http://haligonianhabitat.blogspot.com/2012/04/poorly-thought-out-policies-from.html

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Poorly-thought-out Policies from Politicians. Stephen McNeil, NS Liberal leader:. So far so good, I suppose, and certainly retention of physicians in rural areas - which, let's face it, is what "underserviced" means - is a worthy goal.

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Surgery Makes Me Sleepy. I originally wrote this back in January, but I present it here with additional comment. I suppose that leads to what kind of career I'm considering. That can be left for another post though.

Haligonian Habitat: February 2013

http://haligonianhabitat.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Sunday, February 24, 2013. Yeesh, has it really been since July that I last posted? Will have to remedy that. I'm also considering retitling this blog, perhaps something along the lines of "Evidence-Based Musings", an admittedly somewhat lame play on "Evidence-Based Medicine". Anyway. I do want to write more about urban issues with perhaps the odd intervening medicine topic. Become obsessed with Community. In any...

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Thursday, April 28, 2011. The Land Is Strong. That, anyway, is the kind of campaign Harper seems to have been running, with the caveat that said land is only strong with him in the PM's chair. All told this didn't really work for Trudeau. Back in 1972 and Harper's ship has probably now sailed. At the very least, Jack Layton and Olivia Chow will be moving into Stornoway. Links to this post. View my complete profile.

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Thursday, March 22, 2012. Rob Ford loses on transit. Again. It's been a tumultuous few weeks in my own life, such that I haven't been posting as much as I'd like. Some important events in the larger world have occurred in the meantime. First, the month-long transit strike here in Hali ended:. But the big news is that Toronto City Council voted 24-19. To quote Steve Munro. 8220;The election starts now.”. That was ...

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. She's going into shock! This phrase seems to be turn up a lot in movies and television shows, especially of the scifi variety. "Shock" in this sense usually coincides with a character suffering some injury or sudden insult and then wildly convulsing or acting delirious or any combination of the two. I was just watching the pilot of Firefly. Well, here's definition of shock. One wonders why&...

Thoughts on politics, cooking, medicine, science, and anything else that comes up from Hali. Saturday, October 16, 2010. One more week of Peds. Some things I've learned whilst doing my pediatrics rotation:. You can never write too many notes. There's always something you will forget to do or ask on history. The kids *are* cute, but don't go sticking the otoscope in their ears at the beginning of the exam. It's spelled "paediatrics" in New Brunswick. You will sleep at least a bit while on call. There are ...
