Biotech and Healthcare

1) Summary: When doctors are sanctioned by state boards, how should the practice respond?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b240@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 27 July

Query:

Health care providers may be sanctioned by state medical boards
in ways that leave them free to continue practicing medicine
(though sometimes with restrictions).

What are the options for the medical practices that employ or
partner with these providers?

Is it common to stipulate such options in employment/partnership
contracts?

Can they legally force the provider to take leave or resign?

If their sanction affects a group's liability insurance burden,
has the practice any option for recouping it from the provider?

And how should the practice handle a situation in which a
provider's sanction becomes known to concerned patients?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Requirements:

Looking for legal or medical practice management experts and
attorneys familiar with provider contracts and state medical

Dr. Anthony Fauci now says he doesn't foresee the U.S.

Earlier this month, the World Health Organization also said it
is unlikely that the world can eradicate or eliminate Covid-19

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b0go@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Theravive

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 28 July

Query:

Gallup, the group behind CliftonStrengths, discussed the
importance of knowing employee strengths to increase engagement
in their "State of the American Workplace" report. While there
are clear biases, it is worth exploring.

https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/308939/defeat-employee-loneliness-worry-cliftonstrengths.aspx

They said, "Committing to building strengths-based connections
will result in a healthier, more engaged, better-coached culture
when the pandemic is over. Organizations and leaders may need to
step up development initiatives -- especially for managers -- to
get there, but the results are worth it. Strength-based
workplaces are proven to be significantly more collaborative and
inclusive."

For managers or HR professionals, do you think there is anything
to this? Has addressing strengths benefiting your workplace
engagement or do you think the benefits of understanding
strengths is minimal? Interested in all perspectives. I have no
affiliation with Gallup.

Requirements:

Interested in hearing from researchers, business leaders, and
other smart people for perspectives on this issue. Additional
comments/insight beyond the query are welcome.

Email replies only.

Researching the idea that niche/streaming services are perhaps
well-positioned to serving underrepresented groups. Examples:
HBO Max's Legendary (ball culture / LGBT subculture), Orange is
the New Black on Netflix, Transparent on Amazon, The Half of It,
etc that might not be so accepted on "normal" TV. But does this
representation lead to mainstream acceptance? What does
mainstream acceptance look like?

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 28 July

Query:

I'm looking to interview a psychologist, therapist, sex
therapist or mental health expert who is comfortable discussing
sexuality and asexuality.

These are the questions I'm like to have answered:

1. First briefly describe your qualifications and your
background.

2. This article got started because someone asked us if "women"
even like sex. Why is there an idea among penis-having folks
that vulva-having individuals don't like sex? Is it sexism? Is
it toxic masculinity? Why would someone have this idea? In other
words, why is there an idea that vulva-owners and penis-owners
are "wired" differently?

3. There are lots of ways of having sex - and not all involve
penetration. Why might someone not be into penetrative sex?

4. Sexuality is a spectrum - some people consider themselves
very sexual, some consider themselves asexual or on the ACE
scale. What research is there on sexuality and why it's a
spectrum? Why do some individuals want sex more than others?

5. What advice do you have for couples who are having trouble
with sex/wanting different things in a sexual relationship?

6. What advice do you have for someone discussing sex and what
they want with a potential partner?

7. There's this idea that if someone is asexual, they must have
some trauma that prevents them from enjoying sex. Is there any
truth to this? Is it possible to not enjoy sex without harm?

8. If trauma is a reason why someone doesn't enjoy sex, what
kind of therapies are available if they want to change that in
themselves? In other words, if someone used to enjoy sex and
doesn't anymore because of trauma - and not because they
perceive themselves as asexual -, what can they do?

Requirements:

Psychologist, sex therapist or expert comfortable discussing
sexuality.

Certain MLB players have vowed to continue spitting during this

What psychological factors are at play here? Do ballplayers have
any medical justification to keep spitting? Or is their spitting
simply habitual? (Obviously sunflower seeds, gum, etc plays a
role.) Meanwhile, are there any athletes (in sports with far
more running, perhaps?) for whom spitting is physically
essential? Like runners, or soccer players. If so, what do we
make of players who run quite a bit inside (basketball players,
for instance) who can't and therefore will not spit?

Query:

I live in New Orleans, a famously drunk locale. We also have
tattoo studios everywhere. I, personally, have never gotten a
drunk tattoo, but I have seen many other folks stumbling into
tattoo parlors. Is this okay?

Here are my questions: 1. Is it okay to drink before getting a
tattoo? If so, how much? 2. I heard that alcohol thins your
blood and that you might bleed more if you get a tattoo if you
have been drinking. This makes sense, but also, how serious is
this? 3. Honestly, to me getting a drunk tattoo seems like a bad
idea because most folx don't make very good decisions when
they're drunk and a tattoo is a really long term decision to
make poorly. Even if it's not bad, health-wise, it just seems
un-wise. Thoughts on this? 4. Could getting a tattoo drunk
impact healing time? 5. What else do people need to know? 6.
What is your name, specialty, location, pronoun, and any
academic affiliation.

PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THIS POST. PR folx, I love you, but
