My premise is that physician interactions with marketing representatives result in inevitable and irreconcilable conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our patients in medicine are the ultimate losers from such interactions.

An Overview Of Public Health In The New Millenium: Individual Liberty Vs. Public Safety, Dorothy Puzio
An Overview Of Public Health In The New Millenium: Individual Liberty Vs. Public Safety, Dorothy Puzio
Journal of Law and Health
This article explores the tensions between creating an effective public health system that would be able to respond to and protect against any public health threat, and protecting individuals against unnecessary intrusions on their civil liberties. It then considers approaches to this issue that might best strike a balance in a democratic society. While many Americans may recognize and even accept that greater security would entail some intrusion into individual rights, there is no formula for striking the appropriate balance. This article attempts to arrive at a workable framework by examining how the United States' public health system works. This …

No Value For A Pound Of Flesh: Extending Marketinalienability Of The Human Body, Andrew Wancata
Journal of Law and Health
In the United States and many countries throughout the world, selling non-regenerative organs for monetary gain constitutes a serious criminal offense. Notwithstanding this strong ban on the sale of organs, United States citizens are permitted to sell other "parts" of their bodies, including blood, sperm, and eggs ("ova"), for market value because current statutes do not consider reproductive cells and other regenerative tissue "organs" or even within the ambit of "parts." Rather, in most contexts, regenerative cells and tissue are though of as "products" of the human body. In fact, the United States remains one of only a few industrialized …

Community Health Centers: Health Care As It Could Be, Juniper Lesnik

This article explores the potential of community health centers (CHCs) to become a central component providing health care in America.

It argues that CHCs have the capacity to address the problem of access to health services and to provide a vibrant model for the revival of primary care. Part I deals with the history, structure, current scope, and funding of CHCs. Part II looks at national health care goals and how CHCs are uniquely poised …
Occupational Risk: The Outrageous Reaction To Hiv Positive Public Safety And Health Care Employees In The Workplace, Manju Gupta
Occupational Risk: The Outrageous Reaction To Hiv Positive Public Safety And Health Care Employees In The Workplace, Manju Gupta
Journal of Law and Health
Society, including the legal profession, fears the risk of transmission of HIV in an occupational setting. This is particularly true for those in the health care and public safety settings (fire fighters, police, and healthcare practitioners). This note will assert that the law should afford HIV infected public safety and healthcare employees the right to continue in their occupations. According to current medical evidence, when public safety and healthcare employees use universal precautions the risk of transmission to a person(s) assisted is insignificant. At the beginning of the epidemic, the medical profession had yet to conduct research, and the risks …

The Doctor Will E-Mail You Now: Physicians' Use Of Telemedicine To Treat Patients Over The Internet, Lisa Rannefeld
Journal of Law and Health
This article examines the problems currently associated with the practice of telemedicine and suggests that the best solution for this particular field of medicine is a national standard of care. This article also suggests that the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) current functions are easily expandable to the telemedicine context; therefore, the agency should regulate the implementation of such a standard in the telemedicine field. This article proposes that the FDA use medical practice guidelines in developing the applicable standard. Other agencies, such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and other website alliances, could also aid the FDA in implementing …
