I’ve been thinking about healthcare a lot over the years, and with the government shutdown continuing, this time because of expiring subsidies of the Affordable Health Care Act (or at least that’s the excuse being used), I figured it’s time to finally write about it. Before that…some comments on the shutdown. I cannot believe that … More Saturday – A Rant on Healthcare (and the Shutdown)
I was talking to a guy the other day, and he said he hadn’t had a day off in 28 days. Yikes. (Isn’t that a horror movie? Oh no, that’s “28 Days Later” but working 28 straight days seems like a horror movie) I was like, “OMG…why not?” And he just kind of shrugged like … More Monday – The Power of an Enrichment Day
Find light in the beautiful seaI choose to be happyYou and I, you and IWe’re like diamonds in the sky. These are lyrics from Rihanna’s song “Diamonds.” Now, I’ve heard this song a million times. When you listen to Top 40 radio long enough, songs you once liked quickly turn into songs you can’t hit “skip” on fast … More Friday – I Choose to Be Happy

An accomplishment that saved possible hundreds of thousands of lives – maybe millions – by the Trump Administration. I just finished reading (listening – I use Audible a ton) the … More Operation Warp Speed
I had another post ready for today but then listened to “The Daily” podcast. EVERYONE should listen to it. We must figure out a way to revamp our entire healthcare system. It is so sad. I wish, I wish, I wish we could get out of our own way and realize the ability to get … More The Daily – Medicare
Last Friday I decided that I would go on a Sugar Strike. I would quit sugar cold-turkey. Maybe not the healthiest decision to make but I needed to break my sugar habit and going two weeks without sugar of any kind would, while not being easy, break it. I made it one day. But I’m … More A Week Without Sugar
Let me start off by saying I have very little knowledge in the area of funding provided to universities. Probably not a good way to start a post that you want people to read but…let me offer my opinion. I am so very worried about this loss of funding for universities – mainly because of … More University funding
My wife started a new job the other day. It was a job that requires 12 hour shifts. I’ve never understood 12 hour shifts as a standard but for some reason it’s ok in the medical field. This seems wrong because wouldn’t you want your medical staff to be at their very best throughout their … More Sleep…
I work at a dentist office. I knew nothing about dentistry before I started except that I carry gold in my mouth and my granddaughter calls them rings. “Pop, you have rings in your mouth!” After 2 plus years in the office I now know a little bit more. I know that they are not … More Saliva Testing…It’s a thing?
