About Me View My Posts
The first patient actually infected in the United States is a nurse out of Dallas caring for the FIRST victim to enter the United States. The CDC states that the nurse broke protocol, but specifically what protocol did she break? The people want to know; health professionals want to know. The CDC must publish this protocol lapse, so we all can be better informed. I mentioned in the preceding article... 10/13/2014 7:00:00 AM

In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue... I was surprised to find that Columbus Day is still an official Federal holiday. Christopher Columbus was a much bigger figure in American history when I was in elementary school back in the 1970s, as our history textbooks told his same heroic story for generations.

You can tell it’s October, and it’s certainly not because of fall-like temperatures in Los Angeles, or even because pumpkin-flavoring has temporarily become a daily dietary supplement. We’re used to all that. What seems more prevalent than before are omnipresent spikes in use of the color pink, particularly as a fashion accessory, and a definite uptick in non-pejorative use of the word “ta-tas” in... 10/5/2014 7:00:00 AM

Ebola has now spread beyond Africa with the first USA case now in Texas and the exposed family is under close observation--no surprise. All viruses know “how to get around” and the Ebola virus-- probably from African Fruit Bats-- has infected humans... 10/1/2014 7:00:00 AM
