How to “Get More Done”

Categories Medical, Musings

The tick-tock of the clock is painful, all sane and logical.  I want to tear it off the wall.  Eve 6 “Get More Done” I used to think about time differently.  For a while I thought I accomplished more in a day in my youth than I do now, but no, I simply have added…Continue Reading “How to “Get More Done”” →

Clot Busters

Categories Medical, Musings

There is no better place to watch science in action than in the world of medicine. It was discovered in the 1930’s that blood, in the presence of a certain streptococcus bacteria, did not clot.

My advice for a happy marriage? Go to bed angry.

I will always wonder

Categories Medical

I was on vacation when she died.  I’m not sure that not being on vacation would’ve made a difference, but I’ve often played the scenario through to a different end.  She called in on the morning of her death complaining of a bad headache.  When questioned about neurologic symptoms, there were none and she didn’t…Continue Reading “I will always wonder” →
