Clarity of Healthcare Reform?
More like "50 Shades of Grey".
While this month's editorial may not sell 30 million copies or be made into a movie, the salacious and convoluted course of healthcare reform debate amongst legislators and justices, media and members of the medical industrial complex, many of whom stand to gain through the chaotic disruption of our current system, makes for quite a scintillating novel of supreme mastery of politics and power. Wait a minute! Isn't there is a critical character missing from this storyboard. Where are the doctors?

| The Dr. Tafur Generations Program at Mountain Vista takes a holistic approach to helping seniors ages 55 and older improve mental and physical health
Sometimes when loved ones and even healthcare providers

focus on physical health issues of senior patients, their mental state can be ignored or disregarded as they're simply "getting old." Unfortunately, it can be something far more serious. Like a trigger, physical conditions of seniors can spiral, causing various mental health needs, as well. Conversely, mental health issues may prevent seniors from taking necessary medications or getting the proper medical care they need, causing their physical health to deteriorate. The staff at Mountain Vista Medical Center understands the special needs of senior patients and recently launched a geropsych program to provide a new type of care to the seniors in the East Valley.

One in Three Physicians Plan to Quit Within 10 Years
|
| Blaming low compensation and the hassles of healthcare reform, 34% of physicians say they plan to leave the practice of medicine over the next decade, according to a new national survey.
The online survey of 2,218 physicians by Atlanta-based healthcare staffing recruiters Jackson Healthcare also found that 16% of the respondents said they will, or are strongly considering , retiring, leaving medicine, or going part-time in 2012.
Sheri Sorrell, market research manager for Jackson Healthcare, says many of the essay responses from responding physicians were quite lengthy and emotional, especially as they related their reactions to the sweeping changes in medicine that will be brought on by healthcare reform and market demands.

Physician quality: What's age got to do with it?
| Slowly, but surely, Norman Dunitz, MD, discovered the limitations that age placed on his ability to safely practice as an orthopedic surgeon in Tulsa, Okla. As he neared 70, he took fewer cases as a lead surgeon and started assisting on more procedures led by his colleagues.
Dr. Dunitz spent the last few years delivering patient care solely in the office, treating patients' orthopedic problems with medication, injections, physical rehabilitation orders and referrals for surgery. And in July, he retired from patient care at the age of 84. While Dr. Dunitz's body told him when it was time to cut back, physicians are sometimes the last to notice or acknowledge when age has impaired their ability to deliver high-quality care.
The aging U.S. doctor population raises patient safety concerns, say experts on geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychology and physician assessment. Virtually no one agrees with the idea of mandating physician retirement at a certain age, as is done with airline pilots who turn 65. And physicians and patient safety experts agree that many doctors deliver excellent care well into their golden years.
