At the Univ hosp and School of Medicine here, there is a Doc who has lost his medical license and been suspended from his duties at the SOM and univ Hosp. (He had a VP position). He is a single guy who was involved with a female psychiatrist (also a faculty in SOM). It seems he prescribed some anti depressants and anti anxiety meds for her during their relationship. The deal is that someone with prescriptive privaleges is barred from prescribing for family or someone they are involved in an intimate relationship. Apparently, the woman filed a suit against him. It sounds like a romantic relationship gone bad. In a way I feel sorry for the guy. But he should have known better.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-64779366529972969392010-02-03T07:21:40.406-06:002010-02-03T07:21:40.406-06:00If the SEC doesn't have filters on their syste...If the SEC doesn't have filters on their system to screen out those bad sites, they need to hire new computer people.

He's not one to do surgery unless you really need it. I waited until I was losing sensation and having weakness in extremities before I let him cut on me. A big part of the problem with my back is due to the severe osteoporosis. I had alot of bone spurs that would close off the neural foramin along with herniated discs that were impinging the spinal cord.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778066792332825411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-73212584909431391482010-02-02T23:27:14.086-06:002010-02-02T23:27:14.086-06:00Carol, I miss seeing your comments.

I think she is the smallest we have had in my family. She weighed 5 lbs 14 oz. Last Friday when I went over, she weighed 6 lbs 3 oz. She is so tiny. Her little face is so small. I am just not used to small babies. We have had big babies in the family - 8-9 lbs usually. Amie said she is just now getting into newborn clothes. When the first brought her home, Amie said they had to go out and buy some preemie clothes. She is doing very well and mom and dad are surviving too.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-66412615291677829592010-02-02T23:21:22.891-06:002010-02-02T23:21:22.891-06:00Ivy, if you have missed the auditions, you have no...Ivy, if you have missed the auditions, you have not missed much. I am sure you will see the good ones in a couple of weeks when they get to Hollywood. Some of those that audition seem to have mental problems. I almost wish they would screen those out. It seems cruel to have them on. But I guess that sells the show.

I have seen every movie version of the story. <br /><br />My 8 y/o gr daughter loves PB on graham crackers too. She is really picky and I can get her to eat that. Given the choice she picks terrible foods. I try to feed her healthy when she visits. when my son brought her over last fri nite he brought a dozen krispy kreme donuts with her. I put them all in plastic bags and only let her have one for desserts. She would sit and eat several at one time if I let her. I had to put them in the cabinet out of my sight too. I am just as bad at times.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-31477783803479490142010-02-02T23:11:55.435-06:002010-02-02T23:11:55.435-06:00Mary, All that metal.

I woke up about 2 am afterwards, and thought I was having some kind of stroke or something - I can't remember what it felt like but I was terrified. We went to the ER and they took some x-rays. I have some pretty bad degeneration of the spine or something. Anyway, I have not followed up - I think I am afraid to. I just try to keep up my exercising and not think about it.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-42538197559282307462010-02-02T22:45:04.733-06:002010-02-02T22:45:04.733-06:00The title of the book simply is "March."...The title of the book simply is "March." That's the family name, but it is also a meaning-laden device.

This one is a clever device...she picks up the story of the March family from the classic "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott (what girl didn't love that growing up?) and spins a tale of the missing father who went off to war.

I think there are screws that keep it in place. He had a curvature of the spine that was progressing and was painful. It was such a waste they didn't do it right the first time...the added expense was just part of it, the pain and suffering to a kid was absurd...they must have known better, but did it on the cheap.Ivy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280286975346056230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-20518687148101449282010-02-02T22:28:21.032-06:002010-02-02T22:28:21.032-06:00Well, since I ran everyone off again, I guess I...Well, since I ran everyone off again, I guess I'll go to bed.

Not much notice. They probably won't get back down here before she has the baby, so I put together a little pregnancy celebration party (shower) at one of their favorite restaurants ( Mexican, of course).
