Hear the sound of that squeaky Schwinn pedaling away? That means your morning paper has arrived, you Most Salubrious Newspaper. In this issue, we ask, “Have we unleashed another Jonestown massacre – every day?” And while we’re on that subject, “As long as the Kool Aid is laced with cyanide, does it really matter what flavor it is?” That being …
Today marks exactly 198 years
Can you imagine having a tooth pulled without novocaine? Having an ingrown toenail treated without local anesthesia? What about having a wound of some kind cauterized with a red-hot poker while you’re watching, fully alert? As one doctor says in this week’s cover articles, medicine at one time was like the Spanish Inquisition. The screams of patients haunted him decades …
Here’s our annual CB radio issue. 10-4?
Just kidding, boys and girls. It’s all about health, wellness, and medicine. If that sounds like a yawner when you were expecting CB radio, then maybe you need to get out more. Health and wellness are, well, like this horse: What’s in this issue? All kinds of cool stuff. Just nothing about CB radio. Sorry!
Today’s paper!
Delivered electronically, completely free of Fido saliva, ants from the front yard, ink smudges on your face and hands, etc. And as always, compared to the print edition it’s slightly more typo-free. Have you ever thought to yourself, “Smokers are crazy”? Well, you’re correct, and we have proof, right there on page one, courtesy of John Gever of MedPage Today. …
HOT OFF THE PRESS!
Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! It’s today’s fresh, crisp Medical Examiner. And it’s even crisper than the print version. “Why?” you, the reader, ask.

Eight Nine Thirteen
It’s today’s fresh, crisp digital edition of Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper, the Medical Examiner. Dive in and you’ll get antidotes to several pernicious excuses for not exercising.

The latest issue!
Seriously. The very latest issue. Thanks to alert reader Ann (and un-alert publisher Dan) last week’s Medical Examiner has been posted only at Issuu.com (www.issuu.com/medicalexaminer), not here. 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. And we’re not suggesting you live on celery, either. No, we even have a feature article about the benefits of snacks. So go ye forth and read, cover to cover. Just click on the …
Today’s Examiner:
Want an extra reason to pore over the pages of this issue (this Issuu)? We can’t find the Mystery Word on any of the copies we’ve looked at, and we know exactly where it is. It’s a printing press thing. It happens sometimes. The online version, on the other hand, is always infinitely clean and crisp, and you can enlarge …
The digital examiner
