Ok everyone.
When I am on vacation and have more time left to my thoughts, my brain goes to even more places. I also have more time to read which means more ideas for Common Sense Health and Wellness posts.
So here goes.
More stuff to think about.
I know. Some people say I am not just acting….
Here is why I do my best to not talk, and instead listen more when I am with an IMW member.
I was told by someone very wise that when interviewing a patient, let them talk. They will eventually tell you what is wrong and then all you need to do is confirm they are correct and institute a plan to improve.
Now sometimes the Florida afternoon Sun can be strong, and lying outside by a pool can bring on the Zzzz’s. It can be a great relaxing time until awoke by the sound of something knocking very loudly just a few feet away. How rude!!
But at least I was not awakened by this fella….
Think about this next statement when you make a choice as to whether to stick to a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle.
I do not know if these numbers are correct and I don’t know who can truly figure it out, but it is an interesting thought experiment.
This is where I ask health insurers to go when they contact me.
I no longer like cold weather. But there are always some people, and I have a few in my practice….
I have yet to see Mount Rushmore. Now I have to drive around the other side as well??
Big spiders come out at night in Florida….
For anyone else taking some vaca time.
Be safe!
Should have eaten that iguana for dinner. Also, thanks for ruining palm trees. 😒
Beautiful vacation pics, Doc! Quick note on that ‘1-in-a-trillion polio death’ stat: it’s so safe that the iron lungs of the 1950s must have been early science fiction.
Likewise, rubella apparently went from causing thousands of miscarriages in ’64 to ‘negligible’ overnight—guess viruses started reading self-help blogs.
Love how ‘follow the facts, not the narrative’ now means ‘follow a Meme where the numbers don't mean anything.’
