Misconception - “Health care reform” will improve the delivery of care and offer us better care opportunities.

In fact, healthcare reform is not about healthcare; it is mostly about paying for medical care for the uninsured and only somewhat about the rising costs of medical care. I use the term medical care here to emphasize that today American “healthcare” is all about treating disease and injury and very little about promoting wellness and preventing illness. The reforms being proposed are about addressing the financing of medical care but not the quality, the safety or the way that healthcare will… Continue

Russia Claims Huge Spiral Over Norway Was Due to Failed Missile Launch

Observers in northern Norway Wednesday morning witnessed a bizarre spiral appear in the sky at around 7:49 a.m. They first saw a blue light soar up from over a mountain to a north. The light then paused in midair and began circling. Before long, like the closing scene from the Japanese horror film Uzumaki, a massive spiral had filled the air.

Then came a brilliant… Continue

Misconception - Healthcare reform will have an impact on the advances in medical science.

This sounds logical but there are frankly amazing advances in medicine that are around the corner no matter what “reform” occurs. These advances are related to our national commitment to basic science and to engineering and computer science developments and their translation to clinical care. The National Institutes of Health, research organizations such as our medical schools, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and the medical device industry are constantly bringing forth new… Continue

FORMAL SUITS ARE STILL REACHABLE, SO DON’T SWEAT

So, I have a friend back in high school that I met yesterday and we sort of had coffee on a shop near my place. We talked about things in college (because he went to a different university and took up a different course) and other random things until he brought up the formal party he’s about to attend later that evening. He was having some problems finding suits that are not that so expensive because he’s currently cost-cutting because of the global recession (who’s not?). So I gave him some… Continue
