And when you want to sleep you have to pump it slower. For exercise you would have to speed it up. You would have to know the rate of pumping for every activity. Do you think you could do it? Do you think that would be easy?It takes a lot of energy ...

But last week, I got the ultimate compliment. I was ordained as one of the “Disruptive Women in Healthcare,” a blog site that invites anyone, particularly women, to speak up and challenge the health care status quo. Since I got formal permission to be disruptive (as if I really needed to have someone tell me it’s okay), I am going to allow myself to be a bit irreverent in this blog entry. I apologize in advance. The focus of this week’s blog is on the health benefits of personal genetic testing–an emerging area of medicine that intrigues many people when they read about it, but scares them too much to get tested themselves.

She puts it away in her desk. Apparently Paul is late. Paul tells her he has asked his lawyer to call him while he is there if there is news about the hearing. He decided not to send the letter after talking with Rosie. Paul overslept and missed the hearing -- his lawyer had told him he didn't have to be there and he knows he didn't want to be there. He asks Gina about her life. Gina says she wants to know what his lawyer thought about the hearing. Paul tells her he thought it had gone well. Gina reflects that he has been under enormous pressure all year. He compliments her on how she looks. Paul tells her about when he was in grad school and how all the students were so in love with her. They were fascinated with her ad wanted to know all about her. Paul asks wha...

She expresses her sorrow about his father. Paul says he appreciates that she came to the funeral and let the kids come that weekend. Paul tells Kate he wants them to try again, that he wants to come home, he loves her and he wants another chance. Kate says she is seeing someone and she might be in love with him, that she can't do it again.  Gina asks Paul how he is as he enters her office. He thanks her for the orchid she sent. He said he was sorry she wasn't there. She says she didn't think it was her place to be there. He learned at the funeral from people who knew him that he liked to sing, which he had never known. Paul says he thinks women are good at loss but men aren't, because for men it means they lost. Paul asks how he can help his patients when his...

He is upset by the deposition but doesn't want to tell her about it. Tammy also had a bad day because of her husband's bad mood. Paul is impatient to be waited on and with Tammy's talk. He is irritated by her wanting him to listen. Tammy observes they have moved rapidly from being infatuated to being irritated. Paul says he will change his time with Gina but Tammy says she already has. Paul arrives late to see Gina because he says Rosie kept him because she wanted the keys to the car. Gona asks if they talk and he says no and they didn't when he was at home either, not for quite a while. He recals a time when it was just him and Rosie and how nice it was. He tells Gina he took April to the hospital. ...

Tammy comes in. The phone rings and it is Rosie. Paul asks if she has to leave because he thought they would take the train down together. Rosie is asking him about his father. She hangs up on him. He runs into Tammy again at Gina's. She says Mark -- her husband? -- is in the car. She looks anxious and says she has to go. Paul goes in to see Gina. She asks if he is okay. He says his father is sick, in late stage Parkinson's. Paul snaps at her. Paul says he can't talk with him. He is in a nursing home. Paul is angry he has to take care of him, and says he thinks his father deliberately mishandled his finances so he would have to take care of him.

A large man takes the seat next to him and starts eating and talking. Paul looks uncomfortable. He lies to the man when asked what he does and says he is in sales. Gina greets him at the door. She has redecorated. Paul has not talked with her in a while. He asks if his lawyer called about the malpractice case. She says he did and she will be deposed though she doesn't know how much help she can be. There is a knock and a woman has come back to get her glasses. She and Paul know each other. Gina identifies Paul as a friend not a patient. Gina tells him she is seeing patients, that her book is doing well and she asks if he has read it. He says he hasn't, that he isn't ready for it.  Paul tells her this is the first time in his life he has lived alone. Paul is gloomy ab...

Fear of genetic discrimination remains an issue, as evidenced by the passage of GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, which limited the use of genetic information by employers and health insurance providers. Other concerns include the meaning and uses of genetic knowledge in the face of uncertain choices; the significance of genetic information for ideas of self, family and community; and the challenges of genetic enhancement and personalized genomic medicine.

Even now, you get those big, fluttering “butterflies” in your stomach before making a speech. You stay away from parties because you feel a little self-conscious around people. Your mom always described you as “shy” and you admit you’re a bit of a “wallflower”. So–do you qualify as having a diagnosable mental disorder? Unless there’s much more to your story, the answer is no. But now consider Gina, a patient described by psychologists Barbara and Gregory Markway, in their book, Painfully Shy. In school, Gina not only dreaded being called on by the teacher, she would also “freeze up” and literally be unable to speak—a condition term...

It is organized by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), in collaboration with healthcare groups and asthma educators to raise awareness about asthma and improve asthma care throughout the world. This year’s theme is “You Can Control Your Asthma.” Asthma control is the goal of treatment and can be achieved in the vast majority of asthma patients with proper management. A person’s asthma is under control when he or she has: • No (or minimal) asthma symptoms. • No waking at night due to asthma. • No (or minimal) need to use “reliever” medication. • The ability to do normal physical activity and exercise. • Normal (or near-normal) lung function test results (PEF and FEV1). ...

The ACP does not directly address the concerns of employers or health insurance companies, but sides with the GINA supporters on individual rights to insurance protections. The ACP agrees that insurance providers should not be able to use an individual’s genetic information to deny or limit health coverage or establish eligibility, enrolment, or to set requirements. In addition, ACP said insurers should be prohibited from setting different premium rates based on an individual’s genetic information. ACP also said it should be illegal for employers and insurers to require individuals or their families to ...

She quotes Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the NIH, “It’s pretty clear that the public is afraid of taking advantage of genetic testing. If that continues, the future of medicine that we would all like to see happen stands the chance of being dead on arrival.” I don't think it's as dire as that, but all of us -- patients, physicians, industry and thought leaders -- need to push for systemic solutions.

One of my wonderful readers called and said "I love reading the Sherpa everyday! You have some way of fitting in really interesting and insightful information that I don't get anywhere else. Trust me, I am on the Internet all the time. No one has this stuff but you! So keep it up Sherpa!"Let me tell you a little bit about the Sherpa and his (my) day. I usually get up around five am. I hit the snooze button but it never seems to work. Mainly because my daughter has decided to get up as well. I get the baby, change the diapers and turn on the computer. These days I turn on the Treo 700wx as well. I see what emails have transpired while I was sleeping and I get an invoice from my employees overseas.My S.O. heads to work and I am left alone wit...

Check out the video to see tension in Jena’s story ... played out in yours. Does the media get it? Do you? When thousands of Jena marchers hit their mark today, I hope they’ll create racial respect where you and I work…. For that reason I’m asking both marchers and media 5 two-footed questions.1. Are you marching with a war or peace plan in mind for all people?2. Do you bring winning solutions and the guts to inspire others to try these? 3. Will you model tone today to turn differences into deep respect for all humans?4. Will you vent today, or build a new legacy of trust and care and c...

I came across a mention of the book in the blogosphere and had to check it out. I have personally not read the book yet, but I have poured over newspaper and reader reviews. In Rethinking Thin, Kolata argues being fat is biological destiny. She says most overweight people are stuck within a relatively narrow weight range set by their genes. But as obesity rates have steadily risen and the phrase 'obesity epidemic' sails across the news waves, the pressure to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight screa...

I have been doing great. Today at 1:30, I went for my first bridal gown fitting. God I love my dress. Anyway, when I went to the bridal store the first time I fell in love with this particular dress as soon as I put it on. They say you know when you know, boy did I! I didn’t even want to take it off. The best part was that the designer of the dress was there for a trunk show and he loved it on me too! I am sure they just say they love you in it but, not to be cocky I think I looked damn good in it hahahA. So, I go back into the dressing room and my mom is with me and the first thing I say to her? “Mom, where am I going to put my pump?” shes like ” Gee, I don&#8...
