Guard your eyesite

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007This is important
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007I doubt that there are any Colorado physicians who read my blog, but if you’re one, please read this. If you’re a Coloradoan, but not a physician, read it anyway.
I’m opposed to socialized medicine, but as I’m not a physician, I can’t personally help Dr. Hsieh debunk the claimed “consensus.” It sounds as though it might have parallels to the global warming “consensus.”
I had a little experience with the British medical system a few years ago. It wasn’t bad (apart from the effects the gastroenteritis had on the vacation), but I’ll always remember the doctor responding to one of my questions, “You Americans and your evidence-based medicine!”

Something for everyone
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007The Curmudgeon’s Monday morning roundup can irritate everyone, either directly from the items he links, or as a response to his commentary.
Personally, I like his commentary. I’d add some of my own here, specifically on the stupidity of the Supreme Court ruling mentioned, but I doubt that I could add much worthwhile. It’s just another example of what happens when policies that ought to be based on science are determined by those who can spell the word, but don’t understand it – which seems to be happening more and more, lately.
I prefer “hexnut,” myself
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007They ran a contest to name a feature of Saturn’s atmosphere, and “Omphalos” won.
A little late for Tartan Day …
