It has been doing it all afternoon. I was almost afraid to drive it all day today.” I was due for work in an hour, but decided to drive over anyway – worried something was bad wrong with mom’s new Civic. Mom had the garage door up and ready for me when I arrived. I immediately knew what the problem was when I pulled up behind mom’s parked car. Her parking lights were on and the buzzing sound was the car telling her she left her lights on when she took her key out. “Don’t tell your father!” mom pleaded with me. “I feel so stupid!

What if the register goes haywire?  lol  I will just hope for the best and do my best.  I think my worst anxiety attacks are in my past these days, even though I want to knock on wood with saying that.  I seem to never know what lurks around the corner for me anxiety-wise.  My greatest hopes last night were to stay up all night and sleep during the day today.  That didn’t work so well.  9:30pm rolled around, two hours after my normal bedtime, and I was so sleepy I could barely stay awake and I hadn’t taken a Ambien...

Saving money on phone bills every month is a major job perk, but what if the texts you send could get you fired? Not so perky. In City of Ontario v. Quon, Jeff Quon, a California police sergeant, claimed that the city had violated his privacy when they audited the texts sent through his company phone. Though the lower courts said that he had a right to privacy in this case, the Supreme Court ruled that police officer’s texts weren’t private. The court made it clear that this ruling doesn’t extend to all cases, but the ruling indicates that companies are likely to have protection of the law when auditing employee communications. In Quon’s case, the city found that out of 456 texts sent on his work phon...

I find it laborious and anxiety inducing, but I got my email set up and running this morning with Windows Live Mail – a free program for download and a good substitute for Outlook and Thunderbird.  One nice thing now about getting my blog comments via email is I can now pick and choose which comments I want to read.  If I see say JustLacey or Pipe Tobacco, then I will click on and read the comment.  They usually have something constructive or positive to say even if they don’t necessarily agree with my methods or my actions.  If I see an anonymous comment, then I won’t click on that tripe to read.  Staying far away.  If someone really wants to start a report with me then they can just sign up for a Google account.  There ...

For those who haven’t read the piece, entitled, What’s Keeping Us So Busy in Primary Care? A Snapshot from One Practice, it’s available free at the NEJM website. I highly recommend it. To summarize, primary care doctors are responsible for much more than seeing patients in the exam room. In the cited practice, which has a fairly typical makeup, physicians were responsible for an average of over 23 telephone calls and 16 e-mails per day. Many practices don’t engage their patients over e-mail, so it’s conceivable that the number of telephone calls is lower than average here. (more…) *This blog...

I *heart* you!  Laura S., you are also in the queue to get an email from me.  It is flattering that you wrote a whole chapter about me in your thesis.  I will endeavor to read your thesis tonight and respond in kind. What I need is someone to check the recent comments on the blog and email me back if they are safe to read or not.  I don’t need any triggering mechanisms emotionally at the moment.   I am very sensitive and paranoid right now about comments and emails, and just can’t take a lot of criticism.  I am being the...

So a postcard would get there after he is already gone.  You even have to have a numeric pass code to call George on the phone security and privacy is so tight!  Take care and thanks for reading the blog so long and for looking out for George.  I do appreciate it and I am sure George does as well!

The New York Times reports, based upon the release of court documents containing internal documents and emails, that Dr. Biederman was allegedly paid by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) for his promotion of pediatric bipolar disorder and research into showing the efficacy of a drug used to treat it, Risperdal. Lots of good reporting on this today, so let’s start with The Philadelphia Inquirer’s take: Johnson & Johnson gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a research center run by an influential child psychiatrist explici...

What’s described are instances of near-misses, frustrated patients, and an equally frustrated doctor. Mind you, he is a mental health professional, but I wonder if the same could be true across the board. His deduction? For simple things like changing appointment times, refilling scripts and the like, email is a magical thing. But if there’s a major medical question or something’s burning on your mind, it’s best to call or maybe even head in. So what are your thoughts? Does your doc have an email system? Do you get the answers you seek in a timely manner? Or is there nothing that can replace good ‘ol fashioned face-to-face meetings? Leave us a comment and ...

Most of the sites I joined to were already listed in scam sites, and I was a victim also. Although, I have not invested money to upgrade my membership or purchase referrals for more earnings, I spent my time uselessly to these programs. Imagine clicking 20 ads and you get only $0.02/day? But GPT then provided “easy” money. Ever since I found blogging as potential source of online income, I stopped clicking ads and just concentrated on posting entries. However, recently, I found a good site that can provide easy money. This website is called Bux.to. I purchased 35 referrals, and currently has ea...

I, too, had several experiences with paid-to programs when I was just learning that the internet promises real money through these programs. Even now, I am a member of some GPT programs. Paid-to programs are appealing because most of these do not require payment for registration and you can spend any amount of time at your convenience. With numerous paid-to sites coming out, you can hardly distinguish which are worth trying (and is really paying) and which are plain scams. Most of these programs requ...

Rosa then asked. "We don't have a way to get there and the nearest meeting is in Lagrange," I replied. "That is a thirty minute drive away." "Your car getting stolen stinks," Rosa said pouting.
