Brain Science: Election Day +2, 2024 Personal, Congressional, and National Accountability

Blind Spots, a recent book by Marty Makary, is an in-depth analysis of how medicine gets it so wrong in some significant public health cases, frequently due to groupthink. Specifically, in the chapter “A Comedy of Errors,” Makary relates how his team “noted the same patterns of medical elites ruling by edict and kneecapping the brave souls who challenged their dogma.” All this misguided “science” that leads to misdirection in medical practice is a good segue to the current medical and policy debate in a running gun battle with reports of “Havana Syndrome”, aka Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI).

Havana Syndrome: Part 1

Mysteries, coverups, not-to-be-believed but proven-true injuries, and careers destroyed. Children too. This is the stuff of Tom Clancy. And Netflix.

What the VA can learn from the National Park Service

If rangers in the National Park Service were experiencing among their wildlife populations the equivalent of what DoD and the VA call “the suicide epidemic”, they would not ignore immediately available solutions. They would move heaven and earth to understand the crisis, and find antidotes or vaccines, or any treatments that would save the wildlife.

A Half-Truth is a Whole Lie

Lately, polarized politics turns all problems into wicked problems. Thus, politics has become a series of half-truths dressed up as policy statements that become rallying cries and wish lists. Concerning Veterans, four half-truths that have become whole lies are instructive.

The NFL could run the VA, and vice versa

It is not hyperbole to draw parallels between the NFL and the VA [and DoD as well] when it comes to willful ignorance about how to both diagnose and treat brain wounds, no matter when suffered. And even they know that the earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the greater the likelihood that suicides, suffering and costs are reduced.
