Dr. Know It All | Not Really But We Try

Embarrassing things happen all the time in everyday life. I’m trying to play more tennis, and right now my skills are mediocre at best. Recently I chipped a shot beautifully into the backhand corner against my tennis buddy.
“Wow,” I thought to myself, “that was a great shot!” My brief moment of glory ended [...]

Ischemia | When the Heart Suffocates

Six Feet Under is probably my favorite television series ever. The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home was not a fun place like a disco club or an amusement park, but it was a quite interesting. In the very first episode, Nathaniel Fisher, the father of the family, is driving his brand-new hearse and smoking [...]

Mercury Poisoning | Not Freddy Mercury

Planets are pretty fascinating. Don’t you think it is amazing there are other planets, suns, and moons? Not to sound like Katherine Hepburn (remember, Barbara Walters asked her if she were a tree, what kind would she be?), but if I were a planet, I would definitely be Mercury, named after the Roman messenger [...]

Keloids | Scar Light Scar Bright

“I’m scarred for life.” Not “scared” as in, “Run, Forrest, Run,” but as in, “You hurt me. You hurt me bad!”
Scars never really go away. They can diminish, but a scar is a scar: Al Pacino, Scarface– Batman’s Two Face– Joan Rivers– Oh, wait, those are multiple face lifts.
Remember in Lethal Weapon (I [...]

Chronic Kidney Disease Video | Slow Kidneys

Pâté is not politically correct food because of what is done to poor Mrs. Goose. Personally I think eating liver is like eating toenails or something. But then again some people eat pig’s feet, so we all have our preferences, including me.
Back in Kenton, OH, my terrorizing classmates would ridicule [...]

Cellulitis | Skin infection making skin red and hot

Red is a bold color. You have to be brave to wear an all-red outfit. How many men have you seen wear a red suit, besides The Joker and Elton John?
I wear red ties. I don’t have any red pants or shirts. Shoe colors are “cordovan” or “ox blood,” but not red. Better [...]

Kidney Stones (Video) | Ouch, Ow, Painful! Not fun like The Rollling Stones

“Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” As if!
Quite a few people seem to believe their houses are made of Pyrex, so they get out their slings like David going after Goliath. That’s why politicians shouldn’t have negative campaign ads-it ends up like two nasty high school girls fighting to [...]
