A very seasonal PSA

It’s really easy this time of year to amass debt that can take months (if not years) to repay. And while you’re doing it (paying it off slowly and laboriously), you would be extremely hard-pressed to remember even 5% of what you bought. The better course may not do a lot for the economy, but it will do a lot …

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:

Today’s issue, here.

In this issue: the breast cancer no one talks about; breaking bad news: how to do it – and how not to do it; Urology Q&A; bullying prevention; the man behind the best-selling poster of all time; medical myths; Bad Billy on personal space; financial planning advice from The Money Doctor…. and tons more good reading!

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. You know, the kind of things our parents used to do to us for five hours. Mothers are being hauled off to jail; kids are being …

I Love Monday

I love honesty. It’s a great concept, and in nearly every situation too. (There are exceptions, such as the does-this-dress-make-me-look-fat exception.) A great place for honesty is in nutrition and health. Look at these cupcakes. They are honest. They fairly scream words like sugary-sweet, fattening, guilty pleasure, artery-clogging, Red Dye #2 – and delicious. They aren’t fake. You’ve got to …

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 …

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 …
