In addition to the general scheme (salaried workers), the agricultural scheme, and the special schemes (which cover certain specific lines of work), France’s Social Security system also has a scheme for self-employed workers not involved in agriculture. These workers’ compulsory Social Security coverage is provided by the Régime Social des Indépendants (RSI).

Routinely reported data are typically the sort of data we use when we work on health care insurance data bases. So the article referenced below is very useful and accurate when working on health care insurance data bases.
Thanks to Hervé Maisonneuve Blog for having referenced this article.
Sometimes, it is good to stop, to take a little time to look at yourself, through the eyes of others. It is something I have tried to do throughout my life, but I think, I have reached the point, where I really have to stop doing it. It wouldn’t be a problem if the world understood what living with a chronic illness really means. Today is a perfect example. Today is pancake day, that means I have to spend a large part of it, making my Psyllium pancakes, essential to keeping my internal systems working. I have laid out before the work that it takes, the time that it takes and just how exhausting the whole process is to me. Trust me, this is probably the day in my current life, that has to be carried out frequently, that I hate. Through the eyes of others, it is one of…

Confession time.
Leaving the bedside as a nurse for a management job was quite possibly one of the worst things I have ever done.
Now that I have returned to the bedside, I feel nervous, anxious, worried, and doubtful. And it sucks. Big time. Things as simple as an IV push medication have become anxiety-provoking. I am afraid I’ll forget something, forget everything, forget to chart a detail, forget to draw a lab, forget my brain at home.
Yes, it’s true. I have forgotten how it feels to be a confident floor nurse.
Sigh….
I have bit my tongue for quite some time about my stint in management, but when I look back upon that brief experience, I don’t have much to feel good about. I felt awful going to work almost every single shift. I never once felt that I was making a difference.
I felt like I was checking boxes.

I have received in my mailbox the message below. The CEO of a French public
hospital would sue one of his Doctor for libel against his institution.
The point is that both the Doctor And the hospital CEO have the same
ultimate goal: to protect the Public Health Service.
They should, in my opinion , try to find a common ground. Filing a lawsuit
or attacking a public hospital in the media are not part of the solution but instead
are parts of the problem.
Below the message tha I have received:

Objet : le Dr Marescaux poursuivi par son hôpital car il se bat pour la qualité des soins!
Chers tous
C’est est un brillant neurologue (voir PUBMED
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=marescaux+c)
Il s’inquiète du manque de moyens pour ses malades avec un AVC!
Son hôpital le poursuit en justice!
Ni le conseil de l’ordre des médecins, ni la Haute Autorité de Santé qui doivent pourtant être concernés, ne semblent agir.
Voici un lien avec son histoire dans Rue89

S’il vous plaît aidez : a) faites suivre; b) laissez une réponse en ligne pour montrer votre soutien; c) ou écrivez lui lui à xxxxxxxx.com … etc …
Il y a même une pétition http://www.petitions24.net/sauvetage_filiere_avc_aux_hopitaux_universitaires_de_strasbourg
Merci d’avance

Working on databases we should always be aware of the possibility of a re-identification attack on the data we release in our publications. Such possibilities are in fact very rare because we aggregate all our data in the articles we submit to publishers. Nevertheless the odds that our data could be re-identified are to be known. Mathematicians have brilliantly addressed the issue in the article referenced below:
Title: A Game Theoretic Framework for Analyzing Re-Identification Risk
Authors: Zhiyu Wan, Yevgeniy Vorobeychik, Weiyi Xia, Ellen Wright Clayton, Murat Kantarcioglu, Ranjit Ganta, Raymond Heatherly, Bradley A. Malin
Clearly the balance has to be found between on one hand the fines paid for the consequences of privacy violation and on the other hand the gain for authors and publishers in terms of respectively grants,notoriety,transparency, and audience for releasing accurate data and practicing data sharing which is what research is heading toward.
