Do you hate being in unfamiliar positions? Do your friends laugh at you and say you’re too uptight? Or are you too intense to have friends? Don’t worry, you’re not alone – I used to be that guy. I had to be in control of my situation at all times. I didn’t try new things. I never stepped out of my comfort level. And things had to be done in a very specific way. Then I realized how miserable I was. And I examined why I was so inflexible. And it always came back to the same thing – fear. Fear of doing something new, fear of making a mistake, fear of the unpredictable, and fear of the unknown. Fear should never hold that much sway over your life. Fear is death to growth, ideas, and change. Fear keeps you in a box, in a rut, and oftenti...

Find Out About Insurance Depending on the Kind of health insurance you have, you may need a referral from your primary care physician.  If no referral is necessary, you will want to call the office and make sure that they take your insurance before you make an appointment. Generally speaking, insurance providers will not cover cosmetic procedures.  But, a flexible spending plan can usually be used to cover those procedures. Ask About Payment Plans In the event that the procedure you want is not covered by insurance, you will want to get an estimate and find out about payment plans before you make a commi...

By using their patented chemical compound, SHetA2, researchers tricked cancer cells into responding to new treatments and undergoing cell suicide. … [T]he compound will work with several cancers, including lung, kidney, ovarian, colon [...] (Source: Libby's H*O*P*E*) Libby's H*O*P*E* blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3071434 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:19:58 +0100 3071434 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2715894&cid=t_188657_86_f&fid=36669&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffadelibrary.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F08%2F19%2Fnhs-health-and-well-being-review-interim-report%2F Title: NHS Health and Well-being Review: Interim Report The Skinny: Interim report from the Boorman review of Health and Wesslbing in the NHS which identifies the following key components required of NHS organisations: board commitment, top management leadership and staff engagement embedding staff health and well-being in the core business of the organisation as part of what it means to be a good employer proper resourcing for staff health and wellbeing services, with a clear understanding that this represents investment that will deliver both long-term savings and improved patient care agreed and consistent measures of the effectiveness of staff health and well-being programmes, which can be used for board and national reporting.

In the past two weeks, I’ve spent several days in both Florida and Alaska for work. To add to that busy schedule, Caryn’s (my fiancée) graduate school commencement festivities occurred, so hopefully you’ll forgive (or at least understand) the lull in my postings. However, I didn’t plan on missing any posts last week because I was staying at a “business class” hotel in the capital city of Alaska. I expected Internet access at a business center where I could jot my tri-weekly musings and post from the land of the midnight sun. This was not the case, and I just had to look around and accept that a couple of postings were going to be miss...
