I will not be submitting my regular blog format today. I’m feeling overwhelmed and fatigued and after giving it some thought, decided this was the best way to go. I’m certain all of you have noticed how popular the pain blog has become and over the last few days we have received an overwhelming response from readers. It troubles me when I can’t answer each and every one of your entries, although I try. There are still about 25 entries from the last few days that deserve a reply and I want to spend the time today, when I would normally be writing a new blog, in answering all of those. I believe if you take time out of...

It’s that time of the year again, when we pull together our top picks for mental health and psychology stories in the news in the past year. There’s no magic to our choices, we’re just looking for stories that you believe had the biggest positive or negative impact in this area. For instance, last year the passage of the mental health parity law here in the U.S. was the biggest mental health news story of 2008. One example for this year might’ve been the debate we had surrounding what I thought was a pretty sensible law about postpartum depression. You can take a look at last year’s Year in Re...

I never read this Cherry Ames book.

Nurses were supposed to work in hospitals! Where they would wear their cap! Why on earth would you want to do anything without your cap? Back in 1966 it was the sole reason I was planning nursing school!
(Cut me some slack, I was nine.)
Today, I am in the midst of studying public health. Yes, there is life outside the hospital.
But there was never a “Cherry Ames, Public Health Nurse”. Or so I thought. I was wrong. This is it. Here is the quote from Amazon.com:

The details are boring -- they involve my dissatisfaction with the one-click wordpress installation my hosting service offers. It really shouldn't bother me. The installation is actually fantastic, and if I prioritized blogging above futzing around with mysql databases and css stylesheets, I'd have a beautiful new blog already. But it does bother me. I want more control over the files than I have under the one-click installation.

There is no question more women than ever before are surviving breast cancer. This is happening because of early screening and better and more aggressive treatment. So I was absolutely shocked today to hear that the United States Preventive Services Task Force (a committee appointed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) is now recommending that women do not get regular mammograms until their fifties and even then limit screening to every other year. In addition they are suggesting that breast self exams not be taught. ARE THEY CRAZY?

Blog to Cope With Alzheimer's Fog
You're never too old to start blogging -- and to stave off dementia.
Seniors in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, with mild to moderate memory loss, are writing Web logs to help them make sense of their daily lives. And the activity, they say, is slowing the onset of their symptoms.
Many people, once they're diagnosed with AD, simply give up on life, said Alice Young, a 75-year-old former psychotherapist who divides her time each year between Florida and Minnesota. And those are the people who go down more q...

We already know that first impressions can tell a lot about a person. You meet someone, you shake their hand, they smile, you smile back, you introduce yourself.

But did you know that even a photo of you can create a first impression? New research discussed over at one of Newsweek’s blogs demonstrates how easily — and accurately — photos can convey information about our personalities. Simply by just looking at natural photos of other people, you can u...

Where are the words to describe a day like this? Rarely short on words, I find it’s more a matter of propriety, society and sobriety. No, it’s not that kind of sobriety.

This kind of sobriety is the type I often battle because I’m a natural born smart ass. I use humor like some people use Kleenex; to cope, to wipe away problems and to get through the day.

This is the second year I've participated in D-blog . Gina is the master mind behind D-blog day. I am blog empty! I have a lot to say but can't get it out of my head. I am trying to get ready to go home (Kansas City, MO) and prepare for a World Diabetes Day Luncheon I will be speaking at....I wanted to paint a picture of what I hope the event looks like: There are a lot of different ways people celebrate World Diabetes Day,
this year I decided to participate and be a part of the planning
committee of a luncheon at Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center.
I have volunteered at the health center since the age of 9....

Apparently once you remember that tuberculosis is spread by spitting…
You are then allowed to spit.
Reminds me of an incident.
Elderly lady.
Elegant, actually.
Didn’t speak English.
Smiled at everyone she passed.
She smiled at me.
Just before turning her head, clearing her throat and spitting three feet across the hallway.
Then she smiled and continued down to her husband’s room.
I didn’t take it personally. I did, however, feel my jaw hit the floor…

John McWhorter on the Behe incidentEmail this article to a colleague.

He addresses the Behe diavlog. Sort of. McWhorter states that he did not find the rebuttals to the arguments in Michael Behe's Edge of Evolution persuasive. Fair enough, but I would be curious as to what other books on evolution he has read (I think he mentioned Sean Carroll?). The math in something like John Maynard Smith's Evolutionary Genetics is really not that hard (mostly algebra). One of the major problems I have with intelligent, open-minded people, who have looked into the "debate" and are not convinced about evolution is that they know the terms of the "argument" only in the context of responses to the talking po...

In a nod to fellow ScienceBlogger Ed Brayton, with his hilarious Dumbass Quote of the Day, I hereby inaugurate the "Idiotic Comment of the Week," culled from this very blog. I don't guarantee that I'll do it every week, but when I see neuron-necrosing idiocy below and beyond the usual call of pseudoscientists and quackery boosters who occasionally like to try to match their "wits" (such as they are) with my reality- and science-based commenters, usually to hilarious effect, I'll give it the "honor" it deserves. This week, despite highly intense competition (thanks to a recent infestation of new anti-vaccine trolls even dum...

Come take a walk with me! Maggie and I just finished our two mile jaunt. Boy, was it cold this morning and I was wishing I had remembered to bring my gloves. Maggie looked like a little spastic steam engine chugging down the street. She can really strut her stuff on these walks. I call her the small dog that thinks she is big. Machismo. Sunrise was just occurring as we walked back into my yard home bound. Beautiful hues of pink and orange cascaded across the sky accompanied by wispy strands of clouds. I could've been sleeping some more, but I would be missing one of the better spectacles I've seen lately. I'm going to ea...

Dooce's second child, Marlo, dressed as a caterpillar for Halloween. I thought this was awesome and Dooce's photography is stellar as usual as well. Her sense of humor jives with mine as always. (Source: The 4th Avenue Blues)
