So many counter-intuitive findings recently. For example, a new study claims 7 of the 10 most profitable hospitals in the country are "non-profit." Let me say that again, most profitable hospitals in the country are usually nonprofit. Or, despite the drive to improve surgical quality by limiting surgeries at low volume hospitals, it appears that the relationship between volume and patient outcomes is not as clear as had been thought, once "more advanced statistical modeling" is used to analyze the data. Wait, what? Either one of these would be a good topic to write about, and many others have done so already (e.g., KHN and Modern Healthcare, respectively)...

Not Just a Game
By Kim Bellard | November 9, 2016
I fear the Apocalypse may be here. No, don't worry; this has nothing to do with our recent Presidential election. Many others have already opined on that, from all perspectives, and I'll leave any further discussion about it to them. No, what struck a nerve with me is something that drew much less attention: a U.S. university has given out what is believed to be the first varsity scholarship for esports. That's crazy, right? We know what college sports are, and they're not esports. Are esports even sports? Why would a university be giving out athletic scholarships in them?...
