		<description><![CDATA[The compelling book "Information Is Beautiful" has been published in nine languages. All of it was conceived and designed by David McCandless, a London-based author, data journalist and  information designer who says he "loves pie - but hates pie-charts". Here's how he and his team illustrate the mind-boggling multi-billion dollar corporate fines and settlements of the past seven years. Last year, three of the highest four fines were charged to drug companies. <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2013/05/18/punytive-damages-the-biggest-corporate-fines-ever/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=11218&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With doctors being urged to join the universal lockstep march towards embracing social media, many simply do not ‘get’ professional social media guidelines urging docs to avoid engaging in online behaviour which could be perceived as unprofessional, inappropriate or offensive by others. In fact, such doctors are often the most openly disdainful of any attempts to advise them on what they should or should not be doing online - or anyplace else. <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2013/05/10/anonymous-doctors-social-media/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=11265&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mary Weiss lost her only child after her son Dan Markingson committed suicide while taking antipsychotic drugs as part of a university drug trial funded by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca.  Mary had repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to get Dan out of the clinical trials, arguing that he had been too ill to give informed consent and that he was clearly deteriorating and suicidal. After his death, the University of Minnesota continued to deny any responsibility during nine subsequent years that Mary spent trying to have Dan's death investigated. And when a court ruled that U of M had immunity from lawsuit, the university turned around and sued Dan's grieving mother for $57,000 in legal fees.  Please help bring justice to Dan's family by signing this petition asking for an independent investigation into this drug industry-funded research scandal. <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2013/05/02/danmarkingson/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=11215&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Many of us patients are already nagged by our caregivers, family members, co-workers and clinicians to do what we are supposed to, and we are particularly sensitive to that form of communication.

		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Goetz, writing in The Atlantic: "It's easy to let the futuristic allure of health-tracking technology obscure the fact that people with diabetes have been tracking their own health for 30 years now. They are the real early adopters here, and their jaded experience challenges those - like myself - who would argue that self-tracking tools are the salve for so many conditions. In short, the paradox is this: If self-tracking is so great, why do people living with diabetes hate it so much?"  And why haven't the tech hypemeisters selling all those health-tracking sensors, apps and devices asked that same question of Real Live Patients? Could it be because they are clueless? <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2013/04/08/clueless/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=11146&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oxford's Dr. Susan Greenfield:  "The printing press enabled you to read both fiction and fact that gave you insight into the real world.  A fridge enabled you to keep your food fresh longer. A car or a plane enabled you to travel farther and faster. But current technologies have been converted from being means to being ends. What concerns me is not the technology in itself, but the degree to which it has become a lifestyle in and of itself rather than a means to improving your life." <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2013/03/31/digital-temptations-quantifying-tracking-or-gamifying-everything/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=10963&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
