Health care delivery in the U.S. is being bought up by corporations with money raised by “private equity” investment, a topic I introduced last issue.

A research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides initial findings from the most recent (2022) survey on the use of complementary health approaches (CHA). The findings include data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which conducts interviews both by phone and in-person.

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
