On Saturday, we checked our flashlights, loaded up on food, filled the bathtub, and hoped for the best. We were extremely lucky. The hurricane didn’t affect us much — we didn’t even lose power. And I’m very, very grateful for that. The hurricane was a good reminder about gratitude. For one thing, it reminded me that I have so much to be grateful for that it seems a bit preposterous that I need to remind myself to be grateful — but I do. When life is taking its ordinary course, it’s so easy to take everyday life for granted. Also, the hurricane made me much more mindful of how much I love my apartment and my city, and how safe and secure I generally feel. It’s a sad foible of human nature that ...

One reason: this obsession has reminded me about the nature of learning. I’ve been struck by how much I’ve learned in the last few weeks. I went from knowing almost nothing about the scent of smell to knowing… well, quite a bit more. And without any effort, any drilling, any assignments on my part. Quite the contrary. I’m gulping down books, jumping around websites, eager to learn more, more, more. The same thing happened when I was working on my Churchill biography. In college, I’d taken classes that covered World War II, and I had to force myself to do the reading, and I struggled to memorize the facts. But through the l...

Is the GOP establishment letting itinerant celebrities and talk show stars set the party’s agenda? As Winston Churchill understood, democracy is messy (and, as in his case, sometimes ungrateful).  Glenn Beck is no William F. Buckley Jr.  But then, “Joe the Plumber” probably never read National Review, which like most other journals of “high opinion” was never self-sustaining.  Liberals today, their noses in the air Obama style, look across America from the vantage of the famous New Yorker cover and see pitchfork brigades, forgetting that those who fill the brigades generally love America, which is more than can be said of some of the baggage tha...

I love to nap. I tell people I live to nap. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a nurse and learned to sleep at odd times of day or if that’s just the way I am, but I try to squeeze in a nap - even a five minute one - every day. Humans seem to fight it, as if napping is a sign of weakness. Heck, we also seem to have competitions with each other to see who has had the least amount of sleep and is the most tired. Animals must be smarter. They nap a lot - some more than others. They likely know something we don’t. Lots of research over the recent years have pointed to the benefits of napping. I know a lot of people say that they can’t nap because they fall into too deep a sleep and that is a problem. But if you’re able to take the lig...

The blog AEQUANIMITAS has come to an end. Overcome with shock and surprise you gasp: “What is this - blogicide?… But what about all the ‘Problems in Toxicology’ you promised?… The thousands of other Osler quotations you still have to somehow contrive to fit into blog posts?…  The various historical interludes and philosophical musings you still have hidden up your sleeves?… The clinical anecdotes and lessons learned that you, at least, seem to find amusing, interesting, or noteworthy?…” ‘The Death of Socrates’ - suicide by hemlock - a somewhat greater loss to humanity… Not to worry - that was just the bad news. “And the good news?” you ask. I’m joining (We...

If you look at the date of this post…and the date of my last one, I think the reason will be obvious. Podfading, or postfading, or whatever you choose to call it, are very real issues for medpros. In MEDicine, the tendency is to be hyper diligent, and as a PROfessional, you want your output to be polished, and assume that your audience expects the same. Add that all up, and you can get some pretty long gaps between your posts. And your show can disappear entirely, if you’re not careful. Rambo Was Right Jason — and the relatively large number of people who commented on his post — touched on a perennial danger for both bloggers and podcasters. Being your own worst nightmare when...
