I just went through...
I just went through Google Health today for the first time and it seems easy to use however there are somethings that are missing that might be helpful to a physician. Those things include a patient’s past medical histories, their family history, and social histories, which we often take during our initial interview. It also seems like the database has no way to time and date notes...

RITE of passage
My mindless memorization fest is finally over and now I can focus on fellowship apps, research and other various projects including putting together a lego version of the SDF-1 with full transforming abilities(see above). I’m in the process of putting together a plan of attack for this project. Any ideas?!?!? I also have obtained a wii which took a week longer than I expected…from...

Mechanical Wild Animal Park
These guys are building a bunch of “Jules Verne” -esque mechanical creatures to put together a wild animal park…kind of like a safari of robo-animals. Really cool… ]]>
Drug Company Swag
I thought this (click for the article) was an interesting article on the swag (aka “mostly” junk, pens, clock, post-it notes etc…) that drug companies hand out to us on a daily basis. But it made me wonder how much paper they must shell out to us too. Most of which ends up in the garbage and not even looked at… Rather than having a system wide removal of all things with...
Glass Houses and Stone Throwing
Comedian Dimitri Martin made an interesting point and joke with a phrase many neurologists use to assess a patients mental state and that I will surely overthink here. He said that the expression, “people in glass houses should’nt throw stones”, but the policy should be not to throw stones regardless…because throwing stones is just not cool, you could hurt someone. Except...
Doogie Howser, MD
I just heard that the first “indian-american” was elected Louisiana’s Governor. That’s very cool. I always knew that it would happen someday; I just didn’t think it would happen this soon. However, I’m a bit intrigued and puzzled by two things in this article and about Jindal. It states that he converted from Hindism to the Catholic faith as a teenager…I...
Bad ass car....no, not the nano
This reminds me of a go-cart on steroids…And I’m not talking methylpredinosolone!

More ridiculous ads (and not in a funny, hilarious...
I saw an ad today asking if I’ve “got excess body fat” (no, actually I need all the body fat I’ve got) and then tells me that fat is “ugly and disgusting.” And then pitches to have the watcher start a non FDA approved supplement called cylaris, not to be confused with cialis (a drug that wants you to get chubby, but only in a specific location). They should...

Medpedia
I signed up for a website called Medpedia.com it’s like Sermo in that it is a social network for physician divided by medical issues. I don’t think it pays like sermo, which isn’t great but atleast I don’t feel like I’m being exploited somehow… Tell me what you think in comparison to Sermo…I couldn’t join Sermo because I’m a lowly resident...
New Radioshack Ads
Is it really necessary for retailer radioshack to tell me to “Do Stuff”…don’t I get enough of that from my mother?
