2024 Intentions
After nearly 20 years of blogging about self-development, this year I intend to contribute mainly through video instead of writing, which is a big change for me. I want this to be the first year that I publish more new videos than articles. I’ll still share new YouTube videos via my blog, but if you’re into YouTube, you may want to subscribe to my channel there.
In this first new video of 2024, I also reveal many other intentions; recent decisions; and updates about psychedelics explorations, Conscious Growth Club, the new Engage course, and more. I recorded this one mainly for long-term members of this comm...

Medical malpractice or miscarriage of justice? A doctor ’ s ordeal.
In 1999, Sally Clark was convicted of murder. Her son, Christopher, had been born in September of 1996 and by all accounts, had been a healthy baby. Just three months later, an ambulance was called to the home, and the baby was dead. The mother, Sally, said that she had just put him to bed

Radiology and Cardiology Technology
The world of healthcare IT is ever-evolving. It seems as though every day there is a new piece of technology to talk about or an exciting update/new approach to old technology. Staying on top of all of this news for every piece of technology or area in healthcare can very quickly become overwhelming. This in turn almost always results in a development, new release, or even an entire area of healthcare left behind and forgotten. So today we are going to take a little pause to focus in on technology for radiology and cardiology. To get some insights on what is actively being done in these two fields of healthcare IT, we reac...

There ’ s no place for “ benevolent deception ” in obstetrics
When I was 36 weeks pregnant with my second child, Anna, my obstetrician noted that my fetus had a disproportionately small head, or microcephaly—a condition now commonly known because of its association with the Zika virus. “We’ll just have to wait and see,” he said, meaning we’ll look for answers if the baby is affected

Will We All Have To Become Biologically Enhanced Superhumans?
Okay, hands up who can tell who’s the most famous biologically enhanced superhuman in the world? True, it’s a quite close call between Captain America and The Incredible Hulk (sorry Spidey, you’re not even close). But are human-invented superhumans just a thing of a Stan Lee comic, or is it an actual scientific idea from a real laboratory?
As a matter of fact, enhancing human capabilities has been on the minds of people for ages, but it has come a long way from ancient training methods to exoskeletons. Enhancing our abilities, be it permanently or temporarily is a tempting but risky matter. Will it be possibl...

Orange, Green, and Red – The Colors of Tribalism
BY MIKE MAGEE
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, let’s give thanks for the study of history, in part because it reminds us that Trumpian words like “vermin” have been used before and serve to alert the human race that we have entered danger zone
One President who understood the power of words more than many others was FDR. When he structured up “a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms and regulations…to provide support for farmers, the unemployed, youth and the elderly”, he memorably packaged the plan under the label, “The New Deal.”
Seizing alliteration in 1933, he further ...

Lawns of AutumnWe sweep the leavesFrom our lawnsLike common trashHeap them in brown pilesNext to garbage cans Down by the curbAfter all they ’ve done And still could doBy noon they ’re gone All that ’s left Is a pale yellow slashOf asphyxic grassWhen it snows We stay insideMake love, drink wineSwaddle our boysAs babies then send Them off to war11/14/23 (Source: Buckeye Surgeon)

The Voice of Democracy is Young and Female.
By MIKE MAGEE
“Don’t call me a saint,” said founder of the early1930’s Catholic Workers Movement, Dorothy Day. “I don’t want to be dismissed that easily.” Oddly enough, says Jesuit writer, James Martin, “That quote is probably the biggest obstacle to her canonization…Given that quote, would Dorothy really want to be canonized?”
Today’s election results were a sliver of bright light in what has been a rather dark period. But it is at times like this that quiet heroes emerge. If courage has a face, this morning, as results across the land show a sweeping victory for Democrats, and specifically tho...

3D Printing In Medicine And Healthcare – The Ultimate List
3D printing has demonstrated huge potential for the future of medicine in the previous years, and its development is unstoppable. See the impressive list of 3D-printed healthcare materials and medical equipment below!
How does 3D printing in medicine work?
3D printing in medicine is part of the innovative process called additive manufacturing, which means producing three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. How the technology works, we explained in our article on bioprinting here.
As technology evolves, researchers work on various solutions. For example, engineers from the University of Buffalo have ...

Medicare and Social Security
Since it was a Krugzilla column about the Republican plan to drastically cut Medicare and Social Security benefits, I ' ll let the Krug answer the people who say " But we have to cut these programs, we can ' t afford them, what are the Democrats going to do about it? "Here ' s your gift link. By all means do read, but let me summarize the main points. First, regarding Social Security, the rise in cost resulting from the Baby Boomers retiring and the general aging of the population will actually be pretty modest, from about 4.9% of GDP today to 6.4% in 2052, according to CBO projections. And that ' s assuming that life...

Coping with haunting memories of a patient ’ s loss
“That patient still haunts me,” I heard one of the PICU fellows murmur as he walked out of the auditorium. I wondered if I should have taken comfort after hearing that I was not the only one still struggling with this patient’s death. Despite months passing since this baby died, the memories of this family
