Not to toot our own horn – something we’re loathe to do – but did you notice that the Medical Examiner now features The Advice Doctor as of the premiere issue of 2016? Yes, the rumors are true, even though you thought they were too good to be true. But sometimes when something seems too good to be true, that …
Issue #1! 2016 is official now!
The New Year wasn’t really the New Year until today. What’s different about today? The online edition of the Medical Examiner has arrived, chock full o’ salubrious reading, including the debut of our newest feature, The Advice Doctor. Check it out (all 16 glorious pages).
Music Therapy
Where we outdo ourselves almost every Thursday. And so without further ado, another stellar session, this time a live performance from a then-unknown name: Chris Stapleton. This first song is the title track from his CMA award-winning Album of the Year, and the man himself is the New Artist of the Year. You’re about to see why, although my best …
The latest HDH!
Ah, the Hump Day Hiatus. Computer glitches this morning, but this is not exactly time sensitive, and is worth the wait. In fact, 99.963% of what you’re about to see would probably be exactly the same if this had been filmed 100 years ago. It’s timeless – and it demonstrates that living in a yurt wouldn’t be half bad. Nomads …
Check out this week’s PSA
It’s the true story of a young down-under physician in New South Wales, a jogger in Los Angeles, a cantankerous old lady half a world away, an unborn baby and an unfit driver, and how their lives all intertwine with tragic consequences. All that in just six and a half minutes. But there is a positive moral to the story, …
Music Therapy
We were going to cancel today’s session, but some of our patients would be in a world of hurt if they went two weeks without music therapy. This week the dosage is particularly potent, being an amalgamation (in other words, a mashup) of lots of big tunes from the entire year, all in just 5 minutes and change. Sit back …
Rain. Rain. More rain.
Rain makes mud. Mud is not necessarily a bad thing. Sony FS7 – 180 fps – Louisiana Mudfest 2015 from John Marton on Vimeo.
The PSA of the Week
Blizzards. Flooding. Mud. Snow. Ice. Slippery conditions. You need this Public Service Announcement, courtesy of The Art of Manliness. But even more than this, you need to drive carefully. The best way to get your car unstuck, after all, is not to get stuck in the first place.
MUSIC THERAPY
Music Therapy never takes a holiday. And if you came here for your weekly session expecting Silent Night, well, you won’t be disappointed. But you’re not about to hear Silent Night, either. Instead, with much of the nation basking in temperatures that are decidedly not Decemberist (no, that is not a clue of what’s coming), let’s take a musical journey …
Take off!
It’s Wednesday, right? And it feels like Friday? So take off! Take a Hump Day Hiatus! As long as you’re about to leave 2015 behind too, here’s a question: Have you been reading the 16 for ’16 series in recent issues of the Medical Examiner? (Visit issuu.com/medicalexaminer) The articles (which still have a few more installments to go) offer ideas …
