The root of their hatred for the profession that does so much for the common citizen is seeded in their jealousy of the wages paid to such highly trained professionals. Along the same lines, they only see pieces of paper (money and prescriptions) coming in and bottles filled with 30 pills each going out. Haters see it as overly simplified. Exoterically, from the outside looking in, it is, but for those of us that spent 6 to 8 years getting a doctorate, we don't agree. Compared to backbreaking labor outside in the hot sun, I can at least understand. I've also had a recent brash of problems with patients being rude/uncaring about ...

Russian Amber shampoo. It is very different…like a rubber cement. It made my hair feel and look nice. It costs $140.00 for a 12 ounce jar. Maybe as low as $95.00 on Amazon. What is in this shampoo that should make it cost so much and do the BRAINS find it so unusual and maybe even worth the high price? The Right Brain responds: This product is new to us, so we turned to Philip B.’s website to learn more. Philip B. good? According to the website the product works five ways: Eleven life-giving L-Amino acids at active strengths repair hair on a cellular level — quickly restoring its body, bounce and shine.

It could hardly be otherwise with my own blog. But addressing folks in healthcare, you’ve got to be a bit careful. IT folks get it, but in healthcare we’re not all individuals, much as we’d like to think otherwise. We are born from a very old profession, and that means being tied like nobody’s business to colleagues, training academies, membership societies, support staff, patients, and public opinion. Say the wrong thing, and you step on some toesies of other bees in the hive. And that’s a problem, when it comes to innovation. So That’s ...

Burk, a 17-year-old Los Angeles girl, was in the Wilshire Place neighborhood picking up paperwork for her mother, who taught at the Southwestern University School of Law. About 3 in the afternoon on a quiet street, Burk was approaching her car when she was confronted by a 50-year-old transient staying in a nearby drug treatment center… Read the rest on AOL: Lily Burk: Sweet 17. and Dead.

The parents of Kaitlyn Bacile—-who, in September, was found drowned in a canal near her home —-think so, as reported in today’s WSVN (Florida): While it’s too late for Kaitlyn, her parents hope some good can come from their tragedy. Jay Bacile: “We want Kaitlyn’s life not to go in vain, at the very minimum we want to raise awareness. We just want her memory to live on and do good because that’s what Kaitlyn was, was pure goodness.

Austin and his father, Elias Large, were to return from a fishing trip on Monday. When they did not, Austin’s mother contacted police. Police say they could be traveling in a white 1999 GMC Sierra extended truck with a large green tool box. The licence plate number is NE7 917. Austin is described as white, 5′5″ tall, and weighing 160 pounds. He has a heavy build, brush cut, light brown hair and blue eyes. The boy and his father were supposed to have spent the weekend fishing on Lake Nipissing but when they did not return home Monday as planned, Austin’s mother called police. “They did not go to the lake,” said Hamilton Police Detective Sergeant Chris Kiriakopoul...

There are some great images of wasps and spiders that could be gleaned from the otherwise opaque amber.

Click the image to see all of Mood Lighting, including this endorsement in teensy words at the bottom: “SAD light is designed for successful creative people who need to not suck.” SAD is affected by variable seasonable levels of sunlight, and other environmental cues. A vanguard considers it to be part of the bipolar spectrum, since it’s cyclical depression and predictably recurrent with the seasons in affected people. I remember an ignorant old skool nurse scoffing at the idea that mood changes with weather (”ridiculous” was her descriptor). She obviously hadn’t read the substantial literature on light therapy (also called phototh...

Rescuers searched for five days before finding him on June 19th. Last week, 11-year-old Justin Menezes of Northampton, PA, was missing for 13 hours before he was found unharmed. Sadly, such reports of autistic children missing seem all too frequent. The August 26th Morning Call asks if an “Amber Alert“—first created in Texas in 1996 after 1996 after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered—should be issued when autistic children are missing? Should there be a “Justin Alert”? Share This (Source: Autism Vox) Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=823044 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:02:39 +0100 823044
