I attended the MIAC swimming and diving championships at the U of M Friday evening.  I was helping out D3sports with some photography.

I think Pat should add www.d3swimminganddiving.com to his ever expanding array of sites.

I agree...Alfred University's men's team went undefeated in dual meets this season and, as dual meet Empire 8 champ, has a good shot at winning the New York State Championships this weekend. A win at States will give the Saxons, I believe, their second state championship in three (or four) years.

What about drivers-DBD-with the drinking I would bet the driving must suffer.

You mean he didn't freeze to death on the way down?  And just how soft can asphalt be in January?  This guy would seem to be luckier than even he realizes - he should start buying lottery tickets.

tmerton, your link further validates my point.

This guy who was so schweeled up that he fell 16 stories out of a hotel in the Minneapolis and lived to tell about it.......

Thanks for your assistance with Ryan's project -- you guys generated a ton of MIAC photos.

ROR, the reason I know that it is the last episode of THE OC is that it is one of my favorite shows. I love Orange County and the coast so much. Does this make me a dork, given my age? I will leave that up to TDT. There is a feature story on the show in USA today, page 4D.

The burger is ordered for the Stiftungsfestivities this Saturday afternoon, hopefully at UST when the Johnnies come to St. Paul for the MIAC basketball championship. Hopefully the weather will be nice.

I had no idea.

My pleasure.  It's really hard to shoot pictures when the participants are under water 99% of the time
they are competing.

Well I just came across this GEM in Theowick's Underground News...made me laugh so hard I cried.

Q: Why should you always invite TWO Bethel students to go fishing with you?
A: If you only invite one, he'll drink all your beer. Invite two and they won't drink any.

That may be the funniest and most accurate joke I have ever heard made about Bethel. Props for that one

The worst part was that the doctors had to arrange their schedule for the first trial-now they have to do so again-or maybe that is a good thing-they will not be able to "treat" patients, who could be potential plaintiffs.

From what I have read about the case and the medical side of it, Weis experienced a common complication of surgery; bleeding. Any surgeon who has more than a handful of brain cells would have explained this risk in the informed consent Weis signed before surgery.

A CT scan is the best diagnostic tool to look for internal bleeds available. If Weis' physical exam was normal and the CT showed no signs of any internal hemorrhage, 99% of all doctors would miss the bleed. This would put it outside the realm of standard of care therefore no malpractice occured.

Let me add the disclaimer that I don't have all the facts in the case and that I may be prone to a biased opinion. Despite this, I will honestly admit there are cases where malpractice suits are legit and that when used appropriately, malpractice law is an important check and balance on the medical field.

As far as Weis' claim of nerve damage secondary to the bleed/leak, I can't even fathom a mechanism where a bleed would cause leg nerve damage. I'd love to hear his lawyer's explanation of how that works.

Note to all pp readers/lurkers: don't let yourself get to 350 lbs, then you don't have to worry about the risks of these "lazy people" surgeries. "Why work out and eat right when I can eat myself halfway into the grave and have a doctor come bail me out?" Great logic Charlie.


I find it interesting that seeing the doctors help a person who is sick clouds their judgement such that they can no longer be jurors, however hearing a bunch of allegations about how they screwed up all over the news media doesn't.

Breast milk is for babies. It serves no purpose beyond 12 months of age. It's great for helping the immune system in newborns and for bonding as well as to save money, but when your kid is old enough to tell you he/she wants to breast feed, it's been going on too long.



Funny story from my peds rotation:
A hispanic lady brought her 2yr old son in for ear pain. I took a look and he had an ear infection. We gave her some antibiotics and sent her home. She brings him back in 2 weeks later for us to re-check the ear, I look in the kid's ear and all I see is white curdy junk. It took me about 15 min to spoon all this crap out of the ear so I could see his eardrum, which was fine. The ear infection was 100% gone.

When I asked the mom what the stuff in his ear was, she got a very big "I'm proud of me for being so smart" grin on her face and told me the following:
"My friend told me that breast milk was good to prevent and help treat ear infections, so I've been putting breast milk in his ear."

I had just spent 15 min removing human cottage cheese from a kids ear because mom didn't realize that breast milk TAKEN ORALLY is what her friend meant, not put in the frickin' ear!





Thing you may not have known about medicine fact of the day:

Most ear infections are middle ear infections (inside the ear drum). Unless it is perforated (has a hole in it), the eardrum is impenetrable to liquids. Therefore if you've ever been given a prescription for ear drops for a middle ear infection and you didn't have a hole in your eardrum, you wasted your money.

Breast MILK serves no purpose beyond 12 months of age. Breasts serve a purpose until about 40. Then they start migrating south.
