- Medical Weight LossBut the weight loss achieved was not enough to remove risk factors for heart and kidney problems
- Pediatric CareSandy Chung, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said cash-strapped pediatric offices would have to pay for the costs of the treatment up front and hope enough are used and reimbursed to avoid financial losses. They’ve faced similar challenges with unused flu shots and also have to weigh whether it’s worth buying updated covid shots when booster rates in children are low.

- Emergency CareSome Biden administration officials have questioned whether approval for the updated covid boosters could have been expedited given the recent uptick in covid cases, according to three people with direct knowledge of internal conversations. Covid-related hospitalizations and emergency room visits have increased for the first time since the public health emergency ended in May.
- Infectious DiseasesBut that may leave out many consumers who should get the vaccine but don’t have regular access to a health-care provider, said Camille Kotton, clinical director for transplant and immunocompromised host infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

- ElectrocardiogramNot everyone is eligible for a kidney transplant. Eligibility is decided by a team of professionals involved in the transplant program. Many appointments and tests are required to determine if kidney transplant is right for you. The pre-transplant evaluation includes a physical exam, complete medical and surgical history, chest x-ray, EKG, echocardiogram, blood typing, GI tract, lung testing and, tissue typing. Other procedures will be requested, as needed. You will also meet with members of the transplant team, including the transplant surgeon, transplant coordinator, social worker, psychologist, and pharmacist.
- ImmunizationsDoctors have to figure out how to explain the nuances and unknowns of new vaccines at a time of rampant misinformation. Patients perplexed by changing coronavirus vaccine guidance now have more shots to consider. Public health officials worry a messy rollout could further erode confidence in routine vaccination and risk overwhelming the health-care system with preventable cases of RSV, flu and covid.
