It ’ s not only rock and roll
We were quite content with vinyl. Indeed, aside from the occasional warped record and friends who didn’t hold them properly by the edges, we loved our US import 45s, our double gatefold sleeve live rock albums and our picture discs. We put up with the crackles and pops and built our bedroom collections. We lent our vinyl to friends, despite their not understanding about sleeve liner orientation and they lent us theirs. We recorded them on to cassette when we couldn’t the latest and greatest and we made mixtapes, the playlisting of a Generation X. They even tried to stop us by telling us that “Home taping ...

Balancing the roles of patient and healer
“Holly, we’re really worried about you. You’ve been sleeping for days. Let us take you to the school clinic.” I looked up at a figure in the bedroom door surrounded by a light that hurt my eyes. It was my college roommate, a sweet girl from North Carolina who had put up with my shit

5 Big Trauma Scene Mistakes You Can Avoid
We all have our good calls and our bad calls. Don’t we? Sometimes things just flow. Sometimes the patient, the bystanders, the crew members, everyone just clicks. And it’s beautiful. It’s like that perfect drive off the tee box that keeps you coming back for another round. The three point jumper that makes you wonder if you should have tried to play college ball.
Unfortunately (perhaps) it is the rare scene that runs flawlessly. More often than not we look back on our calls and think about the things we could have, and should have done better. Of course, that’s how it should be. Without those moments we don’t ...

A doctor explains 10 misconceptions about abortion
The recent case of a fourteen-year-old girl being denied her medications for arthritis highlights that the Roe v. Wade decision has far-reaching consequences for women and girls. Disturbingly, the Supreme Court’s decision allowing for abortion bans also contains several factual errors. As a doctor, I think it is important that we understand the facts about abortion. I

Sunday Sermonette: Now for something completely different
While the previous chapter was basically lifted from Samuel, this one is not. 2 Samuel 6 tells of David bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, but the accompanying details in Chronicles are not in Samuel at all. We see the Chronicler ' s obsessive interest in lists of names here, but also an interest in orthodoxy. The idea that only the Levites can carry the Ark is not in Samuel, but it ' s a major emphasis here. Samuel also lacks all of the details about the musicians and the music. On the other hand this version very much downplays Micah ' s displeasure at seeing David dance. It ' s briefly mentioned at the end but not expl...

Addressing the Mental Health Crisis in Kids: Collaboration and Technology Are Key
The following is a guest article by Serrah Linares, Vice President of Partner Sales at Change Healthcare, and Rachel Mack Robinson, Founder and President at DotCom Therapy.
Children in America were increasingly struggling with mental health before COVID-19, but the pandemic compounded an already growing crisis. Today in the U.S., nearly one in five children experience a mental health disorder. What’s just as alarming is that for every five children with a mental health disorder, only one will receive treatment.
In October 2021, leading pediatric healthcare associations declared a national emergency in child and adolescen...

Chest pain in children – Cardiology Basics
Chest pain in children – Cardiology Basics
Even though chest pain in children is a common symptom, unlike in adults it is seldom due to heart disease. Most often the cause of chest pain in children is not a major life threatening disease. Still chest pain can cause restriction of activities, absence from school and cause of anxiety to children and their parents.
A good history and physical examination can give a lot of information to exclude any potentially serious condition causing chest pain, though it is rare. Costochondritis is a common cause of chest pain in adolescent and preadolescent girls. It can b...

How Technology Can Help Overcome Barriers to Getting Effective Therapies into Patients with Ultra Rare Disorders
The following is a guest article by Dr. Zach Landman, Co-Founder of Moonshots for Unicorns.
As a physician who trained at UCSF, Harvard, and Stanford, I assumed that when my youngest daughter, Lucy – at 10-months old – was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic disorder of glycosylation called PGAP3, the answers would reside within a hospital or academic laboratory.
Unfortunately, my pediatrician wife and I were told that our smiling, seemingly healthy babbling 10-month-old baby would likely never walk normally, never talk, and was likely to develop severe and refractory seizures at some point in her childhood. ...

Dick Tater
The American right has long admired Vladimir Putin. The Former Guy ' s groveling to him is of course notorious. Many ascribe it to blackmail, and that might be part of it, but admiration for autocracy among American conservatives is real. Just witness the love for Hungarian strong manVictor Orban, who headlined the recent Conservative Political Action Conference. American conservatives particularly admire Putin because he symbolizes for them a form of machismo that they equate with national power and military effectiveness. Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted last year that “[p]erhaps a woke, emasculated military is not...
