D’virke clinics not spared closure
Manawatu Standard
“They said they would be more pro-active about letting us know. Mrs Reynolds said she would try to attend next Tuesday’s hospital advisory committee meeting to protest the decision. The loss of the clinics means about 36 people a month have to continue to travel from Tararua to Palmerston North to see specialists in urology general surgery and ophthalmology. MidCentral Health’s justification was that more people including more Tararua patients could be seen in Palmerston North. Figures from the outpatient review show an extra 70 people a month were able to get appointments and over three months an extra 22 Tararua people had been seen as well. MidCentral Health general manager Lareen Cooper said the decision to keep the clinics in Palmerston North “will not suit everybody”. Initiatives had been put in place to help Tararua patients such as dedicated out-of-town car parks at the hospital and a shuttle operating around the hospital grounds.

Public patients sent to doctors’ own hospital
Sydney Morning Herald
–> Public patients sent to doctors’ own hospital. –> Louise Hall Health Reporter August 27 2009 A GRUP of urologists were paid to operate on public patients in a private hospital they own because the NSW Government needed to cut elective surgery waiting lists to qualify for up to $300 million in Commonwealth incentive payments. The five partners in Urology Sydney – a consortium of doctors who also run the urology department at St George Hospital – were funded by NSW Health to urgently treat more than 100 public patients. They negotiated a deal directly with the area health service that manages St George to treat 58 patients at Hurstville Private Hospital in the weeks leading up to the June 2009 deadline. The same urologists had bought the hospital for $3. 3 million in partnership with three other surgeons 21 months earlier. The deal gave them exclusive access to any public patients re-directed to the private sector and the capacity to earn income as both the treating doctors and as the owners of the hospital.

CMMUNITY FRUM:Letters
Colorado Springs Gazette
He emphasized that I needed to find a new urologist to continue follow-up checks and testing. So I called TRICARE and explained my situation. About a week later I received a referral letter in the mail directing me to a new urologist in Cañon City. When I called TRICARE to ask why I couldn’t be seen by a urologist in Colorado Springs they said “no urologist in Colorado Springs takes TRICARE Prime” (supposedly the gold standard of TRICARE programs). When I asked “So what does that tell you about TRICARE?” I got a blank response. I stewed about this for a couple of weeks until another military retiree pointed out to me that Evans Army Community Hospital at Fort Carson has a urology department.

Pathological characteristics of prostate cancer in elderly men …
UroToday
Recent guidelines recommend that men older than 75 years should not be screened for prostate cancer. However increased life expectancy and the development of less invasive treatments have led to an interest in characterizing prostate cancer in elderly men. We determined how prostate cancer pathological characteristics differ in men older vs younger than 70 years. We studied differences in prostate cancer pathological characteristics in autopsied glands from men 70 years old or older and compared findings to those in men younger than 70 years.

Ureteroscope cleaning and sterilization by the urology operating …
UroToday
Although surgical use can degrade ureteroscope function the cleaning and sterilization process can also cause great damage. We performed a study to define the effect of having the urology nursing staff process and sterilize all ureteroscopes rather than the central processing core; the total repair cost and cost per use were analyzed. From April 2007 to March 2008 all ureteroscopes were processed by the urology nursing staff. We analyzed the average cost per use as a measure of the effectiveness of this strategy. For all endoscopic stone removal cases a flexible ureteroscope is opened onto the operative field; therefore after every endoscopic procedure the flexible ureteroscope needs processing and sterilizing. The number of times each ureteroscope was processed and the type and cost of repairs were recorded.

"In contrast many sex therapists have been emphasising foreplay instead. The study of men is the first study on ED that used the duration of an erection as a key performance index.
