  • Evidence found of successful Stone Age amputation

    Updated: 2010-01-26 18:33:51
    Evidence has been found that shows a successful amputation was performed 6,900 years ago. The surgeon was dressed in a goat or sheep skin and used a sharpened stone to amputate the arm of his patient. The operating theatre was not exactly Harley Street — more probably a wooden shelter — but the intervention was a success, [...]

  • Biomedical science is not a game for the young?

    Updated: 2010-01-26 16:14:00
    : skip to main skip to sidebar HMS Countway Library of Medicine Director's Blog Harvard Medical School's Countway Library of Medicine and the new frontiers in biomedical computing 2010-01-26 Biomedical science is not a game for the young The National Institutes of Health have helpfully posted summary information about their funding patterns It is much more revealing of the training patterns and mentoring of young investigators at our academic centers than any specific NIH policy . It is evident that whatever your terminal degree , your age at first R01 is 42-44, a full 10 years older than the age of first R01 in 1970. PhD's only are 2 years younger on average than MD's and MD-PhD's are remarkably no older than the MD's which was not the case in 1970 What does this say about the capability of our research workforce to be energetically innovative Are we drawing from the right pool of investigators or is there something fundamentally wrong in the institutionalized career path leading to an R01 Posted by Isaac Zak Kohane at 11:14 AM Labels : academics Education NIH Funding 0 comments : Post a Comment Older Post Home Subscribe to : Post Comments Atom Informative Links Harvard Medical

  • Who are the right practictioners of medicine?

    Updated: 2010-01-25 16:06:00
    This report from Haiti is a reminder that doctors are not always the answer to a healthcare need. We might be well-served by a national discussion of what are the properties of healthcare practitioners that we believe we are seeking to maximize and whether these are well matched to our needs as a society and as patients. It is a discussion which will also inform budgets.
