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 …
Very warm off the press!
Yes, it’s yet another issue of The World’s Most Salubrious Newspaper, the Medical Examiner. (The print edition, to clarify, is Augusta’s Most Salubrious Newspaper.) This issue is, as usual, chock full of splendid reading that will encourage you to live, eat, and sleep healthier. Our 3-word mantra: health, wellness, medicine. As this issue illustrates, sometimes the medicine comes in the …
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!

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. Because we usually spot any number of pesky typos after we send it to the printer. That means the digital version is what we call “typo lite.” (FDA approval pending) So crack …
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, …
The very latest issue!
To review, the regular 1st Friday issue date (July 5) was totally unworkable. We asked everyone to stay open on July 4th so we could deliver, but only 87 percent of all medical offices agreed, so we decided to postpone the Examiner by one week and go with the 2nd and 4th Fridays, this month and next. And so, without …
The crisp new Medical Examiner
Here you go, and you don’t even have to totter out to the end of the driveway in your pjs. Issue highlights: an eye-opening article about hearing loss. Listen up. Also, ::sniff, sniff:: the final column by Cindy Elia, our Ask A Dietitian columnist since 2008. Something else that’s new: the debut of our new Professional Directory. Use it to …
