This whole issue with Sermo has me hoppin’ mad. This story really came to a head last week, but I didn’t really pay attention to it as I’m not a physician and therefore don’t care about a site of which I can’t participate. However, I finally did read some articles about this and my […]
The 1975 JC Penney’s Catalog. I definitely don’t remember this one, but my childhood was full of dreaming of getting things from phonebook-sized catalogs, like the Sears Wishbook, to smaller-sized but no less desirable merchants, such as Radio Shack.

Grand Rounds’ 4th birthday is hosted at Kevin, MD.

OK, so I’ve about had it with this teething crap. We already have a high-energy, go-go-go, sleep-fighting, hell-on-training-wheels toddler (16mo) as it is. The two upper canine teeth are coming in simultaneously, and it’s about all I can do to keep it together. After the Tylenol and topical Orajel have run their course […]

Especially in emergency settings, it helps assist healthcare personnel to 1) identify the nationality/language of the person so that an appropriate translator can be found, and 2) obviously, so the patient can easily communicate […]
It’s after midnight, and I was doing a slow shutdown of things at my desk when the news bulletin was found in my inbox: Luciano Pavarotti, unarguably one of the greatest voices of the 20th century, has passed away, having lost his battle to pancreatic cancer. Many famous, even history-making musicians have died in […]
