another example is helping patients take their medication. medication adherence. less than half the prescriptions we write get filled and taken as the prescription says and many of these are important, patients missing out on the full benefit. so we harang a patient. you have to take the medication, you'll be blind in a wheelchair, stroke, heart attack. that opportunity work very well. -- that doesn't work very well but dent know any other way. a wonderful study, video tape editors and patients speaking and then interviewed them belt afterwards and it was fascinating that the -- the information on what the patients couldn't take the medication were there but only in the post visit interview and the patient spoke about the cost of medication, caused sexual dysfunction or made them feel sick or embarrassed to use it in public or cut them in half to make them last. all these things were the real reason they cooperate take medication but never came up in doctor-patient visit but a the doctors never asked. so, lesson from. that. in the middle of of in hang rang of -- h

he is getting hefty doses of pain medication, and night after night, expensive medical evaluations to missed explanations for his pain. nothing seemed to help and it was agitating of the patients not to mention driving the nursing staff to distraction. the head nurse paged me. luckily i trudged back to the patient's room. this is my fourth visit to the howler that night. we are both pretty exasperated, he was sullen and cranky. i was exhausted and at my wits end. and deflating my last three functioning neurons. and what i can come up with, pull out of ireland stealing, i put the syringe in another pocket, and to the patient's bedside, i drew up one cc of plain saline. you know about tylenol. continuing to twist in his bed sheets. i leaned forward the syringe close to the patient's space. moving the cover off of the needle, let me pause for dramatic effect, this is number 5. a patient's interested look, he was the pajamas and allows me to inject saline. in a srp box to the bedside, the patient and i waited together, ticking apparently by. a mutually agreeable time, the patient put his

medical center. it is precisely these tools that had been put into place to help protect patients and health care organizations from drug diversions and harm. however, v.a. does not seem to be taking them seriously as it should. based on the oversight reports and numerous diversion incidents, we will discuss today, i'm concerned that v.a.'s controlled substance oversight program is not working and that staff who fail to follow proper procedures are not being held accountable for violations. in case after case, what we see are examples of drugs being diverted for personal use or personal gain, yet there does not seem to be much progress made by the v.a. to correct the glaring problems that allow it to happen. by what is more concerning is that the programs to help deter diversion are not being implemented consistently within the v.a. health system. we are in the midst of an opioid epidemic and it's time for the v.a. to start making effective changes. to avoid putting veterans and the employees who ser

they did not create an overarching medical system until the end of 1862, so there was a gap of medical care in there. and that created this opportunity for incredibly well-organized, really ambitious women to step in and create and found and establish their own hospitals. and so early in the war these women actually were running hospitals, right? and these were volunteer efforts. and that was because the confederacy hadn't really organized a medical system at that point to. after september of 1862 when the confederacy finally creates a medical system, they -- because these early female-run hospitals had posted such low mortality rates, much lower than general hospitals, there was a commission of legislators that went out is and studied this, and these female-run hospitals had mortality rates of about 5% whereas general hospitals had a mortality rate of about 10 percent. and they realized women were doing something positive for medical can care. so they created a new position, and they created matron positions for women. now, those matron positions were very gendered in that women were

a more recent report on human resources issues at the atlanta va medical center. we substantiated an allegation that there was no drug testing employees for at least six months and 24 teen and 2015. despite the lack of drug testing for six months, we've bought no indications that either the local or national level was aware of collapse. because no drug testing occurred, the atlanta va medical center lack insurance and employee subject to drug testing during this period remains suitable for employment. we made two recommendations focused on the drug-free work is program and va reported they action on recommendations. ba also requires managers at facilities ensure a controlled substance inspection program is implemented and maintained. the oig has reviewed the controls of some sister in our program reviews. we rolled up the results of our work in june 2014 ngl references network in a recent report. the oig also has a vigorous investigative program. we focus on three categories. first, diversion of controlled and not controlled substances by vha employees fit the div

so these are the medications that are available and another important issue to discuss is a medicationthat can rapidly reverse the opioid overdose and has been abused and medical personnel in er settings for a long time and now there's a public health movemenpublic-hear people to have access to the locks on so anybody that is at risinterested in overdose, physicians are encouraged to prescribe it so that a family member or loved one or friend could use it in the case of a suspected overdose because the benefits upgrade the . outweigh the risks. >> i want to throw out one fact i found interesting. several years ago when we were really digging into the statistics again, what was really interesting for us was the population at the greatest risk of death and where the greatest risks were. it wasn't k. as you might imagine seeking a thrill, but it was people in their 40s and 50s. that is the hardest hit population in terms of mortality is from opioids so that gives you a little bit of a sense of what we are dealing with. one of the solutions people talked about lately particularly in the pr

we need these medications. if you have a surgery or have an injury for acute pain, it's highly effective. but the efficacy for chronic pain and long-term use in the management of chronic pain is now being questioned. nd the risks are very clear. now there are new guidelines shifting back to we need new approaches to manage pain and please consider nonopiod therapy and nonopiod medication and physical carpe and cognitive behavioral therapy to cope with pain so hopefully we'll see a return of more comprehensive pain clinics to manage these problems. >> i think a lot of it had to do with us. i thought when i was starting my book i was writing a book about drug traffickers and drug trafficking and really it became a book about america and who we become. particularly after the end of the cold war, 1990's and so on, we became a country that loved to -- that loved to kind of exalt the private sector, we became a country where people were applauded for making lots of money even though the way they made their money didn

there's no medical support, no clinical basis for that. the court uses what it called a depre depressive episode in 2005, which is six years after he took the examination in 1999. >> i thought the part alleged by you in your briefs was it a assumed things like policy, poor nutrition, poor performance in school were not attributable to intellectual functioning but due to his lack of a good home, essentially. why is that clinically wrong? >> because, your honor, so in terms of the causation requirement, which is i think what your honor is referring to. there are three main problems with how the court dealt with this. >> will you talk about the adaptive measure? >> why don't you deal with sotomayor's question first. >> thank you, your honor. it establishes the intellectual deficits caused it rather than any other cause, such as what your honor is talking about. it is well understood as a clinical matter that there is very high inference in intellectual disability of morbidity. that view of the inquiry is rather than some other cause is comple
