Aeon Magazine has a fascinating article on a town in Belgium that has a long history of taking in people from out of town who have psychiatric or learning disabilities. Apparently, the improvement in their quality of life and function has been a source of interest in the European psychiatric community since the 19th Century.
Scientific American has an excellent examination of the high cost of medications (hint: difficult science is expensive).
The New York Times carries an interesting story of what happens when doctors "Google" their patients. The author claims just about every doctor does this: I confess the thought had never crossed my mind.
