Doctor: Hidden medical school agenda' puts efficiency over patients. UPI/Mike Theiler

NEW YORK, June 28 (UPI) -- A U.S. doctor says a "hidden medical school curriculum" teaches hierarchies, values efficiency over patients and cultivates a doctor-patient communication sham.
Dr. Danielle Ofri, who has practiced medicine at New York City's Bellevue Hospital for the last two decades is the author of the "What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine." She says the medical world offers daily challenges to doctors' empathy.
Ofri said medical students lose empathy in their clinical years as they try to deliver medical care in a world of increasing paperwork and sleep deprivation, and it often sends doctors into the field jaded and embittered.
However, compassion can be hard to summon, when patients are hostile or manipulative, entitled or arrogant or have illnesses that appear to be self-induced, such as drug and alcohol addictions or morbid obesity, Ofri said.
Culture, class and language barriers, can also work against doctors staying in touch with their patients' suffering. Asian patients tend to keep up a stoic front, Ofri noted, meaning doctors stop "seeing" their pain, while Hispanic patients are known for being very vocal about their symptoms, so doctors might quickly stop listening.
There has been a steady stream of research into how doctors think -- disillusionment with the realities of being a doctor, frustration because some patients cannot be helped or resentment toward those who will not help themselves, Ofri said. Yet little attention has been focused on how they process emotions -- and how those emotions affect the quality of medical care they provide, the doctor said
"Doctors who are angry, nervous, jealous, burned out, terrified or ashamed can usually still treat bronchitis or ankle sprains competently," Ofri said in a statement.
"Problems arise when clinical situations are convoluted, unyielding, or overlaid with unexpected complications, medical errors, or psychological components. This is where factors other than clinical competency come into play."

Statue of Liberty National Museum
Restorations to Superstorm Sandy-racked Liberty Island are scheduled to be mostly completed in time for the statue's July 4 reopening.
The huddles masses of New York tourists yearning to breathe free can take a sigh of relief the Statue of Liberty reopens on Independence Day.
The tempest-tossed icon had been closed since Hurricane Sandy clobbered Liberty Island on Oct. 29.
On July 4, when I am once again greeted by my amazing staff, and those first visitors step off the ferry onto Liberty Island, any residual pain will disappear, said National Park Service Superintendent David Luchsinger, reflecting on the myriad challenges he faced in getting the historic destination reopened.
Docks, buildings, walkways and security screening facilities were destroyed by the storm. The islands infrastructure electrical, heating and sewage was wrecked.
The ongoing repairs cost $59 million.
Remarkably, Lady Liberty as strong as the day she was dedicated, Oct. 28, 1886 emerged unscathed.
And now shell be surrounded by a new perimeter walkway, repaired or replaced railings and filled-in seawalls. New docks are also in the process of being replaced.
Security screenings at Battery Park of visitors boarding the ferry bound for the island will now go much faster, Luchsinger said. The issue of ferry security was resolved last month following a protracted dispute between the NYPD and the National Park Service.

Although the New York Liberty still haven't solved their turnover problems, it didn't matter against the Seattle Storm.
New York overcame 22 turnovers as Cappie Pondexter scored 23 points to help the Liberty beat the Storm 67-62 Friday night for their first road win of the season.
''That's the most frustrating thing as a coach to ever go through to see the players just turn the ball over and many of them were just ridiculous turnovers,'' New York coach Bill Laimbeer said. ''But our defense again is carrying us at the moment and, hopefully, it doesn't catch up to us at some point.''
New York, which had 17 turnovers in an 87-74 loss at Chicago on Wednesday, entered the game averaging a league-worst 19.5 per game.
Kara Braxton added a career-high 14 rebounds and eight points for the Liberty (5-4), who were 0-3 on the road. New York also snapped an eight-game losing streak at Seattle, with its first road win against the Storm since 2002.
The Liberty used defense and their height to outrebound Seattle 46-26.
''They're not very big,'' Laimbeer said. ''That's going to be their problem all year long is rebounding. We knew that going in that we could dominate the glass if we put our mind to it.''
Temeka Johnson had a season-high 22 points to lead Seattle (4-5), which shot just 1 for 18 on 3-pointers and lost its second straight. Camille Little added 12 points and Tanisha Wright had 10.

LIBERTY CENTER, Ohio The spirit of Liberty flaps red, white, and blue from flagpoles in this Henry County community where the personality of people and places proudly proclaims, Hometown America.
There is everything you need right here in Liberty, long-time village resident Louisa Strock said.
Cut your finger fixing farm equipment? Theres a doctor in town. Chip a tooth? Theres a dentist. Check out books at the library. Order a pizza. Cash checks at a bank. Consult with an attorney. Get gas and groceries at local stores. Get religion. A sign at a local church proclaims it is prayer conditioned. Grain moves at the local elevator near the restored Wabash Depot, a community project that has taken blood, sweat, and years.
At 97, Mrs. Strock is a striking example of the spirit of Liberty. Her energy, enthusiasm, and extensive recollections of village life can make your head spin and your heart sing. She talks about her childhood fascination with the clattering key of the depot telegraph. Of her excitement while awaiting arrival of her new baby doll via a train from Toledo. Of her beloved Papa, John S. Mires, editor and publisher of the Liberty Press for nearly 45 years.
Today, the restored depot on Wabash Street will be a focal point during Liberty Centers Founders Day. It would take 150 candles to mark the towns birthday. But never mind a cake. An old-fashioned, Hi neighbor ice cream social, topped off with a sing-a-long, will be the celebrations centerpiece, beginning at 5 p.m. Activities on tap include walking tours of the historic town and live entertainment.
That Liberty Center, population about 1,000, has not only survived but thrived pays tribute to what Mrs. Strock calls determination, perseverance, cooperation, and leadership.
Roger Fisher, 65, who grew up in the village and lived in big cities for years, retired and returned to Liberty.
Ive lived all over and I knew when I retired, I would go back to Liberty. For me, its home, said Mr. Fisher, planner-coordinator for sesquicentennial activities, including monthly summer salutes to the village.

We downgrade our recommendation on Liberty Media Corp. (LMCA) to Underperform primarily based on its current valuation. Liberty Media currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Why the Downgrade?
The stock price of Liberty Media has soared nearly 26% in the last year. At present, Liberty Media is trading at extremely high multiples compared to both the S&P 500 and the industry average with respect to several valuation metrics. We believe that the stock is overvalued at this stage and the multiples must converge toward its peer average.
Nevertheless, the company reported excellent financial results for the first quarter of 2013, easily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Liberty Mediais gradually restructuring its business model, targeting to control the subscription-based companies.
Currently, Liberty Media controls a 50.2% stake of SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (SIRI), a 27.3% stake of Charter Communications Inc. (CHTR) and a 27% stake of Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (LYV).
Moreover, management is pursuing a systematic share buy-back program to boost shareholders wealth. The spin-off of the Starz segment as a separate entity has helped the company to improve its financial position.
On the other hand, Liberty Medias businesses are susceptible to rapid technological changes. Large cable TV operators are increasingly deploying digital TV networks, which are rapidly gaining huge market traction. This may adversely impact the channel positioning of Liberty Medias networks.
Increasing deployment of personal video recorders, video-on-demand technology and IPTV network are systematically changing the distribution and viewing habits of the common people. Further, the multi-channel video market in the U.S. is almost saturated.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Menino, MassachusettsSecretaryof Housing and Economic Development GregoryBialecki and other state and city elected officials, neighborhood representatives and members of the construction trades at a ribbon cutting ceremony at the companys new 22-story, 590,000 square-foot office building at 157 Berkeley Street in Boston today.

The building will help accommodate more than 600 new, full-time Liberty Mutual Insurance employees at the expanded Boston offices. Over the next 20 years, the building will generate more than $70 million in new real estate tax revenue for the City of Boston.
We are excited to celebrate our growth and investment in the economic future of the city we have been proud to call home for more than 100 years, said Liberty Mutuals Mr. Long. We are grateful for the support of Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick and their staffs, who helped make this project possible.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino said: "When we created this partnership with Liberty Mutual it was a crucial time in Boston's economic history. Liberty Mutual's new $300 million building was a catalyst for the city's resurgence from the Great Recession, putting 500 construction workers back on the job, and giving hope with the creation of 600 new permanent jobs for a robust future."
Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki said: "Liberty Mutual is an anchor of the Commonwealth's financial services industry, one of the cornerstones of our economy. This project has not only created jobs and new revenue, it has helped keep and expand one of our core companies here in Massachusetts."
The building, designed to be 20 percent more energy efficient than a typical large modern office building, features energy efficient fixtures, groundwater recharge tanks and a green roof that maintains the indoor temperature through improved insulation.
CBT/Childs Bertman Tseckares of Boston designed the building, Colliers International served as the project development manager and Turner Construction Company managed the construction.

The Liberty led 52-45 early in the fourth quarter before Seattle pulled to 60-58 with 1:02 left. However, Pondexter made an outside shot and the Liberty held on for the win.
''It was an ugly game, but a much-needed win for us, especially on this long West Coast road trip,'' said Pondexter, who came into the game averaging a team-high 17 points per game, including an average of 20 in her last three contests. ''This was one of those games we thought we could steal.''

DOMA decision: Kass struggles from Christian, Libertarian perspectives - Video
With the first three home in Epsoms Investec Derby all lining up again, it is a chance to get a second look at the Classic generation, this time on a galloping track that focuses on stamina rather more than agility and precocity.
Epsom winner Ruler Of The Worlds relative inexperience was outweighed by the brilliant ride he received that day from Ryan Moore, but the Irish Derby winner is likely to be the colt who has done best since that last run on June 1 and has come on again.
It is amazing what a difference four weeks in the middle of summer can make to a high-class three-year-old, and Ruler Of The World may have progressed as much or even more than either Libertarian or Galileo Rock, which would give him an excellent chance of becoming the 17th horse to complete the Anglo-Irish Derby double.
But Libertarian could well be the one in the field who is most suited by the Curragh.
He was all at sea on the adverse camber at Epsom, yet he flew late to snatch second place on the line, just 1 lengths behind Ruler Of The World.
On a track which is much more likely to suit his galloping style, the New Approach colt should be in his element and I select him to beat Ruler Of The World.
Sugar Boy, the winner of the Sandown Classic Trial in April, has solid place claims, though the tough Trading Leather might give him a run for third spot.
Excerpt from:
Derby runner-up Libertarian to get revenge over Ruler Of The World in Irish Derby at the Curragh
