| Posted: By Dave Gulliver 7/9/2010 © Health News Florida A type of medical scan that delivers a double dose of radiation to the patient is recommended for only a small number of conditions. But some Florida hospitals perform the scans on more than half of their patients, a new study shows. |
| Posted: 7/9/2010 © New York Times HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is sending $25 million to buy drugs for HIV-positive and AIDS patients in states -- including Florida -- where waiting lists have been growing. |
| Swindler targeted Alzheimer�s groups Posted: 7/08/2010 © Orlando Sentinel, Gainesville Sun A Central Florida man has been arrested for joining Alzheimer's support groups to defraud victims. Meanwhile, a UF study suggests that apathy in Alzheimer’s patients may be an aspect of the disease itself, not depression. |
| Posted: By Dave Gulliver 7/8/2010 © Health News Florida Most Florida hospitals are repeating either too many mammograms -- raising risks and cost -- or too few, indicating they may be missing cancers, new data show. One hospital in Palm Beach County repeated mammograms on a whopping 40 percent of patients, while one in Miami-Dade repeated almost none. |

But the industry is trying to kill it, with the help of a Florida Congressman. |
| This is an order: Do not resuscitate!

It helps to have a physician's order in the medical file. FSU is leading an effort in Florida to spread the news. |
| Grimsley not worried about Medicaid HMOs Posted: 7/2/2010 © Florida Tribune Rep. Denise Grimsley says new allegations that came out this week about wrongdoing at Medicaid HMO WellCare won't deter her from proceeding to move all Medicaid patients into managed care. "That was three years ago," she said. |
