How to Sell Without Feeling Sleazy
Oct,02,2013
By:+Cristi Young
Years ago, I found myself at a job where my success depended on the ability to sell. This was the first time I’d ever had sales directly impact my job performance and I convinced myself that because I was social, I could sell with little to no effort. I was dead wrong. And the harder I tried, the more disingenuous I felt. The ability to sell--whether it’s an idea, product or service--is crucial to business success, but what can you do when you're not "the selling type"?

Patients Should Always Get a Second Opinion after Seeing Dr. Google
Sept,30,2013
by:+Melissa Young, MD
I am all for patients educating themselves on their health. I think well-informed patients mean a much better chance of taking better care of themselves. After all, we can’t expect a patient to do what we want him to do unless he knows what that is. I also believe that patients have the right to accept or decline care, so long as that decision is based on accurate information. We are all taught about informed consent; I think we need to accept informed rejection.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Private insurance companies across the U.S. pay doctors dramatically different amounts for the same routine office visits and services, according to a new study.

Med board punishes doc for treating patients via Skype
Sept,27,2013
By:+Ashley Gold
While tele-medicine may hold a lot of promise for improving patient care, one doctor in Eastern Oklahoma was disciplined for treating his patients over video conferencing platform Skype for mental health issues, NewsOK reported.
Thomas Trow, M.D., used Skype, claiming he thought it to be suitable for communicating with his rural patients, and prescribing patients Xanax and other powerful narcotics. However, the Medical Board of Oklahoma doesn't approve of Skype as a tele-medicine communication system, according to NewsOK. One patient was treated for three drug overdoses in less than six months, and later died, while two others also died while under Trow's care, although investigators said it wasn't attributable to the doctor.

7 Content Marketing Poop Scoops
Sept,25,2013
by:+Barry Feldman
On one hand, it’s a good question in that the marketer asking it knows dull content is deadly. But it’s a bad question too. Why? Because it’s the wrong question. The right question is: how do I excite my readers? Note the absence of “tax preparation” or “kitty litter” or “conference calling services” or any mundane product category. Your readers care about something far more important: themselves.
