Whitney………….DANE! wish I caught this back in June… I try and do a monthly search on Lyme and Bartonella to catch anything new!…I post on serveral forums.
I am a victim of Lyme and Big time Bartonella…the sufferin’ is beyond words.

Just want to say……I really like who you picked for your article….Dr. Ed B has been a fan of mine been following him for some time now for many reasons.

With the backround you have(impressive) I would BITE(cuz that’s what ticks do right?) to see you write an article on the “Guidlines” having to do with IDSA and CDC
and Insurance including Pharm as well…..what a bunch of self serving, greedy, no good…….well you know……….

Would love to see what you could pull together for an article…….Skidmore College with Chris Gibson….9page write up in Pokepsie paper in NY.

Excellent article with great quotes and unique details. I was moved by the “moral imperative” statement and I smiled when I read “the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan commission.”

I was lead to your informative article by a Google Alert for HCAHPS:

I am surprised that I have not yet received a Google Alert linking me to your original publication at AAMC.

Thanks for the good work.

Comment on Achieving Balance: Medicine & The Arts by Julie Ruth Owen

Ms. Howell~ I am a second-year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, though my background after undergraduate school was as a professional musical theatre performer. Much like the Duke med students you described in this article, I had to discover a way to remain involved in the arts to retain a sense of “normalcy” and motivation while slogging through the rigorous medical school curriculum. I stumbled upon this post in my ongoing efforts to greatly expand the Arts & Humanities offerings we currently have on campus. I preside over the organization “Physicians for the Arts” (http://physiciansforthearts.blogspot.com/). Your post has been an inspiration, thank you!

Welcome to my den of horrors: We have spiders, snakes, falling into a pit of BOILING HOT LAVA!

Some of them are real, some are imaginary. We leave it up to you to determine which is which. No, I’m kidding. They’re all real. You really are going to die.

Muahahahaha!

Excellent article. Really hit all my geek points, and sounds a lot cooler than someday maybe invisibility suits.

Comment on Medical Schools Seek Security of Student Background Checks by brittany

I love this idea about giving all students back ground checks to keep the schools clean.

Every school should do this no matter what the circumstances! I beleive every family wants their child to be safe and shouldnt have to worry about a crime happening to that person while away at school. All people going on campus should be students and nothing else besides staff and family. A criminal background checks should be done to every student to find out if they belong there as well.
