This may come across sounding a little self-serving, but that is not our intention. Honest. It is a genuine Public Service Announcement, a PSA, offered in the interests of improved public health. As a public service. It concerns a letter we received last week from a loyal reader of the Augusta Medical Examiner. It went something like this: “Dear Medical …

Today’s smokin’ Examiner
Can’t believe I didn’t post this first thing this morning here. It was online at issuu.com/medicalexaminer bright and early, though.

Straight up, we’re not a huge publication, so it’s not like you can go out and sell a …

“The Trouble with Breathing”
As you may know, that (see above) is the title of the cover story in the current issue of the Medical Examiner. It’s about bad breath, its cures and prevention, what it might mean beyond garlic and onions, and also what medical researchers have up their sleeves using breath for tests.
