Everyone accepts the Second Splendid Truth, Part A; the Second Splendid Truth, Part B often isn’t as clear to people. But to focus on Part A here — how do you know if you’re making other people happy? What are some signs? Are the following statements true for you: Do people seem to feel comfortable confiding in you? Do people follow your recommendations? Are you a source of material comfort or security for someone else? Do people whom you’ve introduced often go on to have a continuing relationship? Do people seem to drift toward you? Join a conversation that you’re having, sit down next...

If you go to the beach, earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon after 4:00 are the best times to keep you and your family from sunburn.  Remember, you still need sunscreen  but the sun is at its hottest mid-day. Wearing a hat and a lightweight cover-up are 2 excellent ways to prevent sunburn as well. Wearing a hat can prevent sunstroke, when your body cannot manage its temperature.

The FDA says if your medicine has expired, it may not provide the treatment you need. An article on the Harvard Medical School's Family Health Guide website says the expiration dates on drugs are "very conservative." They also cite a study that tested 100 drugs and found 90% of them were "perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date." In this video (from the FDA) FDA pharmacist Ilisa Bernstein explains how expiration dates help determine if medicine is safe to use and will work as intended. She says if your medicine has expired don't use it.

Or that he looks like a furry animal? Dreams are usually a manifestation of lack of sleep and/or stressful situations.  During your pregnancy, you may experience some of these unusual dreams.  Not to worry, though, according to this article  nearly three quarters of all  pregnant women admit to having strange dreams. Because your dreams may be negative does not necessarily mean you’re going to be a bad mom. It just means that perhaps your REM (rapid eye movement) may be disturbed causing these weird dreams.

The Right Brain’s real response: Jill, many people don’t realize this, but some products that you usually consider to be cosmetics are really classified as Over-The-Counter (or OTC) drugs . While that might sound scary, it just means that by definition these products (which include sunscreen, toothpaste, and dandruff shampoo) have an effect on the physiology of the body.

To improve satisfaction scores: 1. Review the patient’s chart before you go in the room. It makes a big difference if the patient perceives you know what’s going on without having to bury your face in a chart. 2. Patients are often confused about who they are supposed to see after discharge. This, of course, is a safety issue as well as one that affects patient satisfaction. 3. Sit down when you are visiting a patient. Patients are happiest when they perceive you’ve spent enough time with them, and they are more likely to perceive this if you are sitting than standing with your hand on the doorknob. (more…) ...

Not only did I miss an opportunity to say thank you, but instead of receiving a thank you card she'll be receiving a fax asking that my medical records be transferred to a doctor right here in my town, just because it is much more convenient. I didn't do this intentionally, and have appreciated the good service received over the years, and suppose it's never too late to say thank you, so I will do just that by sending a greeting card as soon as I finish this post.Site Feed (Source: Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets) Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3429472 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:51:00 +0100 3429472 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3387068&cid=t_136943_167_f&fid=36988&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.happynutritionistsnuggets.com%2F2010%2F03%2Fspring-and-summer-time-for-jersey-shore.html Being from New Jersey, the start of the Shore season is always greatly anticipated as soon as the weather shows signs of warming.  The past few weekdays and this weekend have been a welcome relief after the storm related flooding and challenges I shared last weekend.  We have had a long "tease" of warm and beautiful weather, sunny and up in the 70's. The official start of the shore season is Memorial Day weekend...for some...but for Morey's Piers down in Wildwood, which is almost as far south as you can go in the State of New Jersey, the fun begins Easter weekend, which is only two weekends away!  This is a great place for the whole family, with many events planned for the coming year. There's an excellent spring sale going on right now at Moreys Piers with it's NJ...

The correlation of increased testosterone levels and the recent change in events probably have a lot to do with it. Ultimately I’d like one out of two things to happen. Either I get to know some guys who I can get together on a regular basis, as I hate cruising these internet sites, or I get into some sort of relationship. One guy I reconnected with online.

The Jobbing Doctor gets the inside story from a chance meeting with a colleague:He then told me why the Government were very keen for us to prescribe it to everyone who has a sniffle and a high temperature: you see, most of the stockpiled Tamiflu was for a previous flu scare, and it expires (passes its sell-by date) in the early part of this Autumn (2009) when it effectively and officially becomes useless (as opposed to being pretty useless anyway).The Jobbing Doctor (Source: NHS Blog Doctor) NHS Blog Doctor blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2601988 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:53:00 +0100 2601988 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2398951&cid=t_136943_117_f&fid=34808&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthebeautybrains.com%2F2009%2F05%2F10%2Fexpiration-dates-on-cosmetics%2F Stephanie says…In some products they have a picture of what looks like a cream jar with a number followed by a capital “M”.
