Monday, March 24, 2008. Ahead of the curve in Athens, GA.

http://jrmc8350.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-secret-love-affair-with-judah.html
Monday, January 21, 2008. My secret love affair with Judah Folkman. Dr Judah Folkman, one of the world’s most creative and important cancer researchers, died in the Denver airport on January 15. I heard the news early the next morning on NPR and immediately turned to the obituary. In the New York Times. To be honest, we were together only four times in 17 years. But that was enough. He was an honorable man. Six years later, Judah’s work had become incredibly famous and my friend Bob Cooke published...

In her new book, Davis argues that the so-called "war on cancer" has spotlighted diagnostic tests and novel therapies while soft-pedaling big money carcinogens like tobacco. Although I think that tobacco is the single biggest modifiable risk factor for cancer, Davis once published studies shifting the blame away from tobacco and onto environmental pollutants. But hey, it's all about learning as you go. One final note, sparked. By Red and Black's.

JRMC 8350 Health and Medical Journalism: Drought and disease
http://jrmc8350.blogspot.com/2007/10/drought-and-disease.html
Sunday, October 7, 2007. If I'd known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself. If I'd known we were going to run out of water by Christmas, I would have taken shorter showers and never, ever rinsed dishes under running water. When we're healthy and the reservoirs are full, we assume it will always be so. Frightened by a heart attack or the threat of taps run dry, we vow to do better. But when the crisis is over, do we really stop eating fries or get that leaky tap fixed?

Saturday, February 2, 2008. Of course the forces of darkness try to bring down the operation.

Lewis Black is comedic gold. Medical Jour...
