Looks like I finally have an excuse to ditch Blogger comments and switch to Disqus. I've really liked their hooks into social media but wasn't sure about the fate of older comments. Thanks to the wonder of Twitter, though, a random, wistful comment about Disqus to a friend caught @disqus' attention. They've answered my concerns and so here we are. I'll test out their service on newer posts and consider converting older posts if things work out. I know that from my experience with Dad-o-matic that the conversion doesn't always work (or @paisano methodically deleted all my old comments while laughing maniacally–you never k...

I am hearing from readers that they've left comments but none are showing up. I am trying to track down the issue. If you write comments and have found them NOT posting, please leave a comment below.
No, I kid.
If Blogger is not posting your comments then I have another reason to switch platforms. It's a lot of work, so I've been putting it off, but your comments are really important to me so I'd be willing to make the effort. You have no idea how important comments are to me and how much I agonize if you don't leave any. I'm fairly pathetic in that regard.

No, now I'm kidding.
I must admit, however, that last night the sink looked just like this, except without all the artsy high contrast. And it wasn't so blue. At any rate, I discovered to my amazement that every utensil & cup in our home had migrated to the sink and gathered a sedimentary layer of sticky food on their journey.

Had an idea to use writing of a blog for a minor in medical education. The idea was sacrificed for other options for minors. Seems that blogs in medical education can promote reflection and professionalism.

An important part of professionalism is self reflection. It’s necessary for the integration of theory with experience. For acquiring a professional attitude one needs to reflect on his or her own values, shortcomings, improvable aspects of their role as physician. A blog during med...

Halloween decorations were being dragged out, sorted and put up. We believe holidays are best done overdone. There was a lot of racket and a lot of interesting things to go through. One family member was blocked from entering the room where all the fun was happening. He did not take it gracefully.
He has never laid down facing into his house before. He’s turned his back to me on several occasions, but this was a whole new level of anger.
When he was younger, Bumble would stay mad longer. But now, at the mature age of 5, only a few pets on the head produced this response:

Fear is something I have experienced much of in the last nine years since my diagnosis, and my feeling is that it is not something that I “surmount” or “overcome”, but something that I go “through”. It is not always pleasant, and coming out on the other side is not always a victory march. Sometimes the only benefit to living through my fear is the reminder that I am human and that suffering is part of the experience.

Since I write for a number of blogs, I often get questions from would-be writers. Something which crops up frequently is a lack of confidence. Many (surprisingly good) writers never send pieces to an editor, or agonise over every post they write on their own blog.

This week wasn't such a great week for writing. Between sickness, ticking, and ferrying kids about I never seemed to have any brain juice left when I sat down in front of my computer. The ship had sailed; the mind was gone. What little I did have seemed to be occupied reading news and researching antique pencil sharpeners.
What? I didn't tell you about that? I bought an old issue of American Artist from 1952 because it had an article about Alex Raymond in it. Fabulous illustrator. His work on Flash Gordon is probably what you most likely have seen. As I was thumbing through the magazine, I was delighted by two things. On...

You may not realize it, but by reading this blog post you are participating in "Pathology 2.0". What is Pathology 2.0? For that, read an edited transcript of remarks made by Dr. Keith J. Kaplan (pictured) at the College of American Pathologists Foundation June 12-14 "Futurescape of Pathology" conference in Rosemont, Illinois. Speaking of things 2.0, today is the opening day of the Health 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Subtitled "User-Generated Healthcare", the conference focuses on the ways in which Web 2.0 technology is being applied to healthcare today. Conference organizers define Health 2.0 on their website as follow...

Why blog?
Certainly a small part of the fun is hoping for admiration and affirmation. I check my blog stats and google analytics regularly and a peak in readers certainly is another boost for writing more posts. Eventually you get to “know” your colleague bloggers, and human contact grows. The most important reason for me to blog is to keep up with developments in my field and make ideas and these developments known and published. A growing number of professionals have started weblogging to share their personal knowledge.
What factors influence this knowledge sharing with bloggers?
A recent study published th...

FierceHealthcare last week published a list of nine interesting healthcare bloggers. I didn't make the list, but I guess it would have raised some suspicion if I had, because I of course write the weekly FierceHealthIT, FierceMobileHealthcare and FierceEMR newsletters, published by the same company. As it turns out, I also contributed a story to last Friday's FierceHealthcare from the Healthcare Facilities Symposium in Chicago.A couple of IT blogs made the list: HIStalk (of course) and Will Weider's Candid CIO blog.By the way, this week's FierceMobileHealthcare week will have a list of interesting free apps for the BlackBe...

Hear this article read to you:
I have a variety of gadgets and widgets along the side of my blog that are nothing more than boondoggles. It's time to chuck out what is unnecessary. Since I've finished the Web Project of DOOM and have started moving on to new projects, I have cast a weary eye at my blog design. You may recall it didn't always look so bland, but six years of adding and adding onto it produced a monstrosity that apparently scared some older browsers into fits. So I deleted everything one day and went with a default Blogger template.
So boring.
I wouldn't allow myself to redesign the site while I had de...

Hear this article read to you:
It has come to my attention that those of you who are subscribed to my email feed have been receiving multiple announcements for the same blog post, namely the "Man Eating Bunny" article.
No, I am not fishing for compliments, as has been teasingly suggested to me. I have been tweaking the blog features lately and apparently Blogger has treated each edit as a new publication. I apologize for the inconvenience.
But now that we're on the subject…what DID you think of the…no, no, nevermind.Please visit the site and leave a comment or rate the article. I live for feedback. Thanks. (Sou...

Note: Though this is a medical post that concerns hospital care in the USA, I believe the issues covered in these videos are universally applicable to hospitals and patients all over the world. I urge everyone, especially those visitors who are not from the USA to view the videos.

(Read George's post on The Bad Blog to see what the deal is, but I'm not talking about it today. Nope. Don't want to. Taking the day off.)In the theme of not writing about mumble mumble today, I was talking with my coworker about what I'd like to write about instead of mumble mumble. Like what did I used to write when I was younger, and before the last four years had become focused on a certain health-related theme?I wrote my first poem when I was a dust bunny of a kid, barely able to reach the kitchen counter. It was about my cat. And it was not profound:My cat is big and fat.Can you im...
