He posted it in response to comments from other readers to my blog about Dr. Berwick’s commencement address to his daughter’s medical school class. I tweeted about Jonathan’s post, calling it a needed voice of idealism at a cynical time. This is what Jonathan had to say to his physician colleagues: “To begin, I am a fourth-year medical student going into primary care and this directly applies to me. We have two options when reading [Dr. Berwick's] address. We can take, in my opinion, the weak road or the strong road. Our new generation, as well as the one that raised us, is one of apathy and selfishness. We are only concerned about how changes ...

It’s called Instant Oil Spill, and it’s an interactive site that brings the murky toxins of the oil spill right to your computer screen. The site is brought to you by A Cleaner Future, a nonprofit that focuses on creating awareness about alternative and cleaner energy sources. We thought that adding a little oil spill to the BP website would be cathartic, and, while it was sort of fun in an ironic way to see the black goop fill their homepage, it just wasn’t all that satisfying. via The Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree BP-ify Your Computer Screen: Instant Oil Spill (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3746711 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:19:31 +0100 3746711 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2376402&cid=t_175714_117_f&fid=36026&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.everydayhealth.com%2Fblog%2Fzimney-health-and-medical-news-you-can-use%2Fswine-flu-separating-hysteria-from-fact%2F As of today, Monday April 27, I agree completely with President Obama when he says that while swine flu is an issue of concern, it is “not a cause for alarm.” There are several reasons why you should not panic in spite of the incessant media drum beat and the minute by minute updates. First, so far this is an extremely uncommon illness affecting a very small number of people in the United States, all of whom had mild illness and recovered without incident. Yes, it might spread further, but even so, let’s take a step back and remember that we’re talking about influenza, not Ebola or smallpox. And while full-blown influenza is no walk in the park, for most people it’s not even remotely life-threatening. It’s an unpleasant upper respiratory illness with systemic symptoms of fever,...

You can hear Charlie’s voice all the time in our house. Plenty of words are said though what Charlie means by “Jesso doggy Barney tape” is probably not clear to many (if not most) people. Charlie hums and warbles and sings ever-longer snatches and phrases of songs. In the past few months, he often sings the melody of any song he’s heard and, more and more, the lyrics too. Today it was something by Van Halen after hearing it on the radio; at school, after another student sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” after the Pledge of Allegiance over the loudspeaker, C...
