We, as a nation, have made progress and I believe Dr. King would be proud.  But our work is far from complete–particularly where health care is concerned.  Another doctor, Dr. John M. Eisenberg, a physician of tremendous stature whose life was also tragically cut short (not by an assassin’s bullet but by brain cancer) was equally passionate about the dignity of life and justice for all Americans.   Dr. Eisenberg, who among other things, served as the Director of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (as AHRQ was known back in the day), cared deeply about access to and the integrity of health care for all Americans– regardless of skin color. Eleven years ago, on January 14, 2000, Dr. Eisenberg gave what is, in my opinion, a brilliant...

I was glad, then, to read Joan Broderick and colleagues paper today about using ‘End of Day’ reporting instead of moment-by-moment reporting of pain and fatigue. Firstly, I’d like to quickly go over why it’s helpful to use moment-by-moment reporting instead of simply asking people to remember - and the basic reason is our rather erratic and biased recall of pain. As humans, we s...

We are honored (even honoured, I'd dare say) that they started the list with our complimentary Brain Fitness 101 e-Guide: - "The science behind some of the more outlandish claims for computer games that are supposed to improve your cognitive powers, is a matter of debate.
