Additional areas of operating room uses with Google Glass may include:
1. Accessing a near real-time feed of vital signs in Google Glass
2. Calling up images and other patient data by clinicians from anywhere in the hospital

Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball Parody
ZDogMD is getting better with each new video. Keep it up bro.
At least, that’s the argument Dr. Harry made when he sent me the lyrics to Infect Me. Apparently, he was sitting through yet another one of his kid’s kung fu classes, thinking wistfully of Hannah Montana, when BAM. It hit him like a wrecking ball: zombies + medicine + Miley = ZDoggMD. Problem was, it wasn’t twerking for me.
For the original video by Miley Cyrus and his motivation for making this parody please see his blogpost at ZDoggMD

The Lost Beatles Solo
In this video we see Sir George Martin, Giles Martin (his son), and Dhani Harrison listening to the mix of “Here Comes The Sun”.
Suddenly Dhani opens the channel with the “lost solo guitar”. And now, with the master track in the background, you can hear how it sounds in music.
That was George Harrison. A true genius.

Transition to clerkship
For medical students the transition to clerkship can be a “shock of practice”. They usually have to get around in a field very strange to them, due to the stress they almost forget everything they have learned the previous 3-4 years. Thanks to Annemarie Cunningham I came across a third year med students blog.
She wrote an interesting post about: Be nice, be humble, be interested: advice received for clerkship. She has compiled some of the wonderful advice that she has received in a list. She also wrote a post about the transition, worthwhile your time to read.
This post will highlight a few of my trepidations;...

The pros and cons of brain mapping
At the micro-scale the brain is a mess; a thick tangle of nerve cells connected at synapses. Mapping just a tiny portion of this mess, a few hundred cells, is a huge challenge. You have to wonder if it’s worth the effort. But seeing exactly how brain cells are wired together is giving us new insights into brain function.
The scientists in this video found a new neuron in the retina for detecting movement by combining the mapping of the brain and interpreting the fysiology.

My first live encounter with a 3d printer
http://www.shockmd.com/wp-content/3d-printer-Breedband.m4v
Incredible the possible uses for a 3d printer in medicine. Replacing jaw bones or other facial structures after printing the protheses in exact size, making al kinds of research instruments which otherwise could not be made. Didn’t realize these advantages of 3d printers in medicine before.
Until this morning after meeting with Wouter Sjoerdsma, Medical Device Developer at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam. He also writes a blog: Onderzoeksapparatuur in Dutch.
For more information about the use of 3d pinters and medicine see his blog post in Dutch

If this was your mother doc?
‘If This Was Your Mother, Doctor…’, via @nytimes good tip and compelling story http://t.co/jqNobbCguj

Question often asked by relatives when explaining the pros and cons of different treatment options. In order to be able to answer this question one should first have to know the mother since not all mothers are alike…

What’s ZDoggMD up to?
ZDoggMD aka “physician Zubin Damania, Director of Healthcare Development for Downtown Project Las Vegas, has a plan to fight back against a system that can dehumanize doctors and patients alike.”
Admiring his creativity in producing rap videos about medical subjects, just found out what he’s up to in Las Vegas. Impressive project, hope he will continue his health advocacy with his witty and funny rap songs. Reaching out to the new generation.

Not patient centered healthcare but patient collaboration healthcare
Excellent construct with certainly additive value to healthcare.
A strong advocate for peer-to-peer collaboration in health care, Roni Zeiger, MD, believes that networks of highly-motivated, well-informed patients and caregivers empowered by emerging technologies are poised to accelerate scientific discoveries and break down existing silos within the medical community. He calls these patients “micro-experts.”

Google Glass to demonstrate how to begin a patient exam.
This is what I call good use of new technology. Stanford physician Abraham Verghese, MD, developed the Stanford Medicine 25. With the Stanford Medicine 25, residents and students are taught techniques and skills during workshops and while rounding on the wards at Stanford Hospital. The Stanford Medicine 25 website features videos and descriptions of each of the 25 topics. It includes a series of hands-on workshops teaching 25 essential techniques for examining patients.
In this recently posted video, Verghese donned Google Glass and offers a first-person perspective of how he would approach a patient and begin examining t...

Digital Detox from social media
Buffer
Read an interesting article in the NYT: A Trip to Camp to Break a Tech Addiction. It’s about an an adults-only summer camp.It was organized by Digital Detox, an Oakland-based group dedicated to teaching technology-addled (or technology-addicted) people to “disconnect to reconnect”.
The rules of the camp are very simple:
no phones, computers, tablets or watches
no work talk
no discussion of people’s ages
no use of real names.
Is it worth while?
But Camp Grounded, Digital Detox’s biggest event thus far, was designed less to be a spiritual journey than a whimsical return to childhood. Campers, who spent $...

ZDoggMD: A Spoonful of Medical Satire
Buffer
ZDoggMD: A Spoonful of Medical Satire. It’s a music-medicine mashup! Viral video star ZDoggMD shows the audience at TEDMED 2013 that a spoonful of satire can can help folks take health messages seriously.
ZDoggMD brings important information in a way that patients and the younger generation can profit from the information. He uses all kinds of new media to promote the just cause.
Rapper and internist “ZDoggMD” Zubin Damania wants to shake up healthcare with ideas as bold and personable as his satirical videos.
