And it’s a First Friday. That can only mean one thing: a new Medical Examiner has rolled off the presses and is ready to read, here and now. Aside from the epic news on page one, we launch a new feature: kids get to play Ask The Doctor: page 3. Among other fascinating bits of trivia, we reveal the little-known …
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 …
Here: one shiny new Examiner
(As a preamble, if you don’t see the image of an Examiner front page below, try clicking on the headline above.) This issue, as usual, contains a veritable plethora of good reading, including some eye-opening statistics about TV watching just in time for the Christmas break. Most kids, we predict, will spend the majority of it parked in front of …
Hot off the press…
This is one hot issue indeed. There’s the article about the murder of a nurse one snowy night in St. Louis long ago – but it has an Augusta connection. There’s the tremendously insightful Blog Spot on page 11: “Cigarettes Should Cost $25 a pack.” We’re going to agree on that. There’s the pointed observations about the GHSU name change …
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Medical Examiner columnist Helen Blocker-Adams was today awarded a grant from GHSU’s Institute of Public and Preventive Health. Excerpts from a GHSU press release: The Institute of Public and Preventive Health at Georgia Health Sciences University today awarded community-based research grants totaling $330,000 through its Community Health Partnership Grants Program. The grants pair recipients from the Augusta region with GHSU …
The New Issue: here
I’ll be the first to admit, a cover story about pneumonia sounds booooooooring. But take a few moments to read it and you will probably be as amazed as I was at how serious and pervasive pneumonia is. It’s in keeping with our unofficial motto: if you take the time to read it, it should be worth your time to …
It’s M.E.vember!
And to celebrate, here’s the first issue of MEvember. It’s new and improved, especially compared to the print version. We admit to a veritable TypoFest in the print edition. We haven’t had this many typos in one issue since that one time when Al-Qaeda captured our entire editorial staff and forced us to make more than a dozen tpyos. (They …
A shiny new issue, right here
Are you loving the Medical Examiner’s newly enhanced print quality? Same here. On the downside of our surge to ever more greatness, we never meant to drive Newsweek out of business. Honest. That was never our intention. But we must move on. What follows below is 16 pages of healthful chocolatey goodness, but without the chocolate: • Meet five courageous …
OCTOBER 5 ISSUE: Here
It’s never fun to have a typo in a headline, let alone the lead story on page one. For the record, the headline was supposed to be “Breast Cancer.” Well, it’s printed. Not a lot we can do about it now. We’ll just have to go with “Beat Cancer” which, upon further reflection, is not the worst typo we’ve ver …
September 7 issue drops!
Did you know the average hospital stay in 1980 was two weeks – versus three days now? True. There has been a huge trend toward outpatient care over the past few decades. What’s behind it, and what are the implications for patients? Read this issue for the answers. And what’s up with funeral traffic laws? Is it legal to pass …
