Vitamin D is a nutrient every human needs on a daily basis to maintain healthy bones. Although we have plenty of sources of vitamin D, it cannot equalize the benefits we get from the rising sun every day. However, the winters are the hardest. It becomes difficult to see the shade of sunlight during winter as we learn that winter sunlight does not have enough UVB components for sourcing vitamin D. Can that be an excuse for having insufficient vitamin D? No. We got you covered.

Despite growing evidence of the harm caused by medical debt, hundreds of U.S. hospitals maintain policies to aggressively pursue patients for unpaid bills, using tactics such as lawsuits, selling patient accounts to debt buyers, and reporting patients to credit rating agencies, a KHN investigation shows.

The collection practices are commonplace among all types of hospitals in all regions of the country, including public university systems, leading academic institutions, small community hospitals, for-profit chains, and nonprofit Catholic systems.

Individual hospital systems have come under scrutiny in recent years for suing patients. But the KHN analysis shows the practice is widespread, suggesting most of the nation’s approximately 5,100 hospitals serving the general public have policies to use legal action or other aggressive tactics against patients.

And although industry officials say they are careful about how they target patients for unpaid bills, few institutions have renounced what federal rules call

CT and MRI are essential imaging techniques in today’s world. We rely heavily on reports from the CT and MRI scan for a detailed picture of the inside.

MRI uses a magnetic field to picture the desired body part or organ. For the same purpose, a CT scan uses an x-ray.

Both investigations are detailed, non-invasive, and sensitive; however, each choice varies depending on the condition to be diagnosed.

What is an MRI? 

MRI is also known as the Magnetic resonance imaging technique. It uses radio waves produced by large magnets to create pictures of the inside of the body. The waves penetrate the body and are reflected off the tissues depending on the tissue densities. The reflected waves create a picture of the organ.

It is done with the help of a large machine. The machine has a tunnel-like structure and a bed that slides into it. The large

As if we do not already have enough to worry about with COVID-19 making a comeback, flu season is at its ferocious start. The severity of the flu season from 2020 to 2021 was among the lowest ever, thanks to people’s efforts to prevent COVID-19, such as mask use and social distancing.
