Analyzing Dreams - To Find The Truth
by Amitt Parikh
About Me View My Posts
Every night we go to sleep and witness many dreams. We almost spend our one-third life in sleeping. Whether you are able to remember your dreams or not, everybody dreams and it's a fact. I have been conscious of my dreams since past few years and wondered their complex stories and how they would perfectly reflect my state of beliefs, desires, fears, and aspirations working as a perfect mirror of my... 11/8/2009 11:36:58 AM

Swine Flu: H1N1
by Donald McGee
About Me View My Posts
Just FYI: As an ER physician, I am seeing Influenza A, H1N1 variety, every day. This virus has a very common and rapid onset constellation of symptoms: slight sore throat, a rapidly developing cough with bronchial "burning," fever, headache, and muscle aches. There are effective antiviral medications you can take early on, IF you can get to your physician ASAP. After 48 hours from the starting of symptoms,... 10/30/2009 7:00:00 AM

Generation E: Some Ways to Deal with Stress
by Janet_Levine
About Me View My Posts
Stress is pervasive in our lives. Therefore it is not a question of how to avoid stress, but rather how to deal with stress. Stress does not lessen as you grow older, it simply takes different forms. Here are two examples. The high school juniors I teach are stressed because academically this is the year that will decide which college they will enter in 2011. So many students apply early action or... 10/26/2009 2:26:04 PM

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life! That is probably my favorite saying! What would the world be like if we all started every day thinking that. I think there would be more smiles and less road rage. More kindness and less impatience. Maybe, you'd even find that you'd be nicer to yourself. Start the day with a positive saying. What we've done in the past is.. just that, in the past. Mistakes... 10/18/2009 5:18:23 PM

Healthcare reform and hypogonadism - Part 2
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Before we get started, a little background. The gonads of women (ovaries) and of men (testicles) produce all of the same hormones, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, dhea and more. When 1 or 2 gonadal hormones fall below normal levels the resulting illness is called hypogonadism. When 3 or more gonadal hormones fall below normal levels the resulting illness is called profound hypogonadism. Hypogonadism... 10/17/2009 11:52:50 PM

Concept of Personal Care Communities on Wellness.com

About Me View My Posts
Thanks Greta, TMorros, Walknred, B Your Best, Beth: Nice responses. I would hope that Congress does address the private insurance market and make it more competitive as, at the moment, local insurance companies capture vast amounts of revenue and are more interested in their investments than patient care it would seem. They outsource any preventive measures to far distant companies that offer nurses... 10/2/2009 7:00:00 AM

I had a nice meeting today with which I hope forms a part of the start up core of the Personal Care Community. I met "Steve" and "Teresa" and others who are more interested in a website that gives people choices and supports consumer directed health care. It's a huge hurtle to think of ways for people to change their ways, but often it takes small tools, education, and support to head in the direction... 9/29/2009 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
If you suffer from chronic headaches, you are not alone. According to the National Headache Foundation, more than 45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches and almost 30 million suffer from migraines. Headaches are one of the top 10 reasons why people visit doctors in the United States and are responsible for 157 million lost workdays each year. Headaches diminish your quality of life and... 9/24/2009 3:14:36 PM

Generation E: Back to School Lessons By Janet Levine We are in that mode again. Either already back at school, or anticipating the change from the summer months to the academic year. This is true for students, teachers, parents and anyone who is involved in any way in the educational system. Come the inevitable cycling of the seasons from summer to fall and we all experience an inner realization of... 9/24/2009 9:25:43 AM

Personal Care Community (Design) Death in the ER
by Donald McGee
About Me View My Posts
I am about to head off to another ER shift. I was witnessed to a poignant event last night as a woman went through the transition of death right in front of me as her loved ones stood in witness and support. It is so common in emergency medicine to have the last moments of life in the ER-- right in the middle of many other, much more mundane events going on. I count myself privileged to live and work... 9/15/2009 7:00:00 AM
