When life happens … .
Most of my writing comes from mulling over recent events as played out either in social media or research findings. Today’s post is a little different. It’s no secret that I live with persistent pain, fibromyalgia to be exact. I’ve found that being open about my diagnosis, and that all the strategies I advise to others are also strategies I employ, and that none of them are ‘the secret.’
I posted recently about a struggle I have dealing with reviewer’s comments on papers I submit for publication. Now peer review is a thing, I think it’s a good thing though somewhat exploitative ...

How Digital Transformation is Moving Patient Care Forward and its Impact on Hospitals
The following is a guest article by Dave Bennett, CEO at pCare
Digital transformation has become a popular buzzword, but it’s more complicated than just that.
