You spend 33 days in your inlaws' condo -- in sweltering South West Florida -- and you feel you've got to keep posting these pictures. Getting out to take them was my main escape. What do you think about this...

The following is a reader take by Half MD. Archaeologists this week have discovered an ancient Indian enclave in what is now rural Mississippi. Called the Click Creek Indians -- this particular organization seems to have been wiped out many hundreds of years ago, but left behind a vast library with which scientists were able to piece together their final history. This tribe was well advanced and used...

The following is a reader take by Malinda Markowitz. If you wonder why Republican campaign strategists are worried about their party's vulnerability on health care, consider the story of Leslie Elder of West Palm Beach, Fl.. "We had major medical health insurance, and than I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987. After a radical mastectomy, I was again diagnosed with breast cancer and another radical...

Post coming later tonight or tomorrow morning with full story and link to pictures (and hopefully video, too) if I can not have Aperture fight me tooth and nail with every adjustment. My computer is showing its age (read: ancient) and Apple is making things harder on us G5-owning folk with each passing upgrade. I know [...]

I have more Ecuador posts in the works, but I'm in Maine at a course on medical genetics right now, and I think I left the appropriate USB drive at home. Anyway, It's really funny, when you've been sick for a while, how you can forget where your true baseline lies. I am currently feeling better than I've felt in over a year, despite tapering the steroids from the point when I had to refuse hospital...
Cranky Epistles (Free subscription) | 9 hours ago
After supper this evening, we (meaning the Cranky Husband and I) decided that it was a Family Sundae night. Each participant gets to concoct their own special dish, everyone has to try a bit of someone else's and no hollering allowed. While CH and the Shark cleared away dinner dishes (with Biscotta directing from her saucer), bear and I trekked to Acme to procure appropriate supplies. Ice cream (vanilla,...

The Rolling Peke had a play date last week. We finally got together with some old friends and their Big Doggies: a 150 lb. Bernese Mountain Dog and a 180 lb. rescued Great Dane . The Rolling Peke, who by now can actually walk quite well (though the wheelchair still comes in handy for long walks and certain excretory functions) quickly put them in their place, as they then proceeded to have a wonderful...

Yep! You read it right! Another food post. Cause you know us post gastric bypass people still like to eat food! No pictures of tonight's dinner concoction, so you'll just have to settle for words and descriptions :-) Tonight's dinner extrordinaire was.....Sheppard's Pie!! Ground beef as the bottom layer, followed by sauteed leftover mushrooms and onions from last night's steak dinner. (Yum!) Next layer:...
Fight Aging! (Free subscription) | 11 hours ago
The brain is a singular organ - our selves are defined by its structure. The aging brain can't be replaced by the same near-future tissue engineering techniques that will give us new hearts and other organs grown fresh from our own stem cells. Thus we are going to have to become very good at repairing the brain in situ, cell by cell, aggregate by aggregate. One of the biotechnologies needed to achieve...
Managed Care Matters (Free subscription) | yesterday
I think I've figured out why analysts have been unable to accurately forecast health plan financials - they don't know what questions to ask. That's the only conclusion I can draw after listening to the latest earnings call from Coventry...

I've really grown weary of the drama around this site over the last couple of months. Let's just say it's taking the fun out of doing a blog like this and, frankly, I have to do some serious thinking about...

( Note: This is my second post under the auspices of the nurse blogger scholarship which I recently received from Value Care, Value Nurses .) Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic nominee for President, faces a tough crowd when talking about healthcare in America. As a nurse, I myself am a tough crowd, and my cynicism towards politicians of any stripe runs relatively deep. In my (potentially naive)...

DENTON — Investigators are looking into how a young boy managed to slip out of a Denton day care center unnoticed, then cross two busy roads and end up a half-mile away at a Hooters restaurant on Tuesday afternoon. The...
