            <description>Of all the work I do with clients, I find organization to be one of the &quot;secret weapons&quot; to better mental health. From Fortune 500 high-fliers to those struggling just to get enough to eat every day, finding a way to collect, control, and act on all the &quot;stuff&quot; in life increases not only productivity, but also peace of mind. And if you understand organizing, you also understand several concepts central to the therapeutic process.Tags: book, focusing, in practice, therapy, tools, work-life (Source: Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life)</description>

            <description>Most of the time, when the manipulator casts themselves as a victim, they don't really see themselves as victimized, they just really want the other party to see them as wounded, injured, or suffering in some way in order to elicit sympathy, cloud the picture about just who is the victimizer and who is the victim, and otherwise impression-manage the real victim.Tags: aggression, character disturbance, in practice, manipulation, relationships, responsibility, violence (Source: Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life)</description>

            <title>Of getting lost, gold plated stethoscopes and medical careers</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2263001&amp;cid=t_96463_83_f&amp;fid=38215&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Forthologbook%2F%7E3%2FWu_cvmV5Zu8%2Fis-there-such-thing-as-blue-vs-red-pill.html</link>
            <description>&quot;Lost&quot;.That's the best word to describe my general feeling the day after my graduation. I don't know where to start my medical career. There weren't any practical road maps to take on. I say practical because it's frustrating trying to figure out the nitty-gritty of establishing a practice on your own! Despite swallowing voluminous medical information and bombardments of idealism sans borders, I'm still lost in the opportunities in front of me. Regurgitating medical facts you learn in the lecture halls and clinics is not an easy thing to do. Those facts I learned (and still learning it) the hard way.

The great enlightenment so far focused on two things- that career decisions solely depend on principles, values and capabilities and that you will be entirely responsible for whatever outcome...</description>

            <description>The application of Web 2.0 to medicine spawned the term Health 2.0 and Medicine 2.0. While the use of web 2.0 tools in medicine is quite unclear, recent research on internet usage among one population is revealing. One third of the American population said they've used the internet for queries related to medicine and healthcare. Also, some 250,000 physicians utilized web 2.0 tools for their practice. These usage data is changing the medical environment and web 2.0 tools is taking a large role in it.While most physicians barely scratched the surface of web 2.0 use some of us may have been using these web 2.0 tools unknowingly. The opportunity for clinical use is yet largely untouched for some reason. Others are afraid of losing the so called &quot;personal touch&quot; between physicians and patients ...</description>

            <description>A few minutes after finishing my previous post, I stumbled at one article citing the difficulties of physicians&amp;nbsp; in the developing nations in taking advantage of the internet to improve health care delivery. To quote one response from this article in an EBM Journal.All of this science sounds really good, doctor, but I practice in a small town where I see very poor patients. We don't have computers and medical libraries, you know. In fact, we sometimes don't even have electricity.Admittingly, the solution to this &quot;obstacle&quot; far extend beyond health care policies alone. Majority of our patients don't have internet connectivity yes, but physicians should get connected and get updates. Recent studies showed physicians beginning to harness (emails, journal searches) the internet's potentia...</description>

            <description>I've been asked several times by colleagues and friends alike what do I get from blogging and joining social networks as a physician-surgeon. My honest to goodness answer was,
I'm dabbling at web 2.0 tools to enhance my practice, my delivery of health care and sometimes, earn from sponsored ads.I get blank stares when I mentioned web 2.0 but the words &quot;earn&quot; seem to catch astute ears. I usually don't get enough talking time to expound on this, especially with the web 2.0 and health 2.0 part. Thus, I am making a series of posts to elucidate what web 2.0 is to us physicians and how is it changing the medical practice and our delivery of health care. (Forget the earning part, the web is replete with how-tos on this topic)

I must warn physicians reading these series of posts, that even if I t...</description>

            <description>Frankly, to some degree, I am.

Had it not been for an item in one newspaper and Google Health Maps, I would have left this story to the epidemiologist and infectious disease experts and enjoy Pacquiao's glamorous boxing stints. But this news pinched an area of my curiosity.
Pigs in three Philippine hog farms have been found infected with the Ebola Reston virus, a strain not harmful to humans, officials say.-9News Australia
This strain of Ebola virus (Reston) was previously known to infect monkeys and Department of Agriculture secretary Arthur Yap assured Filipinos this Ebola strain is non pathogenic to humans.

However, following the news items &quot;anchored&quot; on the Philippines' Google health map location, suggest that much is still unknown of this Ebola strain.

Simply put, starting academic year 2009-2010, all freshman medical students who enter the halls of this premier medical institution, will be required a three (3) year return of service after they graduate before they will be allowed to go out of the country for training, further studies or employment.

            <description>Conclusions: Elderly patients who had hip or knee replacements for severe OA took several weeks to recover but experienced excellent long-term outcomes.
