Modafinil is an effective cognitive enhancement nootropic
Students and overworked employees frequently experiment with substances like Adderall or Ritalin, but it hasn't been shown that most of these "cognitive enhancers" actually make anyone's brain work "better." But there's one substance that might actually improve attention, memory, learning, and other cognitive abilities — modafinil.

Looking for some articles about HC quality research.

By    10:13 // No comments

Can anyone point me toward some not-outdated review articles that would serve as a good introduction to healthcare quality measurement, like w/r/t ACA implementation and stuff? I need to buff up on the subject and it's somewhat out of my field of focus. I can obviously search Google Scholar (and I will, along with PubMed etc.) but sometimes actual humans are better at knowing what I need and I thought I'd ask the question here.

Thanks for putting up with some spammy content, all. I appreciate it.

The Day My Brother Took a Life and Changed Mine Forever
Before Moochie was a murderer, he was something of a savior inside our home. He was the son who had protected my mother from an abusive husband. The brother who shielded the rest of us from the bullies down the road and the kids who made fun of my stutter.

Is the absence of an ABN and a statement from a third party enough to pursue legal action?

By    02:38 // No comments

Very long story so trying to keep things as abridged as possible -- family member who passed away left a debt on the family due to a medical provider telling them they were Medicare approved, and turned out not to be.

No ABN was signed, and a member of the extended care facility has given a statement that they heard the medical company proclaim they were medicare approved.

At this point, can/should I take legal action? Would this be through Medicare or someone else? Medicare has declined multiple requests for reimbursement and appeals while family member was living.

Thanks for any advice.
