52. BRUCE R. BAUMAN, DDS, upon consultation with me, and in the presence of my companion at the time, agreed to help me find my bite, rather than force some idealized bite via Temporaries. After taking film X-RAYS but before attempting to place thousands of dollars of permanent restorations including regular implants, he sent me to yet another Endodontist, DAVID LI, DMD, SYNERGY DENTAL SPECIALISTS, Palm Desert, who tested my teeth and none were vital except a molar that was causing pain and for which he did a Root Canal. Pain gone! But LI said my upper teeth would become necrotic. So I decided on a denture instead of crowns. BAUMAN, however, disagreed with LI, who he sent me to. He wanted to save my teeth with thousand dollars in restorations but I would not let anyone pressure me into thousands of dollars in additional dental work without resolving my bite problem, especially if the upper teeth were dying. So I just allowed BAUMAN to provide the filling and a crown for the Root Canal, as well as a one-piece acrylic long term Temporary over-denture which he made himself, at a charge of $2,000. billed as Observation. After I paid him, he informed me that if I should insist on a denture, his oral surgeon, MARC SALOMONE (who he knew, from my informing him, had reportedly been blackballing me all over town) would do my extractions! Then, contrary to his promise to 'find my bite, he put the bite pressure on my back teeth and the fake teeth that were supposed to be non-functional, but no bite on my front teeth, stating it was how HE wanted it and refused to change it, despite that it was MY mouth, MY teeth, MY money and MY pain!. Within a short time, first one side and then the other side of the overdenture broke off from the bite pressure that BAUMAN forced me to endure. BAUMAN said he would attempt a repair but no adjustments. Ever since, I've been left with only 4 front (plastic Temporary) teeth that have relieved the back teeth from bite pain but a smile revealed missing teeth on both sides-just tiny fangs and the remaining plastic piece comes loose when I eat (only soft foods) and I am at risk for swallowing it. And I was again without a primary dentist. (10-12-07, $3700.00) Failure to properly or timely treat a condition; Plaintiff sued Artenberg, Ippolito and New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Screening involves a blood test that looks for something called the prostate specific antigen (PSA). So, the PSA test tells a doctor how much PSA is in the bloodstream as a result of changes in the man's prostate.

Background Health advocacy is currently a key component of medical education in North America. In Canada, Health Advocate is one of the seven roles included in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada's CanMEDS competency framework. Method A literature search was undertaken to determine the current state of health advocacy in Canadian postgraduate medical education and to identify issues facing educators and learners with regards to health advocacy training. Results The literature revealed that the Health Advocate role is considered among the least relevant to clinical practice by educators and learners and among the most challenging to teach and assess. Furthermore learners feel their educational needs are not being met in this area. A number of key barriers affecting health advocacy education were identified including limited published material on the subject, lack of clarity within the role, insufficient explicit role modeling in practice, and lack of a gold standard for assessment. Health advocacy is defined and its importance to medical practice is highlighted, using pediatric emergency medicine as an example. Conclusions Increased published literature and awareness of the role, along with integration of the new 2015 CanMEDS framework, are important going forward to address concerns regarding the quality of postgraduate health advocacy education in Canada. (f) The findings of the General Assembly under this Code section include, without limitation, that a reasonable relationship exists between the provisions, goals, and classifications of this Code section and the rational, legitimate state objectives of providing quality health care, assuring the availability of physicians, preventing the curtailment of medical services, stabilizing insurance and medical costs, preventing stale medical malpractice claims, and providing for the public safety, health, and welfare as a whole.
