We make deposits to our memory bank through our deeds and interactions with others. In the journey of life, it is not the bank account that matters. It is the memory bank that represents one's life and its significance in terms of deposits. In the end, everyone gets a fair dividend paid by his or her memory bank. AD is the meanest bank robber in the history of time." - Quote from Ifay Chang contemplating autobiography in fear of AD According to Sweden's Karolinska Institute's estimate, the total world wide cost of Alzheimer Disease is $248B, more than the gross domestic product (GDP) of 198 countries in the world.

Healing Our Sicko Health Care System (by J.S. Hacker) starts from a scene in Michael Moore's film 'Sicko' then to say that either abolishing all medical insurance companies or creating a national medical care program for all are too evocative. Clinton's failure in healthcare reform was cited as not caused by the industry lobbyists and right-wing nuts but due to a powerful tide at their backs — the public ambivalence, divided interests, and budgetary barriers created by our crazy quilt of health coverage. Hacker suggests to require employers either to provide their workers with good private coverage or to enroll them, at a modest cost, in a new public program modeled after Medicare. Employees can still enroll in private plans and employers are still able to implement their cost-controlled and quality-enhanced plans without bearing the burden of uncompensated charity care for the uninsured and underinsured. The public plan will get more enrollments hence leverage to bring down cost and provide basic public medical care. MWSearch is agreeing with the strategy of adopting a modest and easily explained and workable medical and healthcare reform rather than stressing an idealistic but difficult-to-get-consensus solution. We feel that rather than relying on political candidates to come up with an unrealizable vision or an all political water-down plan to get elected, it is time to urge public-based organizations to develop easily explained and workable plans to present to the public then demand political candidates (presidential, congress and state legislative elections) to endorse the grass-roots supported proposals during their campaign and thereafter. let the professionals teach the public and the politicians then endorsed into action plans. |

Elizabeth Edwards and John Edwards Facing Difficult Decision under Tremendous Stress: MWSearch is sympathizing with the couple in dealing with their life challenge. To arrive at a difficult decision, one must resort to philosophy and faith. In the Western culture especially in the United States, people are 'taught' to be self-centered, me-first, family next, country second next and world last; and most religions are 'urged' not to give opinion on one's duty for the country in relation to other duties. Whereas in the Eastern culture especially traditional Chinese philosophy, far extended in Asia, people are 'taught' to think world affair is everyone's responsibility albeit difficult to fulfill and to place country above family and family above oneself through many historical stories. For example, sons leaving ill-health parents and going to war for the country for years, Son cut his thigh and cooked as food for sick and starving parent, Sha Yui, a public servant giving the task of curing the flooding of Yellow River, placed his responsibility to the government and public far above his own family; he had traveled passing his own home seven times over several years while trying to stop the floods but never entered even once to see his family. The Edwards must make a very difficult decision on their own. MWSearch would only offer the following comment to the public: Please respect the Edwards' decision and do not cast judgment based on the so called 'political correctness' uttered most by activists. In our observation, political correctness has often been incorrect even immoral in many issues viewed philosophically or religiously by the silent majority, There is no lack of controversial examples, global warming, abortion, gay marriage, Irag war, CEO pay, terminating life, stem research, etc etc. Recent articles: Elizabeth Edwards’ Qualms John Edwards live Can Cancer Close The Gravitas Gap? |

As the world's very first medical blog site, www.mwsearch.com, existed since 1995, we do understand the value of a medical site devoted to medical issues. We welcome Dr. Frist bringing his and his colleagues' perspectives on medical matters to the public in a direct and interactive manner. We urge our members to voice your political opinions on medical issues that concern you. |

New SAT Test and Medical Schools: Starting March 12, 2005, a new SAT test will be offered to high school students. The new test has three sections instead of two, hence the total score is 2400 versus 1600 previously. The changes are supposed to align the SAT to curriculum and instructional practices in high schools and colleges. The addition of a third measure, writing, will help colleges to make better admissions and will reinforce the importance of writing skills throughout a student's education and bolster their chances for academic success in college. Since most medical schools will accept this new SAT, perhaps we can expect more literal writing of medical records and better legible prescriptions from our future generation of doctors. The companies offering SAT tests preparation such as Kaplan (which also offers USMLE tests) will certainly stand to have a boon. (See OSMart: Learning: Kaplan) |

Mad Cow Disease: When Mad Cow Disease was discovered elsewhere: US has taken precautionary steps to protect the public. Now that we have discovered the Mad Cow disease in Washington State, are we acting rationally and fairly to protect the public? Are we influenced by the farm industry lobbying forces or even the Wall Street's voices over the stock market reactions? We suggest that don't read everything in print at its face value. Do some comparison and then take action if needed such as write to your congressman or the FDA. We list a few publications below, some controversial, for you to build up your knowledge on Mad Cow Disease. |

Know Your Treatment Code: Health insurance and clinics use procedure codes to determine insurance coverage and reimbursements. For instance, CDT4 code system is used for dental. You would do yourself a big favor to be familiar with these codes. Both dental professionals and patients need to know the codes so you can get the maximum reimbursement benefits from health insurance benefits. Take a look of Dr. Bunn's (dentist) web site where you get a good background information on dentistry and CDT4 codes. Also take a look at the UT Houston Dentistry procedure cost table which can serve as a reference. Of course not all procedures will be charged the same fee at different dental services, but the more you know the better for you, at least before you have a treatment. |

Does
Fat Tax Make Sense? Experts on obesity proposes we should tax
consumers on consuming fatty foods. Some disagree. Some say we
should tax TV-Watching instead since that is taking away
people's
exercises. One British headline on fat tax says: "Like
fat creeping up on a person's thighs, a tax on junk food and
soda would be little-noticed at first but have long-term
impact." Dose it make sense? |

Stories for Patients and Doctors: Amye Leong, an internationally-recognized motivational speaker, is president of Healthy Motivation, a health education and advocacy consulting firm. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 18 (along with Sjogren's syndrome and osteoporosis later) and wheelchair-bound within 8 years, Amye drew on her own personal advocacy skills and determination to rebuild her body and take control of her life. After 16 surgeries, including 12 joint replacements, she now travels the globe working with organizations and governments as spokesperson for the United Nations-endorsed Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010. She was honored at the White House by President G.W. Bush with the 2001 President's Service Award, the highest honor bestowed on an American for community service. The Arthritis Foundation named Amye Leong one of its America's Fifty Heroes and gave her its highest honor, the Harding Award. As a community hero, Ms Leong carried the Olympic torch for the 1996 Olympic Games. She was appointed advisor to the U.S. National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal & Skin Diseases and was chair of the U.S. Surgeon General's National Council on Self-Help and Public Health under C. Everett Koop. She developed coalitions and advocacy projects that, for example, resulted in Congressional proclamation of Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Week that today is an annual national Arthritis Foundation media and education event. Ms Leong, who founded the nation's first and largest network of young adults with arthritis, and developed the nation's first young adult arthritis education programs, continues to provide extensive peer counseling to those affected by arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, and their families. Her book, GET A GRIP: A Take Charge Approach to Living with Arthritis (Penguin Putnam, 2002), continues to receive wide acclaim.

There are a series of three USMLE exams that candidates must pass in order to qualify for medical licensure in the United States. Unlike previous USMLE exams, the computer versions are administered by appointment on a year-round basis. The Step 1 emphasizes basic science principles, specifically in anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology. Interdisciplinary areas such as genetics, immunology, and nutrition are also tested. The Step 1 examone-day computer exam contains 350 questions and spans 8 hours of testing (including an hour of break time). It is administered as 7 one-hour "blocks" of 50 questions each. The Step 2 exam contains of 400 questions and spans 9 hours of testing (including an hour of break time). It is administered as eight, 1-hour "blocks" of 50 questions each. The Step 3 exam is a 2-day computerized examination with approximately 500 multiple-choice items administered over the first day and a half of testing. These items deal with clinical situations typically encountered by a generalist physician. The exam concludes with a half-day consisting of approximately 9 open-ended computer-based case simulations (CCS). The Step 3 exam focuses primarily on patient management (45-55% of the questions). Other "physician tasks" tested include history and physical (8-12%), lab and diagnostic studies (8-12%), diagnosis (8-12%), prognosis (8-12%), and pathophysiology (8-12%). In addition to "physician tasks," each question also falls into one of three clinical encounter frames: initial workup (20-30%), continued care (55-65%), and emergency care (10-20%). For more information and taking the USMLE tests see the helpful Kaplan Test Prep in the MWSearch Online Shopping Mart under the learning category. College, Professional, K-12 and Language tests are also available. An interesting article: International Medical Graduates in the US, NEJM, Vol. 350, issue 24, pp.2435-37 |

Always Current Magic Shopping Card Linked to Online Shopping Mart OSmart Why does MWSearch offer one of the biggest online shopping mart? Of course, Specials and Discounts offered by Over 250 Stores are Great Values to MWSearch Members and Visitors. We also believe that online shopping can be a relaxing rather than a stressful activity especially when one is obligated to shop under time pressure. Feeling of time wasted or performing inefficient tasks are two main contributors to stress. We are tempted to suggest that 'online shopping' at one's leisure in a relaxed atmosphere can be quite therapeutic compared to 'physical shopping', although we have not found any research to compare online shopping versus mall or main street shopping in a systematic study. We welcome researchers to use MWSearch's Magic OSmart to conduct such a research. Magic OSmart does not advertise, it simply promotes e-commerce and global commerce. To facilitate such a research, the Magic OSmart has been produced on an interactive CD which can be used online and off Internet.
