DISQUS

GEE.. I think I know how that feels?...the public's mis-informed opinion??
HHmm.. sounds very familiar. *wink*

I was lucky enough not to fall prey. I was not aware of their activity, especially to this level.
I have seen the Wellsphere badge on numerous blogs I visit.
What a shame.

YUCK YUCK.. thanks for the laugh.

That rocks!
Kerri definitely deserved the winning entry.

Isn't it just amazing that we are now on the threshold of the most obese nation, and all of a sudden diet and health are somehow new??
Hmm?
Could it be that most of the diseases that our nation is suffering from could be thwarted and darn near prevented with just a lil bit of common sense in regards to a healthy diet and exercise.
Grr.

I think there might be more to the story. Or should I say I hope. Very concerning to pick a high profile 'celeb' reporter, when the duty calls for lots of 'GRAVITAS', which is something he might be lacking.
I'll be interested to see how this turns out.
Interested... and a lil worried.

Pretty cool! How do I get my hands on one?

Mistakes, while massively preventable DO happen. That's why they are called mistakes.
The only way of ensuring the continued prevention is full disclosure no matter how minimal or how severe the mistake may be.

While to err is human, to admit your err is humane and just.

That takes my breath away. Nothing can earn you more respect than something as simple as showing you care by doing the job that needs to be done.
STRONG WORK.
Where's that hospital?! I'd work for him.

My thoughts are with you and your health Dr. V. Reality has a really rotten sense of humor when it comes to health.

BWAH HAH HAH..
Now that was funny.
And oh how so true.

First it was McDonald's coffee, now this.
What's next?
Great points made. Great points!

There is a certain level of 'comfort' albeit ~ 'comfort care' I need when receiving medical care.
I would be hard-pressed to entertain the medical tourism idea.
Thanks for the information, as you can tell, I was not aware of this option.

"Retaining EMS, police, firemen, soldiers, sailors, and airmen has been challenging because many of them can’t pass their physical fitness tests due to obesity and sedentary lifestyles" ~ Extremely disheartening and disturbing to learn that this is problem actually exists.
Practice what you preach kind of health care is slipping right through our fingers.
Great post!

I would be willing to guess most patients just 'assume' the quality of their healthcare providers. We as a society will do background checks for babysitters... but yet it's a 'shock' or 'uncommon' practice to check our physician or hospital's credentials.

Very interesting.

Ahh yes. Thanks for the smile.

As of this evening the Better G Reader extenstion (add-on) still does not work properly. You cannot preview any item. I really do hope they fix this.

HAH HAH... you two sound like my wife and I. It comes down to stubbornness.
Heh heh.

Hmm.. I wonder if some of the physicians I've encountered should go back to pre-school for some much needed training.

It's tough out there.

*SMASH*....

*BOOM*...

*WHAM*..
OK.. now that I've picked myself up off the floor. I fell out of my chair laughing so hard.
I had to show my wife.

GENIUS! I Tell ya!
GENIUS!

I don't know Dr V., that lil' story definitely makes you think twice about what activities you perform and what you consume.
Is that really a bad thing?

I can't say I was aware of these benefits.
Thanks for the information.

I literally just read about this earlier this morning from another blog.
Great idea and info for one and all.
I made this a family priority just recently.

Once again we discuss the subtle but major difference between theoretical applied medical science and evidence based practice.
It may sound good.. and even look good. But has it been trialed.
Thanks again for the oh-so appropriate timing of this article.
I for one have known about this treatment for quite some time now.

Boy-oh, Boy-oh, Boy..
This scanner would come in handy for our Trauma patients who are critically ill.
Wow.. that would be nice.
