The erosion of patient care
The Black Eyed Peas asked, “Where is the love?” and that’s what I wonder, too. As medicine – oops, I’m supposed to say “health care” – has become more and more corporate, what has been slipping away is the love. What do I mean by that? There were specific ways we old docs were trained

poem
Dick TricksIn college I knew a guy named Cochran who could do dick tricks. You had to be well endowed, obviously. Late night, he ’d whip it out in front of everyone—fraternity brothers and sorority girls alike—and go through his catalog of phallic machinations. There was the “Sad Turtle”. The “Basset Hound”. The “Gentlemen’s Curtsy”. He had one called the “Watusi” which I couldn’t ever bear to watch. “Grandma’s Tongue” was a perennial favorite. He would unfurl his redundant scrotal skin into a flat, dry, slightly hairy flap of dirty pink, sort of like your grandma’s tongue when...

Answer to Case 719
Answer to theParasite of the Week 719:Cyclosporasp. oocysts. WhileCryptosporidiumspp. oocysts have a similar appearance, they are smaller thanCyclosporaoocysts, measuring only 4-6 micrometers in diameter. Note thatCyclospora oocysts do not stain uniformly with either the modified acid fast or modified safranin methods, although there tends to be fewer unstained oocysts with the latter. The microwave modification of the safranin stain will also improve the staining uniformity (see the CDC procedureHERE).As Dr. Marc Couturier pointed out on Twitter, there are now three morphologically-identical species o...

poem
LatchkeyI was a latchkey kid.I was self reliant.I wasn ’t afraid of the emptiness of home.We ’d barge through the foyer shouting, bickering, Flip on the TV, fill the clock ticking silence with sound.Noise as a way of forgetting you're alone.I could do what I wantedI liked being alone I could run and shout,Boss my little sisters Pound the basketball against the cement,Chuck a tennis ball against a cinder block wall That had a strike zone chalked in the middle,At least until mom got homeAnd had to take her nap.I preferred being alone.I didn ’t wear the key around my neckDangling from a red yar...

New dietary guidelines: Any changes for infants, children, and teens?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has published new dietary guidelines to help Americans get and stay healthier across all parts of the lifespan. Babies and toddlers are included for the first time, because the recommendations cover our full lifespan.
The guidelines are called “Make Every Bite Count.” If we want to get and stay healthy, we shouldn’t be eating foods that are basically empty calories — or worse, foods that actually do us harm.
Because foods can do us harm. Eating an unhealthy diet can lead to obesity, with the cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and everything else...

How to Tell if Tomatillos Are Ripe? Read on to Know It Once and for All
Conclusion
It isn’t hard to know when your tomatillos are ripe. You just need to look at the husks. If the husks turn darker and it burst open, exposing the fruit, you will know that it is ripe and ready to be picked.

What the Long-Married Have in Common
I have been fortunate to know many couples who have been married 40 years or more. In some couples, the two are like the proverbial two peas in a pod. Sometimes the two are so different, it makes other people marvel that they have been together for decades. Over the last year, I’ve been talking to 7 married couples who are happily together after many, many years to see if there are any identifiable commonalities among them.
There are. Straight or gay, regardless of background, the people in each couple have shared ideas of what they expect from themselves and each other. It may sound unromantic, but early on they made ...
