Melinda Gates Talks Birth Control and Contraception–Giving Women the Option To Control When They Want to Have Children–TED Video
Newswise — The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has received $28 million in grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to continue and expand the Advance Family Planning advocacy initiative within the Bloomberg School’s Bill & Melinda Gates Institute on Population and Reproductive Health.
Advance Family Planning aims to increase resources and political commitment for quality family planning programs, as part of the July 2012 London Summit on Family Planning (now known as FP2020). The vision of the summit was to enable more women and girls in some of the world’s poorest countries to use contraceptive information, services and supplies, without coercion or discrimination, by 2020.

So what does the machine do? We all wonder when surgery takes place with removing cancer, did they get it all? The devices gives the surgeons the information they need to find out during surgery. The probe uses software that detects to see if any more tissue needs to be cut away.

and several doctors looked around the sites, dead doctors was one of the first issues we found. There’s nothing wrong with keeping a listing as those are helpful but the over all grading systems don’t offer much anymore as everyone who does ratings has their own set of parameters they use to judge and give that report card grade. Now according to this report fewer patients are rating doctors too so more evidence that these sites as far as value have dropped? Every time I go to one of them I find errors with only a couple searches and the sites blame the state boards for the data but in my opinion, some simple web searches will help all of them update their information. You can read below where I said six months ago that these sites are getting dated. 
not available at smaller hospitals so what’ up with that. I’m back to my same old rant again about quality of data and the rise of “flawed data” in some areas of healthcare. Healthgrades is now owned by a marketing company so what does that mean? Better marketing or better information, and I think it’s more like the first. 
This is a runaway train here with corporate USA getting free labor to fix all their mistakes as there’s a captive audience here who is stuck as they can’t get whatever they need, be it a car, house or whatever until on their own dime, they fix the flawed data that makes billions in profits for corporate USA, one of my Attack of the Killer Algorithm posts. Nobody minds the shop government wise and there’s very little risk and these profit makers found the ultimate free labor to fix their data, doctors and consumers sadly. I only got in on this a few years ago when I found my former doctor who had been dead for 8 years still listed as seeing new patients and the AMA and I had a nice chat about it.

more of these types of charges are appearing on medical bills, especially ones set up for outpatient services. Sometimes insurers do not pay the fees and thus some patients begin looking for doctors who do not have this charge. Facility fees are amounting up to a billion dollars a year that Medicare pays, so you wonder what is accomplished here as practices can charge more that are owned by hospitals too so does Medicare get the double whammy when they are trying to save money?
