Fall 1996 issue

The Fall issue of the Medical Sentinel to be released September 1, 1996, promises to be another hit in medical journalism. In defense of freedom and individual liberty the Fall issue of the Medical Sentinel again challenges political correctness, dogmatism in medical practice, and orthodoxy in the medical literature with logical reasoning and factual information - all, in the pursuit of transcendence.

This momentous issue - scholarly yet hard-hitting - features:

Dr. Jane M. Orient, Executive Director of the AAPS, crosses swords with Senator John Warner (R-VA) in the special exchange, "The Criminalization of Medicine," discussing the onerous provisions contained in the wolf in sheep's clothing Kassebaum-Kennedy Bill and the legal consequences for unwary physicians in the trenches of medical practice. Dr. Orient also concludes her incisive remarks in "Practice Guidelines and Outcomes Research (Part II): Scientific Pitfalls" with a pertinent discussion of the scientific method (and its pitfalls) when applied to the vagaries of health care policy research.

Dr. John R. Hilsebeck puts his finishing touches to his revealing article "Medical Practice Today: How Did We Get Here? (Part II)," explaining why in the medical marketplace, "things are not always what they seem," and we may still end up, after all, with socialized managed health care.

Dr. Robert P. Nirschl, MD, MS, Chairman of the Jeffersonian Health Policy Foundation, discusses "Managed Health Care Ideology: Capitalism or Communism?" in a thought-provoking salvo aimed at the heart of corporate socialized medicine.

Dr. Lawrence R. Huntoon, in "Central Planning and Outcomes Based Research," discloses his personal high school aptitude test scores, "occupation indicators," and "predicted outcomes" according to the central planner bureaucrats, and with his characteristic incisive humor compares them to his "observed outcomes and inclinations"- and reveals in mock epic fashion why he, against all odds, became a physician, despite (and probably to the dismay of) the predictions of the "Central Planners."

Dr. Miguel A. Faria, Jr., editor-in-chief of the Medical Sentinel, in his highly charged editorial, "To the Tune of Washington's Pied Pipers," discloses and exposes the political uses of children in a myriad of health care pet projects in the modern liberals' crusade to further collectivize America.

And, much, much more...including articles on Medicare, the Constitution, the virtues of MSAs, the iniquities intrinsic to the corporate (socialized) practice of medicine, and even humor ("Four Weddings").
