  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Emily Baumgaertner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Gender-affirming care has become a key political issue for conservatives in the run-up to the presidential election. According to the analysis, about 48,000 patients underwent surgeries from 2016 through 2020. Breast and chest surgeries were the most common: There were about 27,187, or 56.6 percent of all gender-affirming surgeries. Background: Recent developments in gender-affirming care. Earlier this month, the American Academy of Pediatrics reaffirmed its guidelines regarding the gender-affirming treatment but also commissioned a fresh review of the research, after European health authorities found uncertain evidence for its effectiveness.

☆ Virtual Healthcare Has Green Benefits
  + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( Cecilia Butini | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +8 min
Virtual doctor’s appointments are helping healthcare companies reduce carbon emissions, though sustainability is mostly seen as a side benefit of telehealth rather than its main driver. The healthcare industry is responsible for about 5% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, of which the U.S. healthcare system alone accounts for a quarter. Similarly, in England, medicines, buildings, equipment and other supply-chain items generate most of the National Health Service’s emissions, according to official NHS figures. The company has designed an app for teleconsultations that is able to show patients the carbon emissions avoided through that consultation. In line with national data, the company said its Scope 3 emissions account for 75% of its total emissions.

☆ During the holidays, the ER does far more than what it is meant to do
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Dr. Owais Durrani | Dr. Owais Durrani Is An Emergency Medicine Physician In Houston | Tx. Dr. Durrani Has A Background In Political Science | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Patients’ ER experiences typically consist of long wait times, and that naturally leads to frustration and a frequent misunderstanding that nothing is being done or that they are being diagnosed improperly. The truth is our emergency departments have had to take on a lot more than that, serving as the safety net of the country’s entire health care system. You’ve heard this over and over — our health care system is broken. We have lost valuable physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and other vital members of the health care system. We have a very different health care system and training of physicians than those countries.
