I love this post, Dr Charles. I am not a doctor, but I worked in doctor’s office early in my working life. I remember the hurried, crazy pace so well. Your advice is so thoughtful in every way. I want to make a copy of it and send it to my PCP, but I don’t want to bum her out! Thank you for writing this down. Your patients are very, very lucky.

This great news. Makes me wonder, though, with the new administration and wacky congress if the law will really go into effect.

I have been thinking about this for a while, but I hadn’t tied it all together quite as interestingly as this. We seem to have veered off into some crazy de-humanized world of bad food, high-alcohol content, and nameless sex. I think we are on a one-way course, and sadly we are taking the planet and all its beautiful creatures with us.

So we take a hand held instrument that captures all the wisdom and knowledge ever known to man and puts it at our disposal and use it to watch cats ride vacuum cleaners and build electronic brothels?

Well stated and prescient, hope the day does not come when parking lots are full of ebola tents outside hospitals.

just wondering if everything with these coupons is exclusively online, or if I could walk into a gym and show them a membership promotion on my iPad.

Good to see you back. And thank you for this post. The nutritionist provided by my insurance company keeps insisting that I need to eat a diet that consists of whole grains and very little fat. I keep pointing out that my cholesterol levels are better than hers.

I thought of you the other day when I saw this fossil heart in the minus tide outcropping on the beach in Capitola.

Something we all must do is connect. We have to connect to those around us, stay connected once they’re gone. Otherwise we have no map that says where we began, where we’re going or where we’ll end up.
