Chance favors only the prepared mind.” ~ Louis Pasteur A friend of mine recently went through a tough time: a personal crisis. She was scouring for signs of something positive, anything that would offer a ray of hope or light for her situation. She decided to go out for some tea when she encountered a woman, unknown to her, who began chatting about the trials and tribulations of her life. The woman spoke of gratitude for those who had courage, and at the end of what was essentially a monologue the woman said to my friend: “Everybody goes through difficulties. Surround yourse...

The reversal experts of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center answer these common questions by explaining the effect of herpes on tubal reversal success and pregnancy after tubal reversal.

I’d like to highlight some of the panels I need your help with — your vote helps panels make it into the final conference! (Voting is simple, but does require a free registration with the SXSW website.) There is a specific health track this year — the first time in SXSWi’s history. This means that panel topics on health and mental health have a better chance than ever in making it in! I first presented at SXSW on a health topic in 1999, so it’s great to see this dream finally become a reality. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite picks in the SXSW ...

How does ICU Bingo work? It works just like regular bingo. Every nurse receives their own Bingo card with different ICU diagnoses. And every time they take care of one of these conditions, they get to ”x” it out. Fill out a line or any other predetermined design pattern, and you are the ICU Bingo winner, and you win a prize. This is quite similar to my 2010 March Madness Hospitalist Bracket, only in this case the game is Bingo. As you can see, this nurse has already cared for a GI bleed, a homeless man, a drug overdose, chest pain, DKA, alcohol withrawal, subdural hematoma, a prisoner, and someone with super-morbid obesity. That’s ICU medicine for you. *This blog post...

Well, if we assume for a moment that you actually don’t smell or emit some sort of stinky odor, you’re like most people. In this modern world where many don’t think twice about showering each and every day, our bodies often have little chance to work up any kind of odor. However, if you’re amongst a small group of people who think they smell even when they don’t, then you might be suffering from Olfactory Reference Syndrome. Olfactory Reference Syndrome is a “new” syndrome coined by researchers who’ve discovered that amongst people who think they smell bad — even when they don’t — suicidal thinking and behavior is rampant. And it’s no wonder — if you think you smell bad and others are not...

She writes, “I had already tried contacting doctors in my area, however, the answer always was the same – ‘You cannot reverse Essure’, or (my personal favorite), ‘The only way to remove the coils is with a hysterectomy’. When I talked to the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, I knew this was the right place. Contrary to what most people say, my tubes were not short; in fact there were 9 cm on both sides. Thank you, Dr. Berger, for giving us a second chance to have a baby.” (Source: Tubal Reversal Blog) Tubal Reversal Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2834491 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:13:07 +0100 2834491 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2218808&cid=t_181409_88_f&fid=38203&url=http%3A%2F%2Fprecordialthump.medbrains.net%2F2009%2F02%2F25%2Fwhen-doug-met-struan%2F The incomparable Douglas Adams, of “A Hitchhiker’s  Guide to the Galaxy ” fame, needs no introduction. Douglas Adams Struan Sutherland, however, is a name obscure to most of the world, but not the world of venoms and poisons. His magnum opus, “Australian Animal Toxins the creatures, their toxins, and care of the poisoned patient” is a true classic (the second edition had  Jim Tibballs as his coauthor). This was the first book I bought after leaving the venomless shores of New Zealand for Australia’s wildly venomous Northern Territory. Although much of the management advice given in the book is now dated, the descriptions of the animals, their toxins, and the effects they have on their victims offered by this book are invaluable.

The researchers found that while happiness may spread through a person’s social network of friends, neighbors and family (”contagious” may be too strong a word, since the effect is not really like a virus), sadness did not. Using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Index (a standard metric) that study participants completed, the researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next doo...

However, as an agency responsible for ensuring public health, that is the wrong view to have; the relationship need not be adver...

Do you catch yourself caught behind locked doors? 1. There’s not enough time.... Brain based response … You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. To organize time for an entrepreneurial project is to draw daily from your logical mathematical intelligence. Successful entrepreneurs train their brains to stretch time ... and so can you. 2.
