Some public service announcements are quite subtle. Others not so much.
WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!
If you didn’t hear the news yet, Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper (that would be the Medical Examiner of course) is seeking Augusta’s Most Salubrious Doctors. We want to recognize any doctor who goes above and beyond the call of duty. Perhaps this doctor treated you in the middle of the night (and he wasn’t even on call); maybe she diagnosed …
Our best issue of the year!
So far, anyway. Inside, read the confessions of a lifelong pothead, and how the war on drugs is being lost – but could be won (that information would be found in the following link below, “Breaking The Taboo”). Also, we help you navigate the maze that new regulations have created for healthcare on pages one and nine. Don’t overlook our …
More cowbell? Or less?
Which do you want? Less? Or more? Here at Medical Examiner world headquarters, we’re always looking for advertisers. Until we win a mega-millions lottery (for which we never buy tickets, which makes winning difficult) we need their support to continue to publish Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper. If you’re thinking about joining the tens of companies who already are savvy enough …
More NUMB3RS!
3.2 million of them, to be specific. A guy sticks his face in a copier – and who of us hasn’t done that? – and a couple o’ three million dots later, viola! (or as some prefer, voila!) A work of art emerges courtesy of his son, artist Miguel Endara. View full screen if you like. The Making of “Hero” …

Another trillion
Related to the earlier post NUMB3RS (below), here’s some additional food for thought about what a trillion – in this case, a trillion dollars – really means. For a little perspective (but not much) on what a stack of $1 bills nearly 79,000 miles high would look like, consider the recent record-setting free fall by Austrian Felix Baumgartner. He jumped …
NUMB3RS
Hardly a day goes by without hearing big numbers, numbers that despite their familiarity – after all, you can’t go too many days without hearing the worn-out phrase, “…that’s billion with a B…” – are practically abstract concepts. The human mind can only comprehend so much. This week’s Augusta Medical Examiner cover story deals with lots of amazing numbers that …
A Breast Cancer Awareness Gallery
As October leaves us for another year, here is a gallery of breast cancer Public Service Announcements, ads, photographs and informational posters from various places around the world. They are clickable if you wish to enlarge any of them for easier reading. The fight against breast cancer is not an October fight. It’s a never-ending year-round battle – against all …
Take a Hump Day hiatus
Remember the epic family road trips of yesteryear? Pack everybody into a station wagon with no AC and burn up a thousand miles or so, even though gas was an astronomical 29 cents a gallon. When it was all over, Mom would compile a bunch of curled black & white snapshots into a photo album never again to see the …
