Cuando los hospitales de todo el país luchan contra la nueva ola de la pandemia, no son camas ni ventiladores lo que escasean. Son las personas que cuidan de los enfermos.

Pero existe mano de obra altamente calificada de médicos, enfermeras y otros trabajadores de salud, con formación en el extranjero, que no se aprovecha debido a las dificultades para la obtención de licencias y credenciales.

Según el Migrant Policy Institute de Washington D.C., unos 165,000 inmigrantes formados en el extranjero, que ya están en los Estados Unidos, tienen títulos en campos relacionados con la salud, pero están desempleados o subempleados en medio de la crisis.

Muchos de estos trabajadores cuentan con una enorme experiencia en epidemias, como el SARS, el Ébola o el VIH, en otros países, pero deben permanecer al margen de la pandemia de covid.

Los grupos antivacunas están explotando el sufrimiento y la muerte de las personas que se enferman después de recibir la vacuna contra covid, lo que amenaza con socavar la campaña de vacunación más grande en la historia de los Estados Unidos.

En algunos casos, están inventando historias de muertes que nunca ocurrieron.

“Esto es exactamente lo que hacen los grupos antivacunas”, dijo el doctor Peter Hotez, especialista en enfermedades infecciosas y autor de “Preventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-Science”.

Los grupos antivacunas han afirmado falsamente durante décadas que las vacunas infantiles causan autismo, tejiendo fantásticas teorías de conspiración que involucran al gobierno, las grandes empresas y los medios de comunicación.

Ahora, los mismos grupos culpan a las vacunas de problemas médicos que estos pacientes ya tienen, incluso cuando está claro que la edad o las condiciones de salud subyacentes son las responsables, … Read the rest

There Are Three Kinds of Primary Care, Not to Be Confused With Each Other

No Comments
| Global Health, Health And Fitness, Health News, Healthcare, Healthcare Insurance, Healthcare Partner, Human Health, Men's Health, Mental Health, News, Women's Health

By HANS DUVEFELT

Primary care doctors, the way things are organized in this country, perform three kinds of services. If we don’t recognize very clearly just how fundamentally different they are, we risk becoming overwhelmed, burned out, inefficient and ineffective. And, if we think about it, should we really be the ones doing all three?

SICK CARE

Historically, people called the doctor when they were sick. That service has, at least in this country, become more or less viewed as a nuisance in primary care offices. We keep a few slots open for sick people, in part because the Patient Centered Medical Home recognition process requires us to. But our clinics may worry that those slots go unfilled and lead to lost revenue.

Instead, sick people scatter toward emergency rooms with crowding, high overhead and liability driven testing excesses or to freestanding walk-in clinics that only sometimes are integrated with … Read the rest

After a Decade of Lobbying, ALS Patients Gain Faster Access to Disability Payments

Anita Baron first noticed something was wrong in August 2018, when she began to drool. Her dentist chalked it up to a problem with her jaw. Then her speech became slurred. She managed to keep her company, which offers financing to small businesses, going, but work became increasingly difficult as her speech worsened. Finally, nine months, four neurologists and countless tests later, Baron, now 66, got a diagnosis: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease after the New York Yankees first baseman who died of it in 1941, destroys motor neurons, causing people to lose control of their limbs, their speech and, ultimately, their ability to breathe. It’s usually fatal in two to five years.

People with ALS often must quit their jobs and sometimes their spouses do, too, to provide care, leaving families in financial distress. A decade-long campaign by advocates highlighting this predicament notched a … Read the rest

Con la llegada del invierno y el brote de coronavirus en pleno apogeo en el país, la industria de los restaurantes, que espera pérdidas de $235 mil millones en 2020, se aferra a las opciones al aire libre incluso durante los gélidos meses de invierno.

Carpas, toldos, invernaderos, hasta iglús y todo tipo de estructuras parcialmente abiertas han aparecido en restaurantes de todo el país.

Los propietarios recurren a estas opciones como un salvavidas para ayudar a llenar algunas mesas, y tener al menos la posibilidad de ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica más segura.

“Estamos tratando de hacer todo lo posible para ampliar la temporada de comidas al aire libre durante el mayor tiempo posible”, dijo Mike Whatley, de la Asociación Nacional de Restaurantes.

Tiempos nefastos han obligado a la industria a encontrar formas de sobrevivir. Whatley dijo que más de 100,000 restaurantes están “completamente cerrados”.

De puerta en puerta para crear confianza en las vacunas contra covid en la Pequeña Habana

La Pequeña Habana es un barrio de Miami que, hasta la pandemia, era conocido por su activa vida en las calles, a lo largo de la Calle Ocho, en donde hay locales de música en vivo, ventanitas que sirven café cubano y un parque histórico donde los hombres se reúnen a jugar dominó.

Pero durante la pandemia, un grupo llamado Healthy Little Havana se está concentrando en esta área con una tarea muy específica: persuadir a los residentes para que se hagan una prueba de coronavirus.

La organización sin fines de lucro tiene mucha experiencia en divulgación. Ayudó con el censo de 2020 y, a causa de la pandemia, hizo la mayor parte de ese trabajo por teléfono. Pero Líderes comunitarios dicen que este nuevo desafío necesita un enfoque cara a cara.

Los trabajadores del grupo han salido casi a diario por las tranquilas calles residenciales, para persuadir a la … Read the rest

Over a month into a massive vaccination program, most older Americans report they don’t know where or when they can get inoculated for covid-19, according to a poll released Friday.

Nearly 6 in 10 people 65 and older who have not yet gotten a shot said they don’t have enough information about how to get vaccinated, according to the KFF survey. (KHN is an editorially independent program of KFF.)

Older Americans are not the only ones in the dark about  the inoculation process. About 55% of essential workers —designated by public health officials as being near the front of the line for vaccinations — also don’t know when they can get the shots, the survey found. Surprisingly, 21% of health workers said they are unsure about when they will get vaccinated.
