When I was in medical school the omentum, that fatty membrane in the abdomen that covers the abdominal cavity and its organs, was believed to be no more than a repository for fat.

Why Doctors Should not Just Treat Symptoms
submitted by: admin on 10/27/2014
No one wants to suffer. Most of the time we go to our doctor because we don't feel well and we want something to make us feel better.

We don't ask for the meaning of our symptoms in the context of our whole...

Why We Should Drug Test Doctors and Nurses
submitted by: admin on 11/19/2014
In November of 2014 voters in California voted against making it mandatory for doctors to undergo drug testing.

Ghost writing is common in medical research. Big pharma employs writers who excel at making the conclusions it needs to sell a drug.
