From Coffee Beans to Medical Disease: A Suggestion to Spend Your Gap Years
Through my journey to find a haven for studying as well as easy access to caffeine, staying at coffee shops became my tradition in preparation for all of my classes as both an undergraduate and medical student. To this day, my best work comes amid the backdrop of ambient chatter and the grinding of espresso beans. At one point, I spent so much time at my coffee shop that the baristas knew my order (white tea with peach juice and stevia!), readied my drink before I walked in, and even invited me to after-work outings.

Does Botox reduce the frequency of chronic migraine?
Doesn’t it seem like Botox is showing up everywhere as a medical treatment? Botox is a brand of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), a protein substance originally derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In its original form it was the toxin responsible for botulism, the paralyzing illness often caused by eating contaminated food.
BoNT is now used to treat a number of medical conditions including muscle spasms, excessive sweating, overactive bladder, and some eye muscle conditions. However, one of its most common uses is in the preventive treatment of chronic migraine. Chronic migraine, defined as headache occurring mo...
