A pill to treat alcoholism exists.
Why is there shortage of pediatricians? Because they get paid less than every other specialty. (NYT) I will have more to say about this in the future.
Are there so many cesarean births in December because that lowers the parents’ income taxes? From a tax perspective, “A New Year’s Eve baby is better than a New Year’s Day baby.”
I had never heard of the pill to treat alcoholism. I read the article, and more interesting were the comments readers left about the article. Many said they were taking the drug, and it changed their lives. The story said some people had a hard time accessing it (for various reasons), but I found numerous telemedicine websites that would prescribe it. I wonder if they include counseling. It would be a natural fit for a telemedicine practice to dispense medication and require a once-a-week, 15-minute follow-up counseling session with a social worker.
