evoke25 asked:

Is there a way for Americans to research the financial ties between doctors, drug makers and medical device companies? How can patients find out if a doctor is being paid by a certain drug company or receiving perks like free meals and vacations accompanied by lectures? Any insider information from people who work in medicine would be greatly appreciated.

screaming monk asked:

Used in conjunction with a home computer, various devices for measuring and testing the physiological particulars and conditions of the user could be made. Data could then be stored on disc, and made available to professionals. Online, or “live” monitoring could be made by busy doctors a thousand miles away. The interactive ‘home medical testing kit’ could even serve to provide crude diagnostics, or at least follow up recommendations for the user and doctor. Is this possible today? What type of tests could be made with this
“kit”? examples: blood gas concentrations, respiration, heart rate, blood pressure …what else? Could this take some of the pressure off the national health care system? Or would erred and false testing (positives) complicate matters and end up bogging down the system? What other problems might there be? I hope my question isn’t too “pie in the sky”. Is it is even viable?
To the first poster: Womens’ health care, testing and monitoring affords itself well to this DIY technology, and kits specifically designed for women could be made separately. Great idea—thank you very much.
