December 4 drops!

Sometimes even I can’t believe how much salubriousness and plain old chocolatey goodness is packed into every 16 page issue of the Medical Examiner. But all anyone has to do to see for themselves is click here:

PSA of the Week

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 …

The Helicopter Issue drops

Not literally, silly. I don’t need the NTSB on my case. But the cover story today is about a disturbing trend: jailing moms (and sometimes dads) for leaving their kids unattended for five minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is one word for that: Duh! And so, without further ado, here is the latest issue – ever. PS: For the record, the Examiner, in more than 150 issues, …

Fire up the iPad!

It’s the latest Medical Examiner full of, well, if not chocolatey goodness, at least a lot of tasty articles that encourage and promote health and wellness.
