We had our annual St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday. DF and I are both Irish so we go all out. We had about 30 people over and none of them are Irish so it was a first for them. Not many people in NM are Irish I found out.

outcome. However, not all high-risk preterm infants manifest poor outcomes. Similarly, infants diagnosed with regulatory disorders have been shown to have developmental deficits in childhood. But, again, not all infants with regulatory disorders demonstrate the same pattern of outcome. The model presented in this chapter suggests that measures of nucleus ambiguus vagal tone provide insight into physiological systems underlying complex behaviors. We have focused on interpreting the role of the nervous system in regulating physiological systems. For at-risk newborns, survival is based on their level of self-regulation. Moreover, in all infants, selfregulation of physiological systems provides the infrastructure for more complex levels of self-regulation of behavioral, social, emotional, and cognitive systems.
The assessment methods described in this chapter focus on a specific physiological system originating in the nucleus ambiguus. The nucleus ambiguus is a brain stem nucleus that coordinates sucking, swallowing, vocalizing, and breathing via vagal pathways. By monitoring RSA, it is possible to assess neural regulation competence. According to the hierarchical model, as proposed by Porges ( 1983), baseline measures of VNA assess the first level of competence, which is successful regulation of internal bodily process via neural negative-feedback systems. The vagal response to stimulation/stressors assesses the second level of competence, which is the balance between homeostatic demands and the demands of the stimuli/stressor. The assessment of each of these levels leads to conclusions regarding the likelihood of successful negotiation of the third and fourth levels of competence, reflecting observable behaviors and the coordination of behaviors, respectively. The review of the vagal tone/RSA literature, divided into neonatal and infant/toddler areas, provides evidence in support of the hierarchical model and the usefulness of VNA measures in the prediction of developmental outcome.

It says something about how pampered and passive Americans have become when Congress approves and President Bush signs a bill authorizing a National Do Not Call Registry.
America has become The Country That Forgot How to Hang Up. The nation is so clueless about hardship that citizens believe it's the government's job to protect them from having to answer the phone. We live in the land where voters want government out of their bedroom but inside their phone lines.
Let me stipulate that I dislike telemarketing calls as much as the next person. I don't like running to the phone only to hear a recording trying to sell me something I don't want. I don't like telemarketers who call during mealtime. I don't like salespeople who take advantage of my politeness -- I like to say, "No, thank you" before I sign off -- and try to engage me in a conversation we'll never have.
The thing is, I've found these amazing little tricks I can use to mitigate the problem -- and they don't involve the government. I don't always answer the telephone. I hang up on obnoxious telemarketers. Guess what: They work.
These methods also work on political fund-raisers, pollsters and charity solicitors, all of whom were so conveniently exempted by Washington pols.
So when President Bush announced that the 50 million Americans who have signed the registry "can protect their privacy and their family time from intrusive, annoying, unwelcome commercial solicitations," he conveniently ignored intrusive, annoying unwelcome calls from professional political fund-raisers. You see, they have First Amendment rights.
And don't you just love how Washington politicians equate political fund-raising with soliciting for charity -- as if it's a public service? Last week, a federal judge in Denver issued a ruling that barred enforcement of the registry. "In applying the First Amendment to commercial speech, the Supreme Court has rejected the highly paternalistic view that the government should be involved in assessing the value of, and determining, what consumers should and should not hear," wrote U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham. Since exemptions for charitable solicitors "imposed a content-based limitation on what a consumer may ban from his home," Nottingham found the registry to violate the First Amendment.
The Bush administration has pledged to fight the ruling. In the meantime, the Federal Trade Commission will keep track of violators who could be fined up to $11,000 per illicit phone call or $120,000 per telemarketing firm.

Allergic proctocolitis refractory to maternal hypoallergenic diet in exclusively breast-fed infants: a clinical observation

BMC Gastroenterology 2011, 11:82 doi:10.1186/1471-230X-11-82Published: 16 July 2011
Allergic proctocolitis (APC) in exclusively breast-fed infants is caused by food proteins, deriving from maternal diet, transferred through lactation. In most cases a maternal cow milk-free diet leads to a prompt resolution of rectal bleeding, while in some patients a multiple food allergy can occur. The aim of this study was to assess whether the atopy patch test (APT) could be helpful to identify this subgroup of patients requiring to discontinue breast-feeding due to polisensitization. Additionally, we assessed the efficacy of an amino acid-based formula (AAF) when multiple food allergy is suspected. amino acid-based formula
We have prospectively enrolled 14 exclusively breast-fed infants with APC refractory to maternal allergen avoidance. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopy with biopsies. Skin prick tests and serum specific IgE for common foods, together with APTs for common foods plus breast milk, were performed. After a 1 month therapy of an AAF all patients underwent a follow-up rectosigmoidoscopy.
Prick tests and serum specific IgE were negative. APTs were positive in 100% infants, with a multiple positivity in 50%. Sensitization was found for breast milk in 100%, cow's milk (50%), soy (28%), egg (21%), rice (14%), wheat (7%). Follow-up rectosigmoidoscopy confirmed the remission of APC in all infants.
These data suggest that APT might become a useful tool to identify subgroups of infants with multiple gastrointestinal food allergy involving a delayed immunogenic mechanism, with the aim to avoid unnecessary maternal dietary restrictions before discontinuing breast-feeding.

Cover the Uninsured Week raises awareness about uninsured Americans.
Download in Adobe PDF
ALEXANDRIA, VA, March 9, 2010 — The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is urging residents across the country to contact their local elected officials and members of the media to draw attention to the problem of the nation's uninsured during "Cover the Uninsured Week," March 14-20.
APTA is a supporting organization of the observance, designed to raise awareness of the plight of 46 million uninsured Americans, including 9 million children, and the effect it is having on the country's health care system. The observance comes at a critical time as final health reform legislation is currently being considered by Congress.
"Physical therapists are acutely aware of the impact that the lack of health insurance has on the needs of our patients," said APTA President R Scott Ward, PT, PhD. "The health of our patients is our number one priority; we are happy to join in the pursuit of raising awareness about the plight our fellow uninsured Americans and how we can be part of the solution."
For online resources and more information on how you can join this effort, visit www.covertheuninsured.org.

By Erik Wasson - 01/26/11 06:19 PM EST
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Wednesday said the Senate will not pass spending legislation that contains earmarks, even though he personally opposes banning the practice.
The Democrat said that he does not think Obama will have to make good on his threat in the State of the Union to veto any legislation that contains earmarked spending.
"[House Speaker] Boehner is not going to send a bill over with earmarks, and we are out of the business of earmarks," he said.
A ban on earmarked spending would give "the president more power, and he's got enough power already," Reid said Tuesday.
Durbin spoke after a press conference called with Senate Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to denounce a Republican Study Committee proposal unveiled last week to cut $2.5 trillion in spending over 10 years.
Schumer said that after surveying federal agencies, Democrats found the plan would result in the loss of 1 million jobs, two-thirds of those in the private sector.
The lost jobs would include 4,000 FBI agents and 3,000 food safety inspectors, Schumer said.
The senators said that budget cutting must be done in a carefully considered manner. Durbin compared the GOP's budget-cutting moves to someone swinging wildly at a piñata.
The Illinois Democrat is meeting this week with Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), and Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), all of whom served on the debt commission, to try to find a bipartisan Senate plan on the deficit.
Durbin said Obama had taken the first step toward tackling budget deficits in the State of the Union by proposing a five -year freeze in domestic discretionary spending. He said, however, he is still studying this "painful" proposal for its exact effects.
He said he believes the president is moving toward embracing the combination of cuts and tax increases proposed by the deficit commission last month, for which Durbin voted as a member of the commission.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - The first ever 'Coal Bowl Invitational' was held on the University of Pikeville campus on Saturday.
The academic meet was put on through a partnership between the University of Pikeville, Mullins School, and CEDAR, Inc. Eight schools were represented at the competition.
Jeanne Caudill is in charge of Mullins School's coal study program and says, "As part of my coal study unit we said we were going to have an acedemic meet where all the questions are basked upon knowledge of the coal industry."
Christie Thompson, an academic team coach, explains the meet, "We are asking anything related to the coal industry; vocabulary, spelling, math, arts and humanities, with any music related to coal, geography, things about coal towns, anything coal related is fair game."
The teams first competed in pool play, then a single elimination bracket was formed. Dorton Elementray won the competition.

The Economist: Water worries

One of the biggest challenges facing Texas is the supply of fresh water. In some parts of the state, there have been notable improvements since the historic drought of 2011, but in others, the situation remains critical.
Furthermore, even if the current drought conditions resolve, there is still the issue of increasing the water supply enough to deal with future population and economic growth. By 2040, my latest forecast indicates the addition of more than 13.6 million new residents and almost $2.0 trillion in real gross product, resulting in a need for more water. Finding answers won't be easy (or cheap), but the alternative is far worse.
The latest report from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB--the state agency charged with the task of monitoring the water situation and planning for future needs) is a case of bad news-good news. First, the bad news. Reservoirs in much of the state remain alarmingly empty. The High Plains (Panhandle) region is the worst off, with conservation storage standing at less than 2%, and a big swath of West Texas falls into either the 22%- or 39%-of-capacity categories. The low levels are also affecting major urban areas, with the South Central area (which includes Austin) standing at 48%. Southern region reservoirs are only 36% full.
Groundwater, the other major source of fresh water, is also in short supply. The state's nine major aquifers comprise about 60% of water used. Nearly 80% of the water is for irrigation, with most of it coming from the Ogallala Aquifer (which in Texas lies beneath much of the Panhandle and southward). Unfortunately, the Ogallala has been dropping quite rapidly for decades, with recharge far too slow to offset withdrawals. The current pattern cannot continue forever, and major disruptions to the economies (and families) of these areas is inevitable if the wells are drained.
Metropolitan areas also rely on groundwater for about 36% of water needs. A monitor well in San Antonio measured the Edwards Aquifer at 90.91 feet below the surface, just barely above the level at which Stage 3 critical management restrictions kick in. Stage 3 mandates a 35% reduction in annual pumping amounts allowed for those with permits (including municipal water suppliers); Stage 3 measures were in force earlier this year before rain allowed some relief. If levels keep dropping, so will the amounts of water which can be withdrawn. At least the Edwards Aquifer does tend to recharge quickly with rainfall (unlike the Ogallala), so a few soaking rains can make a big difference.
There is (fortunately) a little bit of good news. Rain in late May did generate some runoff, boosting total reservoir storage by more than 240,000 acre-feet over the month. June was also about 627,000 acre-feet better than a year prior. Streamflow conditions are near or above normal in all but the westernmost portion of the state, and a few monitor wells indicate rising groundwater levels.
Only a few inches of rain would make a lot of difference in drought levels as measured by the NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), but it would take up to a foot of rainfall in a month to get back to normal in some areas, and that's very unlikely. Even then, reservoir and groundwater levels would likely still be lower than desirable.
Clearly, action is imperative, and the wheels are in motion. There are currently meetings going on across the state to allow for public input on regional water plans; you can also send comments to the TWDB. The TWDB is holding sessions related to the new funds authorized by the Texas Legislature and voters: SWIFT (State Water Implementation Fund for Texas) and SWIRFT (State Water Implementation Revenue Fund for Texas). These funds allow for state financial assistance for water supplies, and were provided a one-time $2 billion infusion from the Rainy Day Fund to get started.
In the meantime, communities are struggling to find any and all ways to come up with more water. Pipelines have been run to pipe water in to some cities. Wichita Falls is now using treated and retreated wastewater to meet between a third and half of daily demand, and Big Spring also has a reuse program. Odessa has had one for decades. Moreover, Brownwood and El Paso have reuse plans under development. Such programs will likely become more common over time. Desalinization projects are even being considered in some areas.
As the Texas Water Development Board puts it, the goal is sustainable and affordable water. Major work is required to get there, and the longer we put it off, the harder it will be. The SWIFT and SWIRFT funds are a good start, but a way to generate far more money is needed. There is a tendency to take water for granted up until the point where a shortage starts, but a look at the underlying patterns in supplies and needs will likely disabuse you of the notion that the status quo is acceptable. Solutions will require major investments but must be found. The stakes are simply too high, both for quality of life and the economy.

Extreme Omnivore: Web Animation
Type One
- Fred of Fred The Monkey has eaten a raw turkey, cake mix, among other things.
- Serena in Sailor Moon Abridged. In her own words, "Crepes. Craps. My digestive system doesn't discriminate."
Type Two
- In Homestar Runner, the King of Town has eaten some very odd things. In addition to a variety of technically-edible dishes such as butter-flavored soda, raw eggs, and a pile of salt, the King of Town has eaten a cardboard box covered in maple syrup, toilet paper, candy-corn-shaped Halloween lights, sticks of roll-on deodorant and an entire flock of fruit bats. It's confirmed that he'll eat anything if there's butter on it, or in it, or even near it, and the only thing he won't touch is peas.
Strong Bad: What, you got some hiccups?King of Town: Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!
Strong Mad: [in a high-pitched voice] I'M A WEBSITE!
- He's even consumed some of the other characters at one point (although they eventually returned—after three days.) The incident involved a swimming pool full of Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance, submerged characters in said pool, and a straw. Strong Bad thankfully leaves the rest to our imagination.
- In one toon, it's implied that he's capable of eating concepts like Arbor Day and Earth Day. But not Halloween Night, because he's on a diet.
- Strong Mad is an even more extreme omnivore, eating things like rocks, glass, entire computers, and somehow literally sucking up bandwidth through a hose.
- In the old-timey Homestar Runner program, Sickly Sam eats The Strong Bad whole, despite his calm but surprised objection during the entire slow process. He soon after objects that the board games present in his stomach are inadequate.
- The Homestar Runner Wiki keeps a running list of these incidences.
- In The Gaston Trilogy, on the one hand, Gaston loves donuts, steak, and Taco Bell. On the other, he also likes to eat straight lard and Babar, an anthropomorphic elephant.

Obama: Terror threat requires 'every precaution'
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama says the threat of an imminent terrorist attack against Americans is, in his words, "significant enough that we're taking every precaution."
In his first comments on the latest security threat from al-Qaida, Obama said Tuesday that Americans should go ahead with summer travel plans abroad despite global travel warnings. But he said they should "show some common sense" and recognize that some countries are more dangerous than others.
He didn't specify which countries posed the greatest threat. He also wouldn't say whether the U.S. learned of the threat through National Security Agency Surveillance programs.
Nineteen U.S. embassies and consulates in 16 countries have been ordered closed to the public until Saturday.
Obama spoke during an interview scheduled for broadcast Tuesday on NBC's "The Tonight Show."

Hiking in/near Reno
Having grown up in Tahoe, I will attest to the fact that it is a wonderful place to go hiking, biking etc.
There are countless trails down in the Reno valley, but for the good scenery, head up to the lake.
I will recommend any of those below, but please view any of my other pages for the Lake's towns for more details:
Tahoe Rim Trail - completely circumnavigates the Lake basin.
Mount Rose - go the top of Mt Rose, path starts near summit of NV-431 on the way to Incline Village.
Desolation Wilderness - a complete national part adjacent to Emerald Bay on the south west corner of Tahoe.
Equipment: Summers can can be quite warm (possibly hot) in Reno. Comfortable in the lake. Nights can be cool, so bring a jumper. Snow is possible, but typically does not happen until Halloween time. Due to hot sun, bring plenty of water on the trails.
- Camping
- Adventure Travel
- Hiking and Walking
Virginia Lake's Outdoor Exercise Park
At Virginia Lake there is a trail around the lake used by walkers, runners, parents stolling with their children, or people sitting and watching the birds.
Equipment: On one end of the lake there is an exercise area, one of those fitness courses.
- Road Trip
- Family Travel
Take a Hike
Reno is surrounded by mountains and wilderness much of it easily accesible from town. I did some hiking in Huffaker Hills Open Space Park just south of the Airport.
- Mountain Climbing
- Hiking and Walking
Jan 2005 - We Had Winter
Many people travel to Reno/Tahoe for the winter sports. But for those of us who live here, we had a real, honest to goodness winter in early 2005. This snow stuck around for months.

Absalom is restored
1Now Joab, Zeruiah's son, could see that the king's mind was on Absalom. 2So Joab sent someone to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there. He said to her, "Pretend to be in mourning. Dress in mourning clothes. Don't anoint yourself with oil. Act like a woman who has spent a long time mourning over someone who has died. 3Go to the king and speak to him as follows." Then Joab told her what to say.
4When the woman from Tekoa came to the king, she fell facedown, bowing low out of respect. "King, help me!" she said.
5"What is wrong?" the king asked her.
"It's terrible!" she said. "I am a widow; my husband is dead. 6Your servant had two sons, but the two of them fought in the field. No one could separate them, and one struck the other and killed him. 7Now the entire clan has turned against your servant. They say, 'Hand over the one who killed his brother so we can execute him for murdering his brother, even though we would destroy the heir as well.' So they would snuff out the one ember I have left, leaving my husband without name or descendant on the earth."
8The king said to the woman, "Return home, and I will issue an order in your behalf."
9The woman of Tekoa said to the king, "My master and king, let the guilt be on me and on my father's household. The king and his throne are innocent."
10"If anyone speaks against you, bring him to me, and he will never trouble you again," the king replied.
11She said, "Please let the king remember the Lord your God so that the one seeking revenge doesn't add to the destruction and doesn't kill my son."
"As surely as the Lord lives," David said, "not one of your son's hairs will fall to the ground."
12Then the woman said, "May your female servant say something to my master the king?"
"Speak!" he said.
13The woman said, "Why have you planned the very same thing against God's people? In giving this order, the king has become guilty because the king hasn't restored his own banished son. 14We all have to die—we're like water spilled out on the ground that can't be gathered up again. But God doesn't take life away; instead, he makes plans so those banished from him don't stay that way.#Heb uncertain
15#14:15-17 may have originally followed 14:7."I have come to my master the king to talk about this because people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, I must speak with the king. Maybe the king will act on the request of his servant, 16because the king will agree to deliver his servant from the power of anyone who would destroy both me and my son from the inheritance God gave. 17Your servant thought, The word of my master the king will definitely comfort me, because my master the king is like one of God's messengers, understanding good and evil. May the Lord your God be with you!"
18#14:18 may have originally followed 14:14. The king answered the woman, "I must ask you something—don't hide anything from me!"
The woman said, "Please, my master and king, speak."
19So the king said, "Has Joab put you up to this?"
The woman answered, "As surely as you live, my master and king, no one can deviate a bit from whatever my master and king says. Yes, it was your servant Joab who directed me, and it was Joab who told your female servant to say all these things. 20Your servant Joab did this to change the way things look.#Heb uncertain But my master's wisdom is like the wisdom of one of God's own messengers—he knows everything that takes place in the land."
21So the king said to Joab, "All right then. I will do it. Go and bring back my boy Absalom."
22Joab fell facedown, bowing low out of respect, and he blessed the king.
"Today your servant knows that you think well of me, my master and king," Joab said, "because the king has followed up on his servant's recommendation."
23So Joab got up, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.
24The king said, "He must go straight to his own house. He must not see my face." So Absalom went straight to his own house and did not see the king.
25No man throughout Israel was as praised for his good looks as Absalom. From the soles of his feet to the crown of his head there was nothing wrong with him. 26When he shaved his head—he had to shave his head at the end of each year because his hair was so heavy that he had to shave it—the weight of the hair from his head was two hundred shekels by the royal weight. 27Absalom had three sons and one daughter. The daughter's name was Tamar. She was a beautiful woman.
28Absalom lived in Jerusalem two years without ever seeing the king's face. 29Absalom called for Joab in order to send Joab to the king, but Joab refused to come. Absalom called for Joab a second time, but he still wouldn't come. 30So Absalom said to his servants, "Look, Joab's property is next to mine. He has barley there. Go and set it on fire." So Absalom's servants set the property on fire. Then Joab's servants went to Joab with their clothes torn. "Absalom's servants set the property on fire," they said.#DSS (4QSamc) LXX; MT lacks Then Joab's servants… said.
31So Joab went straight to Absalom's house and said to him, "Why have your servants set my property on fire?"
32Absalom answered Joab, "Look, I sent you a message: Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, 'Why have I returned from Geshur? I would be better off if I were still there!' Please let me see the king's face. If I'm guilty, then the king can kill me."
33Joab went to the king and reported this to him. Then the king called for Absalom, and Absalom came to the king. He bowed low out of respect, nose to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.

The 2010 midterm elections are here, and most expect Republicans to make big gains in both chambers of Congress. While prevailing opinion holds that the GOP will take over the House of Representatives, there are some dissenters among national politicians. The Senate outlook is even more messy, but it is generally accepted that Republicans face a steeper climb to take back the upper chamber.
Numerous politicians and prognosticators have weighed in around the country, including President Clinton and Sarah Palin. Scroll down to see what each thinks. Who's right? Who's wrong? Weigh in with your comments.
The former Alaska governor says Tuesday will deliver a "political earthquake" and that Americans will reject "the establishment who have kind of perpetuated the problem by going along just to get along."
Clinton believes Democrats will maintain control of the Senate, but he thinks the House is up in the air.
The Mississippi Governor and head of the Republican Governors Association predicts that Republicans will win the House, make "big gains" in the Senate and control at least 30 governors' mansions.
The DNC chair believes Democrats will suffer losses in both the House and Senate, but will retain control of both chambers of Congress.
The author of the Cook Political Report said on "Meet the Press" that Republicans will enjoy "explosive" gains in the House, but he feels differently about the Senate: "I don't think it's really very plausible that they could get--that Republicans could get a majority in the Senate right now." On his web site, Cook predicts that the GOP will gain "50 to 60 seats."
While many analysts are forecasting a Republican wave, RNC chairman Michael Steele dialed back expectations on Sunday. He said that even if the GOP falls several seats short of the 39 needed to win back the House, it will still be a success for the Republican Party.
The Texas Senator and head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee is optimistic about the GOP's chances on Tuesday -- but not optimistic enough to think that Republicans will take back the upper chamber. "I think we'll make a lot of headway. I'm not predicting that we will get the majority this cycle. I think it probably is going to take two cycles, but there is certainly a potential there, depending on just how high and how broad this wave election is," Cornyn said.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, who heads the Democrats' House electoral efforts in the current cycle, thinks Dems will hold on to the House.
The political forecaster believes Republicans will gain "55-65 seats, with gains at or above 70 seats possible."
HuffPost Hill, our excellent daily email for political junkies and insiders, weighed in with this prediction: Democrats will hold on to the House and gain 45 seats, causing 10 coconut cream pies to magically appear and smack John Boehner in the face. (Why? Because there's no penalty in Washington for being wrong, so we might as well be the only ones other than Chris Van Hollen calling it.) You can -- and should -- sign up for HuffPost Hill here.

The guy may be great physician but his bedside manners really suck. I'm a Dr. who understands patients have questions and concerns that should be addressed so they can be informed and participate in tx. This guy evidently thinks different. He probably seats next to God. Arrogant is an understatement. Not recommended.
Best heart surgeon in Florida. ..helped my 21 year old and now is 100 precent fine we â¤dr b!!!
Dr. Bredikis was excellent. He was the only cardiologist who diagnosed the problem correctly, and took action to repair it. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Bredikis. He performed my ablation in January 2013 and I've had no issues since that time. He is an excellent doctor and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure as I was very nervous about it.
Dr. Bredikis exceeded all my expectations. As a patient with a-fib, he put me at ease and greatly improved my quality of life. He spent a lot of time to answer my questions. His clinical skills are superb and he considers his patients to be investments which I think is rare. On two occasions, I had to call Dr. Bredikis after hours. Thinking I would hear from the nurse practitioner within a couple of hours, I was so relieved when he returned my call within 10 minutes. Because I have worked for physicians and in hospitals for more than 40 years, I can tell you that Dr. Bredikis is more than a good physician. He is excellent on every level and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him to anyone with cardiac rhythm disorders.
The staff was very courteous his pa was less than adequate. She only listened to my heart and lungs through my blouse. Never bothered to see if tthere was any swelling of my legs. Never checked for any jv distension . When the dr came in he did not lay a finger on me nor a stetascope . Then he had the audosity to charge insurance for a consultant fee. I had called my insurance company and let them know what transpired. I would not refer anyone to him.
Typically patients are referred to my practice for opinion or second opinion ,regarding treatment options. I have spend adequate time to review all prior and current records, cardiac studies, echocardiogram and monitor reports to provide my opinion. Depending on the case it could be 30 minutes or 2 hours ( If I need to review actual echocardiograms or cardiac catheterization recordings and not just a report. I always reviewing full disclosure ( all original tracings ,not a reports ) of Holter and Event recorders, which is time consuming. Emphasis is to focus on the problem and provide high level expertise/consultation which we provided.
This Doctor did my cardiac ablation last year at Holmes Regional Medical Center. I would never go anywhere else or to anyone else ever again! He did a fantastic job and I felt totally safe through the procedure. My family was updated promptly and I've been able to return to good health due to a successful ablation!

The Terminal Experiment has propelled Robert J. Sawyer into the limelight as one of science fiction's hot new writers, earning him the prestigious Nebula Award in the process. In this fast-paced thriller, Dr. Peter Hobson's investigations into death and afterlife lead him to create three separate electronic versions of himself: one has no memory of physical existence and represents life after death; one has no knowledge of death or aging and represents immortality; and the third is left unaltered as a control. But all three have escaped into the worldwide matrix...and one of them is a killer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Robert J. Sawyer was born in Ottawa and lives in Mississauga with his wife, poet Carolyn Clink. He has won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for best novel. The ABC TV series FlashForward was based on his novel of the same name.
This book is even better than the FlashForward book written by the same author.

After reading a few reviews I expected more from this book. Embrionary plot and superficial contents make it only an average SF book. Entertaining, but nothing more.Published on Oct. 8 2002 by jordi trullols

If anyone else is interested, I would be glad to have company.
I will post more info tomorrow - Sunday looks like the best weather day of the weekend.
