“I love Scandinavian consumer goods”. I actually had a dream about that phrase last night. It is clearly because I spent the better part of the afternoon installing an Elfa shelving system in our utility room. Now, I’m a left-handed Jew, which puts me in the highest possible risk group for causing […]

As I sit here on the BMT floor for another night’s call, I have the makings of what will likely be a lengthy essay stirring around in my mind. Much has happend over the past 48 hours at the hospital - much of it important enough to me to want to put it into words.
However, […]

As I was doing my daily cell culture work, I had WBUR on the radio and heard three particularly good science and/or medicine-related stories.
First was an interesting piece on the potential for corporations outsourcing major surgeries for their insured employees to countries such as Thailand or India. Now, while this probably hasn’t happened much, […]

This is my favorite site that I came across today: Benjamin Frankin’s Plan for Future Conduct. It’s not nearly as severe as William Bennett’s rant. It’s nice, mild even. Definitely worth a look.
