    New story (thread): My latest story is about Andy Jurtschenko. Before I tell you what happened to him, his children, Megan & Chris, would want you to know their dad was a lovable goofball who loved the NY Mets and was so proud of owning a carpet store.

    My husband had an ER stay last summer and we're STILL dealing with insurance. There are 7 different billers! He has so far taken 2 half days off work just to be on the phone for hours advocating for proper payment and isn't done yet. How do people without PTO do it?

    The hardest thing about having a chronic illness is how incredibly isolating it is. I am fortunate to have wonderful friends and family, but being sick is inherently a lonely experience (especially so if you are a young single person).

    I don’t know who needs to hear this but the results are on paper and delays in reporting are normal

    Patients widely received antibiotics with no record of seeing a doctor, a nationwide study found, despite recommendations that doctors physically screen patients to prevent unnecessary prescriptions that could contribute to superbugs via

    I am a Wuhan girl living in Hong Kong. Right now, all my close family is under lock-down back in my hometown, at the epicenter of this epidemic.

  8. (4) Anyhow, I'm feeling very fortunate to have access to good care, insurance, support from friends & family, and a job that lets me take ample time off to heal. I know so many others aren't as lucky, and wish our health system had better support for them. (end)

  9. I can of course request my records, but it's on me to do that, and I'm guessing most patients don't know how to do that. B/c it was emergency surgery, I was in a hospital system I'm not usually in. I wonder if those records will ever get transferred to my PCP if I don't initiate.

  10. (3) Reminder of how non-patient-centric our health system is: on discharge I had no paperwork I could refer to saying what my diagnosis was, what procedure I went thru, who treated me. The only paper I can reliably count on coming my way is, of course... a medical bill.

  11. Either way a huge hassle b/c I live in a 4th fl walkup & needed a ton of assistance to get up the stairs, wld have been so hard to get back down the next day to get those meds. Again, so hard to be a solo patient w/o support.

  12. Wondered what they'd do if I was alone. The nurse was responsible for my ward, so I don't think she could leave the floor. Would they have delayed discharge? Asked me to come back the next day? ...

  13. (2) Really struck me how hard it is to go thru the system alone. When I was being discharged, nurse turned to my husband, "Oh! the pharmacy closes in 10 minutes, she needs her antibiotics. Run!" He booked it and just made it. At that point I could not walk unassisted...

  14. the many folks at the ER who noticed me shivering so I ended up with 5(!) blankets, my incredibly funny surgeon... I tend to write about bad docs and systems gone awry, & don't give many shoutouts to the majority of health folks who do good work w such heart, so THANK YOU.

  15. (1) SO grateful for compassionate health workers, like nurse Rosa Lee who said she'd stay w/ me to make sure I was ok with morphine, since it was my 1st time, EMTs Greg & Roger who did a magical move w/ the bedsheet to lift me from bed to gurney so I didn't have to move myself...

  16. I've had *quite* a January with a few medical mishaps, including a mild concussion & appendicitis. Glad to be mostly recovered now, and of course, being a health reporter, have lots of thoughts on my recent encounters with the health care system... (thread)

    We talked to a dozen patient families. What we heard was sheer desperation. Some could only watch their beloved one die at home. Some patients had to walk hours to the hospital. Some patients had to wait in the hospital for 14 hours. The words came up most are 等 and 没办法。

    i've said it a thousand times and i'll say it again: the best tool in a data journalist's toolbox is a phone. call folks who know the data and get an understanding of it before analysis.

  20. And finally, a thoughtful article on creating a diverse workplace (about tech, but could well apply to journalism). I particularly loved Blanche's point about starting early.
