Colleagues,
The national debate on patient rights is heating up
again. Below you will find information on new proposed
legislation. I would urge you to study this issue carefully
and contact your Congressional representatives about the
importance of protecting patient rights.

Building Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem is a constant companion for too many people, especially those who experience depression, anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a disability.

2. AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Protecting the Health and Safety of Working Teenagers
The kids are back in school. "A recent study of high school students found
that working 20 hours or more a week during the school year is
associated with higher levels of emotional distress, more
substance abuse and earlier onset of sexual activity than are
experienced by students working less than 20 hours a week or
not at all."

3. PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH/MANUFACTURERS OF AMERICA
Prescription Drug Patient Assistance Programs
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers
of America (PhRMA) publishes a directory of pharmaceutical
companies that make necessary medicines available to needy
patients. Each program gives information on what medicines are
covered, eligibility criteria, and how to make a request for
assistance.
4. NIOSH
Stress at Work
The concept of job stress is often confused with challenge, but these concepts are not the same. Challenge energizes us psychologically and physically, and it motivates us to learn new skills and master our jobs. When a challenge is met, we feel relaxed and satisfied.
