A study of colonoscopy insurance claims between 2012-2017 found that 12% of more than 1.1 million procedures included out-of-network costs, mostly involving anesthesiologists. There was also an increased likelihood of additional out-of-network billing if doctors performed an intervention, such as a biopsy. Median cost for a colonoscopy: $418. Air Pollution on the Brain Scientists are increasingly finding possible links between air quality and neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and other dementias. Examining 17 years of data on 63 million Medicare enrollees hospitalized with those conditions and sorted by ZIP codes, they found that for each annual increase of five micrograms per cubic meter of particulate matter in the air, the risk for first-time hospital admissions for Parkinson's and other dementias increased by 13%. Women and white people were at higher risk, perhaps reflecting their longer life expectancies. Get Me That, Stat!

Observation "He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients -- no, three, I think. Yes, it was three; I attended their funerals." -- American humorist Mark Twain (1835-1910) Medical History This week in 2001, Robert Tools, 59, the first person in the world to receive a fully self-contained artificial heart, died in Louisville, Kentucky. Five months earlier, doctors at Jewish Hospital in Louisville had implanted the AbioCor heart replacement. Tools died of internal bleeding and organ failure after living with the device whirring in his chest for 151 days. Doctors said the death was not caused by problems with the AbioCor heart device but rather severe abdominal bleeding related to longstanding health problems.
