their patients' outcomes.

DaVita Settles Another Lawsuit Amidst Accusations of "Managing Witnesses to Provide False Testimony," After Justice Department Lost Interest in Participating

Tips for healthy eating

1. Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. 2. Enjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. 3. Maintain a healthy weight – not too fat, not too thin. The weight that’s right for you depends on your sex, height, age and heredity. 4. Eat moderate portions. (The recommended cooked meat portion is 3 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.) 5. Eat regular meals. Skipping can lead to out-of-control hunger, and overeating. 6. Reduce, but don’t necessarily eliminate certain foods. The key is moderation. 7. Know your diet pitfalls. To improve your eating habits you need to know what’s wrong with them. 8. Make changes gradually. Remedy excesses or deficiencies in your diet with modest changes that can add up to positive, lifelong eating habits.
