how to even medicated. i think that he went never ended up in a psychiatric unit may have never had an episode. never it would have never asked only added to an anxiety attack like the ones he used to get. and i think that he would have never run into those officers karmas long it was 18 when her father died 2 years later she settled a lawsuit would not care for wrongful death may. as part of the terms of the settlement kerman agreed to a competency ality clause i know. this is a difficult talking to us why was it important for you to do so. after my dad died and after we buried him and. during the last on the challenge that that wife. was very present finding that. i needed to do something. i know that the lawsuit itself maybe didn't have quite the impact that my family want and by everything that i do from here on. this is the 1st time she's spoken publicly about the confidentiality agreement you chose to set up. yes it was be wanted to and it may have dragged on for i saw every every single tactic in the

only for medical reasons. i hope you don't have grandchildren, if once they know it will be legalize, they will try it because it is legal and i won't get in trouble for it. guest: as a matter of fact, i do have a grandchild, i should have brought a picture, i suppose. he is eight months. my concern for my grandchild is not that he will use marijuana, because i believe based on most people go on to have productive lives. my concern is that he will have his life ruined because one indiscretion, or an attempt to satisfy curiosity. that wheno point out we talk about children, no one on capitol hill at any level is suggesting that children even as young as 18, that is not a child, but we are talking 21, should have access to this. i will also point out that the international drug caucus in the senate had a hearing and they talked about drunk driving, pregnant women using marijuana, and the children. we agree on all of those points. congress ist the only talking about that part of the spectrum is good news. how do

the medication is becoming extremely expensive. traditionally and historically medication has been funded largely by donors but we're finding that donors themselves not through lack of will but because of pressures on their mostly local donors they are unable to support that doctors have been striking for nearly 2 months of a poor pay and work conditions it's another sign the public health sector is in trouble after numerous negotiations broke down the government issued this ultimatum . coming to work will be disciplined. so the 1st thing we're both most coming to work there will not be paid and some here blame the collapse of the public health care system on corruption and the state's failure to prioritize government officials they wish to impose sanctions are the reason for the crisis not them but it's patients who end up suffering and as a bubble economy worsens there is no sign that issue ation will improve soon how tasa had forgotten the cost joining us now from oxford is andrew follow he's a senior research fellow at oxford m

these community pharmacies deliver the medications to the patients' homes.pharmacies because they can no longer afford to stay open or stop providing services, we will lose our fight to keep patients on their medications. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you, supervisor ronen, for bringing this important issue forward. i am the vice president for the center of advocacy for the california pharmacists' association. the drastic reduction in the medical reimbursement rate for pharmacists have been devastating. they have already resulted in numerous closures of community pharmacies all over california. the patients who need these medications the most are those suffering with h.i.v., aids, behavioral health issues, et cetera, just to name a few. as the former speaker stated, community pharmacies don't just stand behind the counters, we know that these are the individuals going out to the homeless camps in the county and providing the medication to the individuals. we know we have a mental health crisis in the state of california, and without these phar

medications. patients, a part of this investigation, that received medications that weren't prescribed to them, as a way of chemical restraint. we really needed to tighten up our medication oversight, medication administration audits, diversion prevention committees, that you'll see in the plan of correction, really getting laguna honda to the best place regarding medication administration. >> chairman: can you elaborate when you say you're tightening up the administration or oversight on this? it is one thing to just say it -- >> yeah -- no. thank you for that. a number of very tangible things. we've increased the amount of medication past audits that we're doing with frontline staff. dwriewl havyou'll have a managea charge nurse that will be there during med pass times, and they're observing, are they pulling one medication out at a time? are they doing all of the steps that they're supposed to be doing with medication administration? a couple of other things: the management of controlled substa

so, the seasoned medics were great. just like today in the hospital with the residents and interns, how much they rely on the seasoned nurses to help them out. so, we got the guys here. we got them assessed. we stabilize them and then i call them on my cell phone over here. this is an e-8 phone. two d-cell batteries are attached in here. it has a generator thing that i can twist on here. this generates a charge. this can go to the phone on the opposite end. and that will ring it and then i'll toggle to talk and i'll untoggle to listen. then i'll call for transportation. now, say i've got somebody with a really bad chest wound that needs surgery like two hours ago. you know, i'll call them up and i'll say, we need somebody here now. we need to get them into surgery. you better get a chest cutter because he ain't got much longer. so, we can get transportation here to get them in from here they would go to what's called a collecting station. and at the collecting station what they would do, they would reassess the patient

you have to consider the medical utility and the potential harm of a substance. and those factors are weighed to be able to craft a policy that would allow or not allow medicinal use for the substance -- the ability to prescribe and in what quantities. and it really sets up a hard and firm regulatory framework for how to think about the medical community being able to access and the scientific community being able to access these substances for knowledge production around its medical utility. this is also important in terms of the u.s. because, around all party nations, it really governs how governments are able to control the cultivation of these substances, particularly marijuana, for testing to gain a greater knowledge base about the impact and affects that this has on a person's well-being and personal health. the single convention is expanded through the 1971 convention on psychotropic substances. adds a whole range of substances to the list. also important, we move away from not just the use of narcotics but also scientific language that is being developed

over their medical data voluntarily meanwhile facebook has a vivid lee denied the latest allegations made by the n.s.a. international a person's choice to use facebook services and the way we collect receiver use data all clearly disclosed in acknowledged by users cannot meaningfully be likened to the involuntary enough unlawful government surveillance so is there a way for users to keep their data safe well the reports as there is but it will take out a radical overhaul of the way big tax operates it calls for the alliance data protection loss to make the system more humane but is there a place in real life for an internet that has human rights at its core both companies have been challenged on numerous different occasions about their behavior people could look at a number of separate incidents or you could see it as a larger i think call issue poly to do with their attitude towards users and towards dates but also because their business models have been built around the fact that they need to collect that data to offer to advertisers and in order basically to power their business b

it's an immense challenge ethically, legally, even medically. and you mentioned things about the relationship or the client's and patient's perception of who's trying to help them. that relationship that we establish is of paramount concern. now to get back to your question, it's something that we undertake as a last resort, and we -- we rely on the collaboration and ability to involuntarily detain folks when it's done in conjunction with law enforcement behavioral health, and there can be agreement about that. one thing i do want to stress is a 5150, 72-hour involuntary detention is a means, but too often, we don't think what has to happen after that. 72 hours is not a lot of time to change a life for someone. unless we have the back end figured out, i think we should not be extremely, you know, too eager to involuntarily detain people unless we understand what the overall game plan is. so to answer your question, it is something that we do rely on in very -- in situations of last resort, and we do it in conjunction with behavioral health partn

medical science as a whole. they don't conceive of us as having an inherent human dignity and that our sexuality is something of value. it has not been a question of scientific inquiry the pill is the most researched drug on the earth. further response. there has been very little. it is because they actually designed those studies with 20 questions about how it would be affecting their sexual response. one of the responses to this leap article. is like hang on. we had studies showing there is no effect on sexuality after hysterectomy. it only follows women one or two years. guess we have these studies. what was the initial question and what are people looking at. i plan to ask you 20 more questions but i also want these fine people who came out tonight i know you have noticed the cameras. your voice will mostly be on the video but your face may not. who would like to ask a question. we saved her life because we did the procedure. that's how we used to talk about c-sections in that same way. that experience is me

medical debt is a nonprofit that forgives medical debt based on donations it finds the neediest individualsnd buys their bundled debt at a discount in 2019, almost 100 of those donations have been faith based relieving around a total of $227 million worth of medical debt. this past easter, donnell white were looking for a way to back to the community. >> we raised over $18,000 in order for us to purchase $2.9 million in past-due medical debt >> recipients are anonymous, but today kyra wanted to make herself known. >> you guys stepped in, and i want to say thank you. i don't want to cry, but -- i can pay my car note, my car insurance, my bills, my rent, i can take care of my son >> we care about those who are being oppressed. and medical debt is oppression >> reporter: the future looks bright for kyra last year she received a new kidney and pancreas she no longer has diabetes she credits her son and her family for inspiring her to keep going. >> amen. >> i've ve that i would even meet the pastor or the church this is a big miracle because not a lo especially to me >> that's "nbc nightly news

we have to figure out a way to allow access on the medical front. we have to figure out a way to be able to import these substances and have control over them as they are entering the nation. and regulate the access. another important component of this is it as establishes the federal control board. two police narcotics. we will see this organization start to transform into the present to be able to better navigate the drug lobby and also punish possession of the substances. particular, with policing nonmedical consumption as well as engaging in quality control of the narcotics for medicinal use. pure foodack in the and drugs act. if you are going to allow access to a substance, it has to be something that is not necessarily harmful to a consumer ingesting the substance. the control board was tasked with trying to figure out a way to do both. we are going to limit .onmedicinal use if you are going to need these products, we need to figure out a way to best ensure the safety of those products. that entity morphed into, in 1930, the federal bureau of

so medical research shows that are adapting treatment diagnosis and medication to the different needs of men and women there's a logical step. one that will help take therapies to the next level. in the olden days it was all about plugging a hammering into nailing things but nowadays it's become very quiet because we just glue. tended words even for teeth. for either known or lost 2 of her teeth to gum disease at the age of just $35.00 initially she suffered from bleeding gums there enjoying pregnancy her teeth grew loose and eventually fell out. the dentist try to save the teeth but the attempts were unsuccessful the river was told she'd need a denture or implants but then she heard about a decent dentistry. it's a technique that's been used increasingly to replaced missing in sizes the real side of the neighboring tooth is filed slightly to accommodate the replacement tooth which has a kind of wing on it the dentist this so called a decent bridge to the neighboring tooth and that roe is again complete. the implants always require an operation often bone grafting but we generally don

can you tell me -- or you are the medical overseer. can you tell many how many abortions the facility in missouri performs each week? >> i can tell you i believe it is publicly available. i can give you a rest estimate -- rough estimate how many abortions we perform a year. roughly around 3000. >> how do you dispose of 3000 fetuses? >> missouri has a state law that requires we send the remains to pathology. >> what is the latest term abortion you have performed? gestation period in weeks? >> my practice includes the provision of abortion up until the point of viability. we've already had a discussion about viability. >> give me the number in weeks. >> i do not know. >> you do not remember the number of weeks? >> that is correct. >> what about size of the unborn baby? do you know the largest baby you have aborted? >> i am not sure how i would even quantify that? >> if i use the word fetus -- you have no idea the age or gestation period of the fetus you are aborting? >> my practice includes abortion care through the point of viability. a

what are you hearing, jeremy, about this routine medical exam? reporter: that's right, fredricka. a person similar with the matter is telling me the president's visit yesterday to walter reed medical center did not follow the typical protocol for a routine medical visit by the president of the united states. typically, i'm told there would be a general notice sent out to the medical staff at walter reed informing them of a vip visit, letting them know there would be certain closures for a vip like the president of the united states. that did not happen, according to my source. that doesn't mean necessarily that there were no doctors who were notified ahead of time, but clearly what the source is telling me is it was not a routine medical visit based on the protocol that was followed. so that remains to be seen. the white house is responding in a statement to me this morning saying this is from the white house press secretary, stephanie grisham. she says, we're not going to get into security and movement protocols when it comes to the president, b

>> no, ma'am. >> and there was no medical deferred action. you sort of implied in your comment that this was just about people seeking medical concerns. >> sick children. >> they are among those. we also get adhd filings and we get filings for people getting older, and that is their basis for -- >> so there was no directive policyver to reverse the to case-by-case, and we did not understand the policy to be anything to be case-by-case before, so you are telling us it has always been case-by-case? that is your testimony? >> yes. >> obviously, you have to look at every case, but we are looking at the category of sick children. i am asking you because of a decision that directly conflicts with the recommendation your agency reportedly prepared for the acting secretary. just ten days prior to the reversal -- and i am referring to a memo that was apparently prepared by your policy and strategy chief -- for a september 9 meeting with weretary mclean and you selected to lead that meeting. are you familiar with that memo? >> i do not have it memorize

in june, medical services. this should be an easy decision. nothing relevant has changed in the last three years except for the composition of the supreme court. but the law at issue in june also does nothing to make abortion an already extremely safe procedure safer. instead, such laws are intended to close clinics and they have done just that. the resulting shortage of abortion providers has led to longer waiting times for appointments, increased travel to clinics which result in increased costs, long distance travel, hotel stays in different cities, additional child care expenses, more time off work when people don't have it and ultimately, delays in getting the care that they are seeking. these costs compound the other restrictions that are already in place including restrictions on insurance coverage of abortion. all intended to make abortion unaffordable and therefore, inaccessible. what these politicians are doing is not representative of the will of the people. the public doesn't want the right to abortion overturned. in fact, in the w

>> reporter: a medical fraud investigator, he says in his decades of experience, the medical board protectsts own at the expense of patients. he showed a list he has compiled of doctors with felony convictions, and many ine very these sexual predators, they get charged and convicted by federal authorities, and it would take two or three years before the medical board would file an accusation. >> reporter: in a statement, a spokesperson for the medical board said, the investigations it conducts are confidential by law, it is only after the attorney general files the accusation that the details of the complaint are made available to the public. >> what you think of the fact that it took the medical board until he got indicted for child pornography to do anything? >> they should be blamed, it could've avoided a lot of victims, it is not a secret, everybody knows about the monster. >> reporter: in 2018, the california medical board received more than 11,000 complaints against doctors, an all-time record. experts believe that the me too movement may have empowered people to speak out who previou

the medication is important. the emergency services are important but emergency rooms are not good places for people needing care. so the current reimbursement structure work against the stabilization center. the full cost is usually covered. what can we do to encourage that type of care that a person that is distressed needs. and allow for the funding of programs such as stabilization centers and communities. >> i will highlight giving states the flexibility to find these types of programs such as we had done through the 1115 waivers but this is a good one to kick to mr. mendel, you can speak from personal experience about the struggle of bringing you son in over and over and not having a place for him to go that will help him. >> absolutely. and it comes back to quality measures and measure in and they were the most effective methods to treat people and having a transparent set of quality measures where the information is published on a regular basis. we talked about consumer information where they can learn wh

oxycontin users 98 percent has also used other addictive pain relievers for non medical purposes and more than a 4th had used heroin well what they don't mention is that that study was actually carried out by employees and consultants of purdue pharma now sally's to tell says she has no idea that her institute was funded by purdue the new york times and the american enterprise institute have denied any wrongdoing but sallies to tell didn't just defend the profits of purdue in the new york times she also did it elsewhere she was quite a media star when it came to propane killer opining. oxycontin does not cause addiction it's abusers are already addicts. the real public health damage here comes from the peach campaign conducted by zealous prosecutors and public interest advocates to demonize the drug itself. this is tragic because oxycontin has been a godsend for millions of patients. only a minority of people who are prescribe opiates for pain become addicted to them and those who do become addicted and who die from painkillers over dues is done to obtain these medications from sourc

one is that the one medical. so when you just walk into one medical, because they are everywhere, the front windows now say they are associated with dignity and the healthcare system. there is one in west portal that i walked by. so our potential patients given a sheet that alerts them upfront what the fee schedule will be and that they are, maybe at risk for paying those fees depending upon their health plans? i don't know how this works. someone is nodding yes. so they are given one they walk in the door. >> it is my understanding, at least from their website, that you can join and pay a fee on the website. what is not clear is -- we have done some secret shopping and tried to understand where the confusion might be. i think one medical in their general marketing practices do advertise a membership fee and they state it is for their extra attention and concierge type services and receiving appointments. what our plan is, particular with the ma p.d. is prohibitive if you are under contract. i don't know how ever

i spent my time in medical institutions and doing my medical training and it's always one of the real regrets that i've had with this amazing country that we have that i wasn't able to get back. later on in my career i was the ceo of the hospital and i had the opportunity to get a call from the white house. this was right at the time in 2014 when it was a very public crisis in the va where there were allegations that the veterans were dying waiting for care. i remember sitting there as a citizen saying i feel terrible about this. if anybody deserves the best care possible with our veterans. i wish there was something i could do to help and sometimes it happens in strange ways. i got a call from the white house saying would you consider coming to help with the va health care system because we are looking for who understands how health care works from the private sector. i did what everybody tends to do whenever a choice to make. i made a list of pros and cons. the con side was much longer but on the pro-side it was how can i say no? this was my duty as an american. i didn't think much

they have admitted more daca students for their medical school than any other medical school in the unitedtes. they are amazing students i have met them. in many if not all of them have promised to come back to my state of illinois having had this chance to go to medical school in chicago can save and underserved areas after they become practicing doctors. loyola does give many special treatment in the selection process, they are not eligible for any federal financial assistance. i just want to thank dethem and say to the president of the united states, before you put out a tweet calling cesar and monta longo and people like him a hardened criminal, take a minute and meet these young people. while you're at it, meet this young lady too. she was just in my office, her name is fernanda herrera pharaoh, when she was two years old her family brought her from neck to go to the united states. when she was seven years old her family was forced to leave huntersville alabama when her father lost his job due to his immigration status.the family settled in destin alabama where fernanda attended a pri
