I also will be the moderator of a panel discussion on patient empowerment. As I prepare, I am interviewing the panelists and their stories are very inspiring. One panelist is Bonnie Addario. Bonnie had been an oil company executive in the Bay Area. She began having chest pain. Was it her heart? No. Was it a nerve problem? No. Doctors were stumped. Bonnie was frustrated, but she was also a woman of action — a “powerful patient.” She went on her own for a full body scan. The news was not good. A lung cancer tumor was wrapped around her aorta and other vessels. It was inoperable. But, fortunately, chemotherapy and radiation shrunk t...

An excerpt: There is a profound change sweeping the world of medicine. Technology is the driver, but it has nothing to do with a new drug, device or procedure. Rather it is about the change in physician behavior and mindset that technology — the Internet more specifically — has unleashed. Today, physicians of all ages and specialties are online, whether via laptop, desktop, or mobile. With physicians’ acceptance of technology has come a new type of openness among a small but growing number. In the past, the only doctors who were likely to air views publicly were medical journalists. But, today, there are p...

They’re teaming up for a challenge with Bonnie Raitt and the Green Music Group to fight disposable plastic bottle use and promote reusable bottles. Sounds good and green, right? But wait. We didn’t even mention the best part: You could win a year’s supply of free ice cream. Just take the pledge from the Plastic Pollution Coalition, and then upload a photo of yourself using your reusable water bottle. The deadline is July 2, 2010, so you’d better go green fast. via Treehugger Post from: BlissTree Bonnie Raitt and Ben & Jerry's Fight Plastic Waste. More Importantly, You Could Win Ice Cream.

My co-participants were distinguished professors in linguistics and education science (Ellyn Arwood and Richard Christen), and [...] (Source: On the Brain by Dr. Michael Merzenich, Ph.D.) On the Brain by Dr. Michael Merzenich, Ph.D. blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3603705 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:27:55 +0100 3603705 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3581581&cid=t_126884_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fdiy-wildlife-pest-control-does-killing-squirrels-count%2F A few weeks ago, I tried to rescue a squirrel. He was trembling, prostrate, sick, and unable to crawl to a handful of carefully placed Diamond premium shelled walnuts. Poor guy. After I called the Humane Society, a specialist armed with gloves and a crate arrived within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes! I only hope 911 works as expeditiously. Soon my squirrel was whisked off to Second Chances, a nearby animal rehab center. Since nothing happens in the wilds of suburbia – and I’m always interested in painting myself in a positive light – I shared my Dr. Doolittle delusions of grandeur far and wide. One neighbor’s suspicious response: “Well, I hope that doesn’t have anything to do with us,” she said, going on to explain how her husband had laid out some poison for the critters ne...

If you’re in town, you can stroll over to Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Last month, the House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce Committees sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office requesting a report on recent trends in prescription drug pricing. The letter also requests that GAO submit a proposal to ensure ongoing monitoring of pricing practices (back story). Today’s witnesses include Stephen Schondelmeyer, a pr...

The TSA and FBI are right: it’s not airport security’s job to look for people like Bonnie Sweeten. But they quickly agree to make it part of their mission when newspapers and Members of Congress start to say they should. This is how a nominal airline security program transmogrifies into a general law enforcement checkpoint, and the noose tightens on your right to travel.

Makes it sound like everyone is a human time bomb, just waiting to get sick. But in actual fact, these bacteria are our protectors, covering us like a suit of armour. That’s just one of the interesting pieces of information you can pick up by listening to this fascinating TED Talk by bacteriologist Bonnie Bassler.

He was 61. Bell, who began playing with Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band in 1970, was diagnosed with cancer one year ago. He received intensive treatment and made a comeback, despite his poor prognosis. This past spring, however, his cancer returned. Bell is also known for his musical work with artists such as Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Joe Walsh, Paul Butterfield, The Cowboy Junkies, Bruce Cockburn, and Bonnie Raitt. His most recent gig was with the Toronto jazz and blue group Pork Bellies Futures. He is survived by his mother, his sister, and his nieces and nephews.Read&nb...
