Friday, April 15, 2005 Eclectica Murburg's behaviour bewilders scientists. Okay, so I'm way late in posting this, but this is fascinating stuff. The curious thing about this is that most of the victims have been young children which is not the same pattern as previous outbreaks. National Library Week. Also late with this post, but as people always say, better late than never. Have you been to a library this week? I have, but unfortunately it was not for checking out books. Beef and milk from cloned cows declared safe. On a different note, I must remember to post about a recent paper about transgenic cow milk. Little India. Pages of a children's book about Indian mythology. Cute. Creative licence. "Kate Bulkley reports on an online initiative by broadcasters that will allow the public to experiment with archive material." The Attending Sign. "Along with the emergency-department registration staff, the triage nurse, and the nursing student, they had already asked Mrs. J. if she was taking any new medications. Yet the patient waited to tell me—the attending E.R. doc and the final and most senior questioner—about her new antibiotics." Crazy patients. You're not doing anyone (most of all yourself) any good if you hold back any info to the medical staff. More and More, Kids Say the Foulest Things. I'm not particularly offended by the swear words peppering normal conversation (yes, I'm pretty much desensitized to that), but I am annoyed. It's not really the coarseness of it that gets to me, but the sheer banality. It's boring and counterproductive and completely dilutes whatever message they're trying to get across. Try to say things without all those expletives and what you say will be more clear and powerful for it. [posted by S. Y. Affolee on 5:48 AM : ]
