Creating a Public Health System that can Better Respond to a Crisis
The public health system needs a lot of work, and there are so many different ways to improve it. I've mentioned improving practices in the past, but now I'd like to focus on how the public health system responds, or fails to respond, to crises, and how we can improve the system as a whole. Some of these ideas will be easy to implement, while others could take years, or even generations, but we need to start somewhere. While there are many areas of interest for reform, a large portion of this article focuses on improving efficiency.

Money behind the frontlines
Dear Ms. Maria Gavrilovic and Mr. Alex Ortiz: Thank you for producing "A rare look inside hospitals battling coronavirus - 60 Minutes" It's important to understand what's going on within hospital walls and the heroic efforts of the healthcare workers that are tirelessly working around the clock to meet the demands of an ever evolving health crisis. But I wanted to reach out because this was the first time I've been disappointed by 60 Minutes reporting from one side of the story. Especially seeing Northwell CEO, Michael Dowling, as the face of our battle, speaking on behalf of doctors, when he is on the NYS Medicaid Redesign Team to recommend $2.5 billion in hospital budget cuts, and healthcare dollars are supplying the CEO bonuses and incentives.

ORANGETHEORY vs. F45
I have a confession. I am addicted to High-Intensity Interval Training or HIIT. There is something about going hard for a certain amount of time, with only less time to recover. It makes my body feel incredible, and even when I am done working out, my body still burns calories.

Virtual Consultations in Healthcare (UK)
A few years ago, when I was a university student in Southampton from Newcastle Upon Tyne, I was awaiting results from a biopsy I had a month before. I was given a follow up appointment date, which was to discuss the results from the procedure. This wasn't my first biopsy and I had been with the same urologist/consultant for two years; I believe we had managed to build a good rapport. Unfortunately, I had to travel home (Newcastle) tqo days before my appointment. This meant I could not attend the follow up appointment as planned. If you think getting a GP appointment is hard, getting an appointment with the urologist (at the time) was even harder! I called the urologist's secretary and asked if the face to face appointment could be changed to a telephone appointment. She wasn't sure if this was possible so I left the message with her, to hear back later that day. I got a call from the urologist (on the same day); he too informed me that he wasn't sure if it was 'allowed' to do the review over the phone and he would get back to me after confirming this. The next day, he called me and to my delight, whoever he had to confirm with had agreed to a telephone appointment.
