I found the tips by Frederic J.Vagnini, M.D., and Lawrence D. Chilnick, authors of “The Weight Loss Plan for Beating Diabetes” to be excellent guidelines for everyone who is sugar sensitive, and I’m putting most depressives into that camp (sorry about that). Here they are: During the holiday season many dedicated dieters or those who follow special diets for diabetes, heart disease or other conditions not only “fall off the wagon” but also leap into the deep end of the pool. Don’t feel guilty. This is a normal reaction to attending large family dinners where everyone makes food loaded with seductive carbohydrates. We also go to multiple parties — sometimes on the same day — where the hosts have hir...

At our house, it was the celebration of Pie-a-palooza that did us in. (Is there such a thing as too much pie?!) So you’re sitting there thinking, “Gosh, I’m full. I must’ve gained 10 pounds over the holidays. Why did I eat so much?” The dark specter of guilt raises it’s ugly head… What can you do?! Weightless blogger Margarita Tartakovsky has six suggestions on how to make it stop: 1. Accept your feelings and move on. OK, acknowledge that you feel guilty and realize that this is just another feeling. But like other feelings, it will go away. 2. Tell yourself you’ll go back to eating healthfully. N...

It got me thinking: Is there a role for paternalism in the provider-patient relationship?  Is there ever a time when someone should just be cared for without having to double and triple check his doctor? Perhaps.  I remember when my wife and I went through fertility treatment.  We did our homework up front, triple checked our network of contacts, chose a doctor, made an initial appointment (‘interview’) and then decided that this was our doc.  At this point we...

But from the provider perspective it’s easy to view the infosphere with cynicism.  Much of what patients read comes from unreliable sources.  So what’s a provider to do?  Perhaps doctors could ‘prescribe’ web resources for their patients much like they prescribe medication.  R...

LBF has a voice that makes other voices weep into their pints with envy, and she and Jim harmonise well. Now, it should be known that my taste runs to the eclectic, at best, and i have no musical talent at all; so all of my comments should be taken within that context.They should not, in case any Antipodeans are reading, be considered as attempts at "coaching".Their harmony sounds very natural; it sounds so natural that I imagine it is either genuinely natural, or the product of much hard work.Anyway, they hugely kicked ass, and LBF actually silenced the pub with some a capella...

I’m also a compulsive delicious tagger, so I quickly discovered the existing practice for geotagging delicious bookmarks. Essentially, this seems to be: add the tag ‘geotagged‘, along with the tags ‘geo:lat=X.xxx‘ and ‘geo:lon=X.xxx‘, where the X.xxx’s are the latitude and longtitude numbers that are likely to come straight out of your GPS, in decimal degrees (WGS84). This is all very nice, but the problem with tags in this format is that there is no easy or efficient way to use them to retrieve all items tagged for a particular locality. Sure, if I’m standi...

I had failed to take into account how this would impact my feed’s presence on the Autism Hub’s own feed.  Apparently,  because the Hub feed is set up as an aggregator and not RSS a simple link to the site I bookmarked - in... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1908770 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 04:09:23 +0100 1908770 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1971066&cid=t_121634_125_f&fid=38161&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fdentalheroes%2F%7E3%2F342125062%2F Over the past several months the Dental Heroes blog has enjoyed significant growth and popularity within the dental community. It was not too long ago that Dental Heroes was a small side project of mine - slowly dying due to neglect. However, a burst of inspiration revived Dental Heroes, and turned what was a passing thought into a vision for the future. As readership has grown over the past several months, I’ve discovered that a significant number of visitors are interested in engaging with Dental Heroes on a regular basis, but simply aren’t aware of all the ways they can do this. Hopefully, this post will help those of you who would like to contribute to the Dental Heroes Community, but just don’t know how.

Now I find being able to spend some personal quiet time in a coffee shop with my favorite cup of cappuccino and write down my thoughts on my old-fashioned notebook delicious. This photo was taken while doing so at the Starbucks coffee shop located on the top level of TriNoma Mall. While nowadays it is far from quiet because a lot of people come to this place, I still value the rare times that I can do this, given the tight schedule between work and studying.

The departure of Left Brain/Right Brain still feels very strange to me, but the reasons that led Kevin Leitch to close his blog—the bizarrely cruel, and crude, attacks on Kevin’s daughter Megan by another blogger, John Best—mean that it is all the more important for us to carry on and keep at it.
