I don't think words can describe this man. He was to most caring individual I have ever met. He loved his family above everything and was the most humble gentleman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I miss him and his wit and intuition and pleasant talks we had in the such short time that we became grandfathers of a special person named "Arey" who is in his second year at the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University. I know that he would be so proud of you Arey, as I am today.

Hey everybody, how many of you have ever had an x-ray? Well, if you did and you were the 1st person to have an x-ray that day, then you were also the quality assurance test for the day.
You see if you went to the lab first and got blood drawn or a urine collection, well those tests were put into a machine that was checked to make sure it is working properly before testing any patients. That is called CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1998).
But, in general diagnostic x-ray, the only thing they do is turn the machine on and perform a couple of "tube warm-up exposures" and they don't look at anything.
Now, if your x-rays were in mammography, then at least they look at an image once a week, at least they are supposed to, it's a law called the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992. And if your x-ray was in the C.T. (Computed Tomography) suite then they, just recently in 2018 began having quality assurance testing on a regular basis.
Want to hear more about this? Let me know.

John Steele Gordon wrote a good article on the medical industry and how to fix it. I disagree with him on how to fix it. Presently, if you take the time to search, you find that health insurance is offered and priced by age group. Above age 64,which averages $790 per month, they don't offer a plan.. Why ? because Medicare kicks in, you know that plan that Gordon says is "in a shambles, noted for fraud, waste, and curruption." I believe the solution is Medicare for all, with a waste, fraud and abuse hot line and police investigative units that replace the IRS and only investigate medical waste and fraud. This way every U.S. citizen is covered from the time they are born until they die, and pay for this system with a National Consumption Tax. Now, people are not tied to a job for healthcare. Everybody pays according to their ability to spend money. When you make a purchase 2 cents is collected for your healthcare. Another 2 cents is collected for your Social Security and another 2 cents is collected for your Education K-14. Then another 2 cents is collected to pay off the national debt. Thanks for your loving it.

A recent double blind study by clinicians in Derby teaching hospital, United Kingdom. http://www.awarenessproject.net/
used "cost feedback" to lower the number of lab tests being ordered by physicians. The next project will use "radiation dose awareness" in the ordering of C.T. scans. It was found that many physicians were not aware of the 22% lifetime cancer risk from a pelvic C.T. scan to a 20-year-old female patient.

This project sets out to answer that question through two separate studies: one adds costs to the reports of three common blood tests and the other gives an estimate of the probability of harm...
