SOME GUYS JUST AREN'T CUT OUT FOR A 9 TO 5…. What I’d like to say to my father one day. My father was born and raised in Jaffna; a small, Tamil town in northern Sri Lanka. And like many Tamils of his generation, he was determined to leave from an early age; not just for a better life but for a safer one too. So true (fragbows.blogspot.com). I never really knew my paternal grandparents but I gather my grandfather was particularly hard on my father. However he would also heap praise on him for his succ...

Musings of a Dinosaur. Solo family practice: I may be going the way of the dinosaur, but I'm not dead yet. Me and My Blog. Ten Laws of the Dinosaur. June 16, 2015. I couldn’t sleep last night. I have no idea why. I played tennis for over an hour in the late afternoon’s sweltering heat, but it felt good. I had a good dinner; not too much, not too late. I even remembered to take some naproxen before I went to bed to combat the beginning stiffness. But then I just couldn’t get to sleep. Not for long, though...

Mammography Doesn’t Save Lives | Musings of a Dinosaur

Musings of a Dinosaur. Solo family practice: I may be going the way of the dinosaur, but I'm not dead yet. Me and My Blog. Ten Laws of the Dinosaur. July 7, 2015. Mammography Doesn’t Save Lives. Preventive care doesn’t save money. And now it turns out mammograms don’t even save lives. I’ve had my doubts. I’ve diagnosed women with breast cancers less than a year after their last mammogram because the tumors grew so damn quickly. Mammography didn’t save them. Ah, but what to do about it? It’s now a p...

8230;rather than a lifetime of nothing special. A diabetes blog. Best of the ‘Betes Blogs. Let’s ignore for a moment that I haven’t posted in two months. Working in diabetes all day takes a bit of the motivation away from writing about it at night. Unfortunately something happened last night to bring a little of the motivation back to the surface. It needs to stop being the pun of someone’s joke. Why would a person go to the doctor if they 1) think diabetes is not that serious and 2) think that it is...

Organic Foods - Are They More Nutritious, Safe, or Worthy of Still Life Paintings? - The Examining Room of Dr. Charles
http://www.theexaminingroom.com/2012/11/organic-foods-nutritious-safe-still-life
The Examining Room of Dr. Charles. Organic Foods – Are They More Nutritious, Safe, or Worthy of Still Life Paintings? November 26, 2012. A large systematic review. Concluded that organic foods in general are no more nutritious than conventionally produced foods, but did find less antibiotic resistant organisms and pesticide residues on organic foods. More studies are needed to determine if this has any clinical significance for our health. This echoed a previous analysis. November 27, 2012 at 8:33 am.

Vomiting, Diarrhea, and Our Place in the Universe - The Examining Room of Dr. Charles

The Examining Room of Dr. Charles. Vomiting, Diarrhea, and Our Place in the Universe. July 29, 2013. I’m not sure I can live up to the promise of this post, but as I crouched naked on my hand and knees this weekend, crippled in the 6th hour of profuse diarrhea and vomiting, a few thoughts came to me. First, how woefully miserable it is to feel sick. Not just sniffly-nose-nasal-congestion-sick, but rather the kind of sick that if it went much longer you might question your will to keep suffering. It’...
