/* One Minnesotan teenager is learning the hard way to respect your elders after her mother decided to sell her vehicle to teach her a lesson.
Dubbing herself the “World’s Meanest Mom,” Amy Adams listed her 15-year-old daughter’s 1998 Dodge Ram truck for sale on Craigslist after finding out the teenager had skipped school for the day, reports KARE 11.
“She was on her ‘one more chance and the truck was getting sold.’ And she blew that 'one more chance’ on Monday when she decided to skip school,“ she said.
The jacked-up truck listed in the ad goes for $2,750 dollars, but if you happen to attend the same high school as Adam’s daughter you can take advantage of a special discount.
“If the person driving the truck on a daily basis will be attending North Branch high school next year, you will get a $300 discount. Why? Because I AM the World’s Meanest Mom, and would love for her to be reminded every day next year of all of the mistakes she made,” according to the ad.
Adams said she’s already received over 400 responses to her Craigslist ad so far, many from fellow parents congratulating her for following through with a tough but fair disciplining method.
Adam’s also had a response for anyone who thinks she may have gone too far, saying that being a parent isn’t about being your child’s best friend.
"Where’s that going to leave them five years from now, 10 years from now, when they’re walking around disrespecting the wrong people?,” she said.
The problem with doctors is you only see them after you’re sick. Prevention is preferable.
A new generation of wearable sensors is finally living up to that promise by letting patients get constant, personalized care wherever they go. The convergence of several innovations—small, efficient electronics, smartphone-enabled telemetry and digital patient data—is now opening the way, defeating past barriers of slow wireless connections, insecure data transmission, power-hungry equipment and uncertain regulation.
Preventable hospital readmissions cost Medicare and Medicaid $17 billion (pdf, p2) in 2014, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. Heart failure was one of the worst offenders. A quarter of the 5.1 million people afflicted annually end up back in the hospital with thirty days of discharge.
BeVITAL, an initiative combining wearables and secure data sharing, is one of the first to go after the problem of monitoring patient heart health. BeVITAL’s thin, disposable patch, essentially a sensor-laden Band-Aid weighing 11g (4 oz.), is affixed to patients’ chests to track heart activity, breathing rate, temperature, physical movement, posture, and even falls, says the manufacturer, Vital Connect. The patch can stream vital signs to doctors offices 24/7 and send out warning signals, sometimes weeks in advance, before serious problems begin.
A low-energy Bluetooth connection, powered by a small zinc-air battery lasting about four days, transmits data to a smartphone or hub before it is stored in cloud servers managed by BePATIENT. Doctors can then share information among other healthcare providers, and patients can track their own health, as well as share their challenges with others.
The system has been tested with about 100 patients at five hospitals in Europe, and will arrive at the John Muir medical center in Walnut Creek, California, this summer Valeska Schroeder, a product manager at Vital Connect, said by email. The post-discharge heart patient trial at John Muir is intended to compare data quality and patient outcomes with on-site hospital care.
Previous studies have shown wearable sensors can successfully detect heart attack risk factors as much as three weeks before conventional approaches. Schroeder hopes the new trial will earn BeVITAL regulatory clearance to roll out to millions of new patients for risky conditions from heat attacks to bariatric surgery. */
