Friday, March 15, 2013. The New York Times, aspirin and melanoma, oh my! One of the reasons my blogging has fallen off lately is because I hate sounding like a broken record. Yet here I am again calling this time the New York Times. Well blog on its reporting of, yes, you guessed it, another cancer study. Was published in the journal Cancer. And is, of course, behind a paywall. And the abstract, as always, tells me very little. So I did a little guessing and left this comment on the blog:. We'll see if i...

http://evimedgroup.blogspot.com/2013/03/healing-medicines-moral-injuries-and.html

And a parallel quote from Abe Verghese's. As I was commenting on the Facebook page of On Being.

Tuesday, September 18, 2012. ACOG's dysmenorrhea FAQs: Evidence of propaganda? I have been looking up information on endometriosis for a friend of mine, and came upon this. From the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:. Why, you ask, do these ACOG FAQs on dysmenorrhea remind me of my schooling in the old country? Well, glad you asked. Check out this gem, for example:. That's it. No follow-up questions? Wait, isn't that a surgical procedure? Important to the patient? You may think that all...

A sciencey blog for the curious ape. January 5, 2013 in fun. It’s been almost a year since I last posted. Oh, how time has escaped me. I’ll be updating this blog more often now. Could I make it up to you if I showed beautiful photos of Oahu and Kauai? Well then… we’ve struck a deal. Perhaps the most intriguing and resplendent tree specimen in Oahu. A coastline cemented in my memory. Hanalei Bay, settling into the afternoon. Waimea Canyon in Kauai, drenched in dryness and mist. The Na Pali coast. That&#82...
