poem
 Desert SilenceThe dead silence of the desertDraws us here for the serenityBut most cannot bear for longThis soundless deaf austeritySometimes it ’s so quietI start to hear thingsThat aren ’t really thereJust to fill in the voidBrain unable to weatherThe utter absconsion of soundFrom such vast desolationUnfurling to brown mountains In far off hazy distancesIt gets to be too muchI have to retreat From all the noiseAnd return to the benign Tumult of everyday life 8/7/22 (Source: Buckeye Surgeon)

160 Kindness Quotes to Help You Live a Happier and Kinder Life
A simple but often underappreciated way to live a happier life is through kindness. So in this post I’d like to share the most powerful and best kindness quotes I’ve found in the past 10+ years. Thoughts from the past 2500 years about kindness and care for others but also towards yourself. But first, why is kindness so powerful? Well, here’s three of my favorite reasons that I keep in mind and that helps me to try to be a kinder person: 1. I get what I give. Most people will over time tend to treat you as you treat them. 2. If I'm kinder towards others then I tend to be kinder towards myself. I’ve found that the...

US Cardiac electrophysiologists meet reimbursement reality and don ’t like it.
By ANISH KOKA It’s been a while but Anish Koka, a one time regular writer on THCB and occasional THCB Gang member, is back publishing up a storm on his Substack channel. You may recall that his political and clinical views don’t always mesh with some of the wooly liberals we feature on THCB (cough, cough, me), but we are delighted to be back publishing some of his pieces–this one is on reimbursement.–Matthew Holt The subspecialty of Cardiology known as electrophysiology has seen explosive growth over the last few decades in large part because of a massive expansion in the suite of procedur...

Does the Aging of the Gut Microbiome Contribute Meaningfully to Hearing Loss?
In today's open access paper, researchers discuss the link between the gut microbiome, chronic inflammation in aging, and the onset of age-related hearing loss due to hair cell death and destruction of axons connecting hair cells to the brain. It is definitively the case that changes in the balance of microbial populations in the intestine contributes to rising inflammation in older individuals. But how significant is this effect in comparison to other sources of chronic inflammation, such as excess visceral fat tissue, senescent cells, molecular waste and debris resulting from cell death and dysfunction due to other proce...

George SelginThanks to the Roosevelt Recession, in the spring of 1938 the New Deal ' s " Keynesians " finally found themselves in the saddle, displacing the planners, reformers, and trust-busters whose legislative efforts had already run out of steam some months before. The Keynesians ' rise was symbolized by the $3 billion spending program FDR announced during hisfireside chat that April.[1]But the crisis that gave Keynesians the upper hand also proved fatal to the Roosevelt administration ' s more ambitious plans, Keynesian or otherwise. Thanks to it, voters sent many Democrats, and New Deal democrats especially, packing...

Every intern encounters moments of patient care that become poignant memories
“I am so sorry…” My apology diffused as I stood adjacent to the IV pole, triangulated between Ms. S, her husband, and her daughter.
