FOOD FIGHT: I saw this video yesterday, then woke up today to news of a shooting near the Kroc Center. As this amazing video would put it, burgers are killin’ more brothers than bullets. But bullets get the headlines. This is such a significant issue, illuminated by this video very creatively. It just gets better and better as it rolls …
HUMP DAY HIATUS (version 3.27)
If this isn’t the most sublime and profound Hump Day Hiatus we’ve ever posted, it’s certainly Top 10. It’s cake for artistic creativity alone. But throw in the underlying environmental message and it will definitely give you food for thought before you turn ye old ignition key next time. All in all, this is well worthy of HDH HOF status. …
PSA of the Week
Supposedly in response to the Steubenville case, but it certainly applies in all places at all times.
Time for a break?
Yes, we have reached that point in each week – Hump Day – when it’s time to take a hiatus, even if for only a few minutes. This week we present an amazing tale: a short film which tells the story of a remote island jungle, transformed by labor and toil into a bustling city, in fact, a premiere resort …
Break time!
Congratulations! You’ve made it halfway through the week. You deserve a break. Let’s go someplace we’ve never been: Africa! Take an armchair journey through the beautiful countryside of Rwanda.

BREAK TIME!!!
Yes, boys and girls, we have reached the magical half-way point in our weekly labors. Time for a refreshing break, a.k.a., the Medical Examiner’s celebrated Hump Day Hiatus. At first, this video may have you thinking, what does this have to do with health, wellness and medicine, our three bywords. By way of an answer, some of you may recall …
I Hate Monday
Drug abuse is a hateable thing, although I wouldn’t aim my guns at the users first. I realize there are people who stupidly try drugs once, a single time, perhaps out of curiosity, maybe yielding to peer pressure, wanting to look cool, maybe after a few drinks and so not really thinking clearly – and that’s it: meth and crack …
