Pulmonary Embolism | A Clot to the Lungs

“Scab” is such an interesting word. I remember the culture shock in third grade when we moved from the Big Apple to Nowhereland, Ohio– and the shock was more for them than us. They looked and talked to us like we were Martians. (”We come in peace, but if you aren’t peaceful, I’m going [...]

Body-Mass Index and Mortality in Korean Men and Women | Video

Korean as I am, I’m not very Korean. I didn’t learn the language, so all my relatives call me “stupid” in Korean. I don’t even know how to spell “stupid” in Korean– something like “pa-bow.” (Note: 9/27/09 – I have been learning Korean the past year. Not good at it but [...]

Obesity Raising Healthcare Costs | Turning Dollars to Pounds

Some Tips on how to lose weight….and keep it off

Advanced Directives | It Doesn’t Mean “Pull The Plug On Grandma”

“Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” is an interesting song. Maybe opponents of End of Life (EOL) counseling should use that melody for “Pull the plug on my dear old grandma.” Hmm, something tells me no one will be singing that song during Christmas.
And I don’t think Rudolph would intentionally run over [...]
