My journey of missed journaling opportunities in the world of medicine
An excerpt from Medicine on Fire: A Narrative Travelogue. I regret not keeping a diary or journal to write about patient encounters and interactions with peers, residents and attendings, not to mention the sundry characters connected to the academic health center where I trained and practiced. Had I done that, I would have had a Read more… My journey of missed journaling opportunities in the world of medicine originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

2024 Intentions
After nearly 20 years of blogging about self-development, this year I intend to contribute mainly through video instead of writing, which is a big change for me. I want this to be the first year that I publish more new videos than articles. I’ll still share new YouTube videos via my blog, but if you’re into YouTube, you may want to subscribe to my channel there. In this first new video of 2024, I also reveal many other intentions; recent decisions; and updates about psychedelics explorations, Conscious Growth Club, the new Engage course, and more. I recorded this one mainly for long-term members of this comm...

What ’ s in a name?
What names we give the flora and fauna. Names are critical for scientific discourse and general conversation alike. They can be weird and wonderful, informative, confusing, hilarious even, and sometimes baffling. While common, or vernacular, names vary wildly, science, of course, has a relatively standardised method of naming living things. The common format, which is often colloquially known as the Latin name, is to have the species in a genus, a family group, and then to follow that genus name with the species name. For example, in the UK, we might talk of the Snowdrop, or the Common Snowdrop. This delicate plant with wh...

The Future Of Cognitive Health: This Is How Digital Health Can Help
According to this study, digital healthcare technologies offer ways to manage and slow down the progression of conditions like dementia and mild cognitive impairment.

The goal of the study was to identify different types of digital health technologies used for dementia and mild cognitive impairment and evaluate how the results are measured and aligned with their intended purposes.  A total of 13...

Sunday Sermonette: What's this doing in the Bible?
Psalm 45 is apparently written to celebrate a royal wedding. It starts with a panegyric to the king, then introduces the bride and exhorts her to renounce her family and country of origin. RSV translates the word " Shoshannim " as Lilies, which would apparently refer to a melody, but some think it actually refers to a musical instrument. In any event, nobody has any idea what this has to do with the sons of Korah, although it seems to me the most likely explanation is that they are a guild of musicians, or perhaps even a specific band -- the New Christie Minstrels of the day. Notably, there is no theological content, ...
