Viewpoints: Patients Lose Even With Rural Health Transformation Program; Dentists' Role In The Opioid Crisis

Editorial writers discuss these public health issues.

I always feel a heightened awareness as I navigate a catheter through the right side of the heart and into the pulmonary artery, the blood vessel carrying blood flow into the lungs. It鈥檚 a three-dimensional trip, tracked in two dimensions on fluoroscopy. Because of the strain a pulmonary embolism puts on the heart, the anatomy is distorted. While watching on the screen, I make small movements and slowly advance to find the right trajectory. The catheter jumps into position. (Daniel Torrent, 2/25)

It was a routine day in my practice. A 28-year-old man 鈥 polite, soft-spoken, and visibly anxious 鈥 walked into my dental chair for what he thought would be a quick fix for a nagging toothache. Halfway through the exam, I asked a standard question from a new screening tool we had begun using: 鈥淗ave you ever used, or do you currently use, any controlled substances?鈥 (Divya Upadhyay, 2/25)

The Health secretary released a video of him flexing with Kid Rock, while his reckless decisions have contributed to more than 900 people contracting measles in 2026. (Robert B. Shpiner, 2/22)

Future clinicians should be training on how to use this technology effectively. (Ashish K. Jha, 2/24)

We surveyed medical workers across 14 cities and 11 provinces about their experiences treating wounded protesters. (Roxana Saberi and Fatemeh Jamalpour, 2/25)
