But we don’t always get to hear about the younger athletes, the ones who are up-and-coming Olympians or World Champions. During the US Open last month, I spotted a young girl named Elizabeth [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2871942 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:56:29 +0100 2871942 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2342061&cid=t_155584_167_f&fid=36989&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FNutritionData%2F%7E3%2FeNPpARNWpVw%2Fwith-four-weeks.html We've reached the half-way point of our eight-week Heart Health Champion event!  Over the last four weeks Vanessa Bush has been diligently tracking her diet and transforming her nutritional profile, one habit at a time! A busy working mom, Vanessa is up against the sort of challenges and habits that keep many people from attaining their health goals: no time to exercise, lots of meals on the run, and a weakness for comfort foods. Nonetheless, having confronted the nutritional realities, and bolstered by the tips and support from the NutritionData community, Vanessa is "more determined than ever" to improve her diet and reduce her heart disease risk factors. Despite the speed-bumps thrown into her path by a bad cold, a family vacation, and holiday festivities, she's made s...

Sometimes it takes more than one wake -up call.  At the young age of 39, Patrick Pete had already been diagnosed with diabetes, had surgery to place a stent in one of his arteries, and was being treated for high cholesterol. Then he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As he was recovering from cancer surgery, Patrick had an “A-ha” moment. “I realized that the way things were going, I probably didn’t have a very long lifespan in front of me.  I figured I could either get depressed, or take action. I decided to take action. I started exercising and, for the first time in my life, I started really paying attention to my diet.  "Nutrition Data helped me take control. I starte...

If the old Corinthian was part of this match the result would be already defined. From the ESPN live commentary: How fitting perhaps that the Champions League final between two English sides should end in a pathetic bout of chest-bumping and disrespect. It’s been a big issue all year in England and now it’s two best sides have betrayed the Premier League with their self-indulgent griping and petulance. Crazy.

From the management side, not the physicians.’ Dr. Cephus Allin’s presentation today, which referenced the late Soviet dictator, was titled How To Go From Paper To An EMR. It totally rocked; I wish I’d attended his other session, Why Everyone Needs An EMR. But that’s what happens when you have awesome content hidden behind modest titles. Major take home points: shunt work more efficiently away from physicians onto support staff when possible less MD time/task = more patients scheduled/day abstracting the chart is much more important than scanning it limit the abstracting to absolutely necessary items (like problem list w/ICD-9’s, allergies,...

Isn’t it wonderful? Medical e-Books predates the specific definition of Medicine 2.0. Now it seems, it was after all, its first intuition and one of its great tools. I’ve been using e-books since before I knew its name. I was not crazed up about it, just thankful for its practicality in my life back when I was a medical student and when PDAs were first introduced. It miraculously compressed shelves and shelves of books in my pocket. It became a security blanket to have... the story of healing blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=793948 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 08:23:32 +0100 793948
