About Me View My Posts
You can tell it’s October, and it’s certainly not because of fall-like temperatures in Los Angeles, or even because pumpkin-flavoring has temporarily become a daily dietary supplement. We’re used to all that. What seems more prevalent than before are omnipresent spikes in use of the color pink, particularly as a fashion accessory, and a definite uptick in non-pejorative use of the word “ta-tas” in... 10/5/2014 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Having been an Emergency Room physician for more years than I care to admit, I've been keeping a close eye on the Ebola news as many of you I'm sure. Ebola has now spread beyond Africa with the first USA case now in Texas and the exposed family is under close observation--no surprise. All viruses know “how to get around” and the Ebola virus-- probably from African Fruit Bats-- has infected humans... 10/1/2014 7:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
These days you cannot take a chance on just any doctor. You need to find a doctor that is not only keeping up with the latest technologies and treatment options, but who is also caring and self-involved. Beyond that, you need to get off the old adage that all doctors are equally-competent; in fact, run away from any physician that is guilty of one or more of the following infractions: 1. Fails to... 9/26/2014 7:00:00 AM

In addition to a healthy diet, you need at least 150 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise every week. Thirty minutes a day, five days a week, is a good goal to keep. It doesn’t need to be in the gym, though the treadmill and other cardio... 9/21/2014 7:00:00 AM

This is one of many examples of how the technology in smartphones is improving our lives through prevention, well-being support,... 9/12/2014 12:00:00 AM
