Health Writing? Start With Cancer And Drill Down

July 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Health writing is about bringing hope to the afflicted. Cancer writing, not so much. One is about the future and the steps to make it better. The other is layered with dread. One is about improving conditions, about personal bests, about gains; the other is layered with dread. Health writing brings nutrition, […]

HEALTHCARE COSTS, INSURANCE MISTAKES

July 28, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Did anyone notice a senate vote on healthcare costs from insurance mistakes? It happens everyday across America. Has it happened to you? On a regular basis throughout my healthcare adventure with HPV16 throat cancer I’ve been billed by mistake. Take yesterday for example.

HEALTHCARE VOTE FOR CANCER COURAGE, CANCER COWARD

July 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

What are the chances of any U.S. Senator feeling the pain of cancer, or any other pre-existing condition? John McCain is front and center with a brain tumor. Let’s watch his healthcare vote to decide if the rest of America deserves the same medical attention as a U.S. Senator. This is the Navy flier who […]

HEALTHCARE BULLY PREYS ON THE WEAKEST

July 22, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Any coherent healthcare bully debate needs to go beyond the numbers, the insurance companies. Beyond drug company research and development that puts the BIG in Big Pharma. It’s about who the healthcare bully reaches for in the debate. The most vulnerable, of course. The population currently undergoing severe medical treatment. I’ll use cancer treatment […]

SECRET VOTES: SCHOOL, SAFETY, HEALTH CARE

June 21, 2017 by David Gillaspie

During election years voters pick their horse, their favorite. No secret votes at the start. If they turn out they way they say they’ll turn out, good job in the ballot box. If they don’t they have a built in excuse: “I’m the lesser of two evils.” No one runs a campaign based on being […]

MENS HEALTH MONTH, SEE YOUR DOCTOR

June 5, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Younger people ignore their health? That’s not a good trend during Mens Health Month. Maybe they mistrust the medical industry? Big Pharma? There’s some evidence millennials are the most into ‘self care.’ That’s nice, except when self care isn’t enough. Older people ignoring their health is an even worse trend. The mental part of […]

HOW BABY BOOMERS PUSHED WOMEN’S HEALTH

April 1, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Even in 2016 women’s health is a hot button topic? 1973, the year of de-criminalized marijuana and Roe v Wade. What could go wrong? The counter culture had been rolling for years with people moving to Haight Ashbury, joining communes, going to music festivals. More than one family saw their little girl hop into a […]
