acute myeloid leukemia risk factors :: Article Creator Risk Factors For Leukemia Family History of Leukemia Your risk of getting leukemia may be greater if one of your family members has also been diagnosed with it. (1) Having a parent with leukemia doesn't seem to raise a child's risk for leukemia. But siblings of children with leukemia are more likely to develop the cancer. This risk is also increased for identical twins. If a twin develops childhood leukemia, the other twin has about a 1 in 5 chance of having it as well. (7) Environmental Factors Linked to Leukemia Many environmental factors have been linked to leukemia, including: Radiation Being around high levels of radiation may increase the risk for leukemia. For instance, people who were exposed to atomic bomb explosions during World War II had higher rates of leukemia than those who weren't. A 20-year study that followed workers who cleaned up after the Chernobyl nucl...

general practitioner near me :: Article Creator Health Equity: Meet The Young Doctor Working To Change The Game For Rural Australians As Dr Dan Wilson sees it, there's an uncomfortable truth about healthcare in Australia: "Your postcode determines your health outcomes." "The further away you move from a capital city, the less time you spend in this world, and the quality of your life – measured objectively through quality adjusted life years – is less," Wilson says. "I think those communities that truly do suffer are those where there is no access to primary care. Communities where they previously had a general practice, nurse practitioner or nursing service, and that practitioner leaves, are a peak example of where [healthcare] will plummet very, very quickly." Wilson is a general practitioner in the town of Maryborough, Victoria, population 8,000. He's also one of Maryborough's rural generalists, a...

primary care physician that accepts medicaid near me :: Article Creator Compensation Is Key To Fixing Primary Care Shortage Money talks. The United States faces a serious shortage of primary care physicians for many reasons, but one, in particular, is inescapable: compensation. Substantial disparities between what primary care physicians earn relative to specialists like orthopedists and cardiologists can weigh into medical students' decisions about which field to choose. Plus, the system that Medicare and other health plans use to pay doctors generally places more value on doing procedures like replacing a knee or inserting a stent than on delivering the whole-person, long-term health care management that primary care physicians provide. As a result of those pay disparities, and the punishing workload typically faced by primary care physicians, more new doctors are becoming specialists, often leaving patients with fewer choices for prim...
