I think being famous would stink. Especially when you’re sick. With the recent report that one hospital leaked records from Farrah Fawcett’s recent medical stay is just one example. Now, Kaiser Permanente’s Bellflower Hospital has been fine $250,000 for “failing to keep employees from snooping in the medical records of Nadya Suleman.” While I think it’s a great idea that a hospital can be fined when their employees snoop into medical records, it’s an even bigger threat when that employee decides to sell that information to the tabloids. I know we all have a fascination for the lives of celebrities, but people deserve their privacy. Image: sxc.hu. Share and Enjoy: Post fro...

He is such an inspiration to every single diabetic out there (including me!) When I heard he got diabetes in 1999, I felt bad for him. But I also knew that diabetes can strike anyone, regardless of health or fitness level. I was plesantly surprised to see Gary talk openly about the disease and even more pleased that he has started a foundation to help raise awareness.

The Title of the article is, Building awareness of ADHD and it features Ty Pennington of “Trading Spaces” and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition“. Ty recently appeared in a classroom of Sherwood Middle School for a question and answer session. An unusual spot to find such a busy TV star, even more unusual was how he ended up there in this town of less than 10,000 people. Cathy Jensen, school psychologist sent an e-mail to Ty back in September was hoping he would at least send an e-mail back to her.

More specifically, the article speculates how Einstein and Edison would have been affected if they had been taken Ritalin for their learning disabilities. If they had been on Ritalin, would they still have made the historical discoveries they are credited for? This is the first time I’ve read that Chicago DJ, Erich “Mancow” Mueller had ADHD and his parents refused to give him Ritalin. He struggled through school, but now excels as a fast talking, wise guy radio personality. Bottom line of the article: Ritalin or other drugs to treat ADHD will dull inspiration and creativity.

His mother was so angry, she pulled him out of school to tutor him at home. His father bribed him read some of the classics, offering him ten cents for each one he was able to complete.
