Theoretically, I'd like to post these weekly on the same day, but darn it, if something doesn't pop up and distract me!
Anyway, here are a few of the goodies I've been saving all week to share with you. Enjoy this pre-Thanksgiving feast! It's calorie-free!
News of note
Pregnancy outcomes good for MS patients (from www.reuters.com)
Some of my people are really going to like this one. Overall, MS seems to get better in a lot of women while pregnant.
On another MS note, I found this interesting blog called Fingolimod and Me by a woman who's participating in a drug trial for fingolimod, aka FTY720. I enjoyed the subtitle the most: A hypocondriac joins a clinical trial...
I wish I worked here
This NY Times article discusses a company with a no gossip policy: Workplace gossip? Keep it to yourself
Amen, sister!
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius weighs in on the mammogram debate in this nursezone.com article.
Mystery resolved
I enjoy reading a good mystery novel now and again, but this story I recently read is not fiction:
Mystery of Bangladesh's mass arsenic poisoning solved. Let's hope fixing it will become a priority!
Goodies in the blogosphere
I really enjoy reading LaTonia Denise Wright. Who would think she could make legal discussions interesting...and downright funny? This nurse barrister surely can turn a phrase, and while the topic's a serious one, I enjoy the presentation. Check out her More Drama for your Mama post.
Ian from impactednurse.com has a great article on Mindfulness that's worth your time. I have to remind myself often to take care of myself for my patients, especially while working.
Finally, Mother Jones tells it like is in her Listen to your doctor, Uncle Sam post. Don't miss it!
