Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:12:40 GMT

Getting in to see a doctor this flu season may prove difficult as Mass General Brigham, the state’s largest healthcare system, now says its two Boston hospitals do not have enough primary care doctors at some locations. Mass General Brigham shared a statement Wednesday regarding the situation, announcing it is limiting new patients while it experiences “historic and unrelenting capacity challenges.” David Martin, CEO of the Massachusetts Health Council, separately spoke to 7NEWS.“Primary care is always one of the more challenging practice areas,” he said. The Massachusetts Health Council is a health advocacy organization. Speaking on Wednesday, Martin said doctors are complaining about doing more data entry and having less patient interaction. “From the physician’s angle, it’s a barrier between them and a patient,” he said. “And it really impacts their ability to see the patient, be present with the patient and it also just adds to their administration tasks.” Wi...

Well, let’s not waste any time…let us do this!Before we move forward, let’s take a quick recap of last….winter?? I mean, yes, we technically had winter, but it was like living on easy street (or Nightmare On Elm Street depending on your point of view) with the incredible lack of snow and warm temps.It was 4th Least Snowiest winter and the 5th warmest winter for Boston. Can that happen all over again? Doubtful, as I think we’ll see more snow than last winter and have a little more cold air to experience than last winter as well. In a nutshell, here is what I am expecting:Let’s look into the players for the upcoming winter.ENSOFor starters, I like to look at the state of Equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures and more directly, their anomalies (warmer or col...

By KATE BRUMBACK (Associated Press)ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia prosecutor pursuing a case against former President Donald Trump and others on Wednesday asked a judge to revoke the bond of defendant Harrison Floyd, saying he has been intimidating witnesses and codefendants in the case.Floyd, Trump and 17 others were indicted in August by a Fulton County grand jury in August, accused of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Four defendants have pleaded guilty after reaching a deal with prosecutors and the rest have pleaded not guilty.The charges against Floyd stem from allegations of harassment of Ruby Freeman, a Fulton County election worker who had been falsely accused of election fraud by Trump and his supporters. Floyd took part in a Jan. 4, 2021, conversation in which Freeman was told she “needed protection” and was pressured to make false statements about election fraud, the indictment says.Prosecutors ...

CONCORD, N.H. — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a leader of one of New Hampshire’s teachers’ unions to stop public dollars from being spent to fund private schools through the Education Freedom Account program, saying she has not shown that it violates the state constitution.The lawsuit was filed in Merrimack County Superior Court last year. It sought an injunction to stop the voucher-like program.Deb Howes, president of the American Federation of Teachers New Hampshire, had said the program runs afoul of the constitution because money from the state’s education trust fund is specifically set aside for public education and cannot be used for private purposes.The state had moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Howes failed to make a claim that the program was illegal or unconstitutional.A judge ruled Monday that Howes failed to allege facts supporting her claims. The judge also ruled that Howes’ challenge to the state’s use of education trust ...
