In the era of doctors' notes being visible to patients (which I support!), we need to talk about: * "chief complaint" [boilerplate language that already sounds too churlish] * "SOB" {Shortness Of Breath!] * "senile purpura" * "occult" * the doublespeak of positive/negative

Decade After SCOTUS Gene Patents Ruling, Precision Medicine and Test Innovation Impact Under Debate

While some say that striking down gene patents opened up the genetic testing market and patient access, others see greater uncertainty about patent rights and reduced investment.
