New Friends, Loose Ends

Ah, the cigarette anatomy class!

That double filtered Viceroy tip always messed me up on exams.

I could never get the number of filters right.

One nurse (on the left) had clinical experience with the double filter, so for her, this was just a review.

Wearing caps was a requirement for that class.

Just for the record, that is exactly how my cap looks except the stripe is forest green with a tiny gold stripe in the middle.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've added a couple of links to my sidebar.

Marcus at Fixin' Healthcare was his state's representative at the winter meeting of the National Governors Association.

The weekend was devoted to the 2006 Healthy America Forum. Marcus has devoted a series of posts to the topic(s) of the forum.

Many of us are exasperated by the state of healthcare, Marcus is actually in a position to help affect changes. Very exciting!

The first three posts should have been in Grand Rounds, but (ahem) they vanished into the ether and more have been posted. Check 'em out!

Treatment Online is a web site that describes itself as "... the internet destination for the very best in psychological support and evaluation."

Jon had submitted a great article from that site, on "ADHD and Amphetamines" that also pulled a vanishing act this week at GR.

It was a good article for me because I have little knowledge of ADHD, and yet saw a nephew's GPA rise from a 1.8 to a 3.8 after he was diagnosed at 14 and placed on medication. Another good read, sure to be controversial in some areas.

And I think that brings me up-to-date on missing linkage! LOL!

Oh, do yourself a favor and click on Doc Around the Clock on my sidebar to check out his parody of "American Idol" called "American Demerol". It's so good Randy would put him in the dawg pound!!! Get ready to split a gut laughing......
