In mere days, Santa's coming to town. Here are a few goodies I've found recently while surfing to tide you over. Have a wonderful holiday season whatever you celebrate.
Merry Christmas from Hotel Rehab, where we'll leave the lights on just for you! (No admissions, please.)
Science and random holiday fare
Everyone knows we get lots and lots of food out for the holidays, including various delicacies. Be careful what you eat. According to this NY Times article, Remarkable Creatures, you may want to steer clear of the puffer. Friends don't let friends eat tetrodotoxins.
Another reason to eat before you get on the plane: Safety of food at airports is spotty. (from USA Today)
It's a fluffy section of Yahoo!, but I really enjoy Shine. If the relatives are at your house now, or you survived the holiday party, this article called 5 Behaviors of Manipulative People may be just the thing you're looking for to get through someone's guilt trip (add your favorite relative).
Doctors, nurses and everyone in between
I've always wondered about this, but Cases in the NY Times health section talks about the etiquette of addressing patients in the exam room. Reminded me of more than a few of my patients..."don't call me Mr./Mrs. So and So. That's my mom/dad/grandpa/uncle/aunt, etc."
