A fast-growing crime known as medical identity theft
The last time federal data on the crime was collected, for a 2007 report, more than 250,000 Americans a year were victims of medical identity theft.

Even more common, however, are cases where medical information is stolen by insiders at a medical office. Thieves download vital personal insurance data and related information from the operation’s computerized medical records, then sell it on the black market or use it themselves to make fraudulent billing claims.

This merely highlights how the AMA represents a physician-centered and self-interested perspective rather than honoring the altruistic nature of my profession.

Propofol a 'Contributing Factor' in Jackson's Death
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=8187420&page=1
Powerful anesthetic was found in singer's system, along with other drugs.
ABC News has learned that the autopsy of Michael Jackson found the powerful anesthetic propofol, as well as several prescription drugs, in his system, and law enforcement sources say that investigators believe their final report will list the propofol as a "contributing factor" in his death.
Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who was with him when he died June 25 at his rented California home, has been identified in court papers as the subject of a manslaughter investigation.
Prescription Switching: Are You Getting the Right Drugs?
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8187605&page=1
Some pharmacies switch patients' prescription without notifying them.
Imagine going to the pharmacy to fill your prescription only to learn later that the drug your doctor prescribed is not the one you received. The prescription was switched without your knowledge or permission. Not just switched to a generic version of the prescribed drug, but to a different drug altogether.
That is exactly what happened to Amy Detrick, who said her pharmacist switched her epilepsy medication without her permission. Detrick said the switch ended up sending her to the emergency room with a broken leg and fractured eye socket after she had a seizure while riding her bike. She said the new medication prompted her seizure. "Had I been behind the wheel of a car, I could've caused an accident. I could've put my car around a telephone pole," Detrick said.
Maligned Texas Hospital Gives Top Dollar To Senate Dems

The gleaming, well-equipped Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, which has expanded to 503 beds from 30 in six years, has become a footnote in the health care debate. It was featured unflatteringly in a June article in The New Yorker about geographic disparities in health care spending, a story that President Obama has cited repeatedly in speeches and meetings.
The article, which is sharply disputed by hospital officials, posited that physician ownership provided “an unholy temptation to overorder” tests and procedures because doctors earn not only their fees but also a share of the hospital’s profits. At Doctors Hospital, where 353 of its 452 owners are physicians, net revenue amounted to $64 million in 2008.
Leading members of Congress have long been concerned about the potential for conflicts of interest, lapses in patient safety and cherry-picking of patients with the best insurance at the country’s 230 physician-owned hospitals. Past efforts to restrict ownership by doctors have stalled, but language to that effect is currently included in health care legislation in Congress, though in ways that are unlikely to hurt Doctors Hospital.

And efforts to control medical practices that have driven up expenses, including physician "self-referrals," underscore how difficult it is to alter entrenched patterns.
A host of studies and reports by academics and the federal government shows that physicians who own scanners order many more scans than those who do not. As a result, Americans pay billions of dollars in extra taxes and insurance premiums.
