Thanks to all the volunteers with @electioncheatsheet.org ! You did something no one has done before and you made decisions to build consensus among a decentralize group. None of this was easy and so many people can’t wait to see what you’re able to build to support ranked choice voting.

Remember The “Prescription Opioid Crisis?”
THIS IS THE RESULT•
The DEA ARRESTED Drs for “Overprescribing”
So now •SPECIALIST ARE AFRAID TO PRESCRIBE CII-Opiate PainMeds•
NOT EVEN Pain Management Drs Help INTRACTABLE Pain.
Only costly Steroid Injections.
•If a Head CT is Normal, PainMeds WILL HELP•

My neurologist told me to go to the ER if my migraine pain is unbearable.
The ER basically said don't come back unless you have stroke symptoms.
So even if my pain is a 9/10 and they could help me recover on the same day, I'm in pain for multiple days and risking my job if I don't work through it.

Big Pharma created this crisis by driving up opioid volume for profit. Retail pharmacies aren't their partners we're the barrier. We built real time PDMP checks, strict fill limits, and nationwide OTC Narcan access to stop overprescribing and protect communities.

right, no matter what it is, overprescribing is weird. like my doctors did what 15 other doctors couldn’t, they’re brilliant, yet they’re irresponsible in this one way, it’s bizarre

Old skills are also very overprescribing and work bad with newer models. Also skills written by new models are hilariously bad. You have to remind them "Hey you are writing for YOURSELF, reflect on it, you would have hated this micromanagement" - and only then they are like Ohh!! You're right!

Medical Startup Even Raises $50M, Valuation Triples in 18 Months - AIテクノロジーまとめ
Indian health startup Even has raised $50 million in a funding round led by Khosla Ventures, tripling its valuation to $300 million in 18 months. To combat India's prevalent issue of overprescribing and unnecessary medical procedures, Even is building and operating its own hospitals in Bengaluru. The company pays doctors fixed salaries rather than performance-based incentives for extra tests and tracks patient recovery using a medical score system. Despite operating losses and previous layoffs, Even continues to invest in expansion and patient-centric care.

The problem here is that we have an adversarial system with doctors overprescribing and insurance companies underaccepting claims. But the fundamental problem is scarcity of care and we're nibbling at the edges.

I love how the BBC presenter kept trying to interrupt Monbiot as he's making entirely obvious points here. You get a distinct sense that they don't want anything that isn't "doctors are overprescribing ADHD" to be heard.
I talked this week about the mental health crisis afflicting young people, in particular the isolation and loneliness caused by the neoliberal smashing of society. Everyone needs community. Everyone needs belonging. We cannot survive without them.
