I Can Hear You …
I think I’ve discovered what elderly patients feel like when everyone thinks that they’re too senile to understand the conversations around them and just talk about them as if they aren’t there. Like this …
In one emergency department, the nurses regularly talk about me in loud voices as if I’m either deaf or unable to comprehend.
Nurse 1 [to the ceiling]: This patient’s been ready to go for 6 milliseconds. Where are the discharge papers?
Nurse 2 [loudly, standing 3 feet behind me]: I don’t know. He’s still charting on the patient. I’m not sure why he can’t just...

Where do you get your ideas from? Part 3
Alan and I do like a do. We like the planning and the dressing up and the meeting old friends and talking to new people.
And I always bring the placecards home.
And they always make me think:
Who wrote these? Did they also buy the cards? Did someone make the decision to handwrite rather than print the names and, if so, why?
Was writing these cards a delight, or a chore? Was the person who wrote them coming to the event too? Did s/he know the people whose names s/he was writing? Did the person practice their handwriting before they began? Or were they chosen to do the job because of their handwriting? If they were, how did...

The Beach
We are back from the beach! The kids had fun, I had fun, the rest of the family had fun...
My big mistake? Putting sunscreen on the kids while they were wearing their cochlear implants! When they took them off, I didn't think to put it on behind their ears and BOY DID THEY BURN!! Gman isn't even able to wear one of his, it's that bad. Yes we have ways of attaching them to the shirt collar but at home, they are happy with or without. (Source: Cochlear Kids)

Danger of Safety Deafness to Pharma DTC Ads
Pharma ads are a relatively “new” phenomenon. In the late 1990s, the FDA allowed pharma companies to advertise directly to consumers (DTC). These DTC campaigns were reviled by physicians who believe that the ads would create pressure on them from the patients and disrupt that physician patient relationship. Pharma companies do not have “free speech” [...] (Source: NAKEDMEDICINE.COM)

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 13th 2013
In this study we used the hMTH1-Tg mouse model to investigate how oxidative damage to nucleic acids affects aging. hMTH1-Tg mice express high levels of the hMTH1 hydrolase that degrades 8-oxodGTP and 8-oxoGTP and excludes 8-oxoguanine from both DNA and RNA. Compared to wild-type animals, hMTH1-overexpressing mice have significantly lower steady-state levels of 8-oxoguanine in both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of several organs, including the brain. hMTH1 overexpression prevents the age-dependent accumulation of DNA 8-oxoguanine that occurs in wild-type mice.
These lower levels of oxidized guanines are associated with in...

The Present State of Artificial Retinas
Retinal implants that can provide a crude substitute for vision in some forms of blindness are a work in progress at this time, but the path ahead seems fairly clear:
Some people with artificial retinas can read large letters, see slow-moving cars, or identify tableware. Other patients experience no benefit. The variation can be ascribed in some cases to the exact placement of the neuron-stimulating array in the tissue-paper-thin retina as well as the state of the remaining neurons and pathways in each individual's eye. How well people can learn to use the device and retrain their brain is also important. At its best, the...

How ADA-for-the-Web Regulations Menace Online Freedom
Walter Olson
Were I asked to pick the most significant developing story about federal regulation that the press has not really caught onto yet, I might nominate the Obama administration’s apparent intent to publish new interpretations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requiring that website operators make their sites “accessible” to users who are blind, deaf, intellectually disabled, or lacking in motor skills, to name but a few categories. While disabled advocates have been pursuing such interpretations of the ADA for more than a decade, several adverse federal court decisions greatly slowed down their m...

Flying Pigs on National Public Radio: Promoting the wrong theory of language and understanding
NPR aired an interview recently with Benjamin Bergen, UCSD cognitive scientist, discussing an embodied view of word meaning. The basic idea is nothing new by now: we understand words by "simulating" our physical experiences that have become associated with those words. Here's a quote taken from the NPR transcript of the interview:
If someone read a sentence like, "the shortstop threw the ball to first base," parts of the brain dedicated to vision and movement would light up, Bergen says. "The question was, why?" he says. "They're just listening to language. Why would they be preparing to act? Why would they b...

2-Midnight Rule: Medicare's New 2013 Inpatient Hospital Payment Policy Explained (CMS 1599-P).
Hospitalists have risen to the challenge of only providing medically reasonable and necessary inpatient hospital care under the rules of three-midnight medicine. They have refused to delay patient discharges just so patients could enjoy high quality care in the nursing home of their choice that is paid for by our Medicare National Bank. They are willing to accept discharge to home and face the music of bad patient satisfaction survey scores filled out by angry family members who are upset their hospitalist wouldn't commit Medicare fraud to get grandma to a Medicare paid nursing home for the next...

Almost High School
I've made it through IEPs for next year without tears. I begged and pleaded with the faculty to fail my sixth grader so he doesn't have to go over to that high school building next year, but they refused! For the next three years, I will have children in two different school buildings, several miles apart which will be a challenge but we'll survive I'm confident.
Gman will have classroom notes provided to him since he relies heavily on speech reading. He did great with AVT (Auditory Verbal Therapy) when he was younger but with several replacement/revision surgeries on his implants, he relies on speech reading to help him ...

Why You Need To Blow Off Your Critics and Blaze your Own Trail
You decided to grab the bull by the horns and try something new something unique something significant that not just anyone can do.
It's hard enough to motivate yourself to take the leap and put yourself out there for the world to see. And then just when you're feeling the momentum swing in your favor.
Some energy vampire comes along and whacks you over the head with a big, ugly dose of negativity. It creates doubt, crushes your spirit, and extinguishes your burning desire to fight the good fight.
Deep down you know that you shouldn't listen. But all the doubt that you bravely shook off when you started down your path c...

ADHD & Depression: Distraction As Therapy
I have the comorbid conditions of ADHD and Depression. And may I say that I despise the word "comorbid". What a gruesome, ghoulish word to hang around people's necks. Leave it to psychologists to come up with terminology that depresses depressives. Because "coinciding" and "overlapping" weren't descriptive enough.
But I digress…which is the point of this quick post after all.
I have often found my ADHD to be very helpful in treating my Depression. This is because sometimes I can forget I am depressed if the distraction is engrossing enough. In fact, when I discover that I am depressed, I will seek out distractions as ...

In 2004, I made my first important decision as an Alzheimer's caregiver, I decided to take my mother into the gym and work her out.
So at the age of 88 my mother, Dotty, went into the gym for the first time in her life.
She didn't go willingly. In fact she repeatedly said, "No I won't go", cursed at me for taking her, and seemed almost zombie like on the way into the gym.

Goldenhar Boy
So I was lying on the O.R. table (it was actually more like a doctor's office-I had no anesthesia) trying to think of anything to say to drown out that LOUD snipping as the surgeon removed skin and tissue deep within my foot (another skin cancer). I blurted out (in a voice that was a little too loud for the awkward quiet) "So where did my other doctor go?" Realizing instantly my voice was off key and too loud I tried to retract some composure as my blood pressure soared with every SNIP, SNIP, SNIP!!!! "I mean, Dr. C? She's not here anymore right?
