Geez At The Spam!
Great Gatsby! I turn my back for a second and my comment box is FULL of spam comments! Doesn't anyone leave legitimate comments anymore? It seems like most of coming from overseas too. Ugh!Since I haven't personally updated about me in a while, here goes....I am to be a Noni again soon and it's a girl! My daughter has picked out Virginia Lynn as the name so far. She's due on her brother's birthday.Work is a crazy as ever and we are still looking for a physician to join the practice but haven't found any that want to work in a small rural town.

Certified Medical Assistants Calling Themselves Nurses
I was recently seeing a patient in my office and a family member was in during the visit and was asking some very interesting questions. Since she was knowledgeable, I asked if she was in the medical field somewhere. She said that she was a nurse. I asked her what type of nurse she was and she told me that she was a CMA (certified medical assistant).

Signs and Symptoms Of Teen Drug Use
Unfortunately, I see signs and symptoms of teen drug use in Family practice. It causes so many repercussions that can last a lifetime.

Even if they want to start over, it will be difficult for you to tell if they really mean it. This can cause hard feelings on both parts. It's important that you use a professional to help you through the situation. I often tell my patients that it is a two way street and that it will be a ...
