By Anya Martin DECATUR, Ga. (MarketWatch) -- Each year as the April 15 tax deadline nears, Shane Snowden is reminded how much more she pays for health coverage for her same-sex partner than her heterosexual colleagues pay for their spouses' benefits. While exchanging vows doesn't guarantee access to health insurance, marriage makes having it both more likely and less expensive -- if your spouse is of the opposite sex. Even in states where same-sex marriages are legal, employers may exclude partners from coverage. When they do provide benefits, federal tax laws mean that workers spend more to insure their same-sex domestic partner and children than their heterosexual counterparts do. Dr. Russell Kridel was mentioned in marketwatch.com for his opinion on health disparities in same-sex partnerships. Dr. Kridel is a member of the AMA Council on Science and Public Health which issues reports on important health topics. Click here for more information
From the 10th anniversary issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, editor Wayne Larrabee Jr, MD: “Long-term Use and Follow-up of Irradiated Cartilage Grafts in the Nose epitomizes the meticulous clinical observation that we all should strive to achieve in our practices. Russell W. H. Kridel, MD and colleagues performed a meticulous study of 357 patients with a 24-year follow up. This study by Kridel et al is important not only for the standard it sets in careful clinical evaluation, but also for the importance of the subject. Their results will cause many to reevaluate the role of irradiated cartilage in their practices.”

Everything I read about human growth hormone, I read about it and I am thinking why is this not sold at CVS over-the-counter right next to the lip balm?

Kridel, member of the Council of the American Medical Association Council of Science and Public Health answers these questions and discusses the pros and cons of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), Testosterone, steroids, and other anti- aging medicines; possible benefits and risks, and what you can do to stay looking and feeling young.
