Of course, I'm not referring to your doctor who, likeMary Poppins, is practically perfect in every way. But let'sjust say that the rest of us physicians have things we could dobetter.... Taking time to actually stop and get to know thepatient.I know one lady who says she has a better relationship with thecheckout clerk at the grocery store than with her physician.It's true that doctors have a legitimate need to see a certainvolume of patients in order to cover practice-expenses and stillhave money to take home. This translates into a limited amountof time per patient. However, some of the time-pressure doctorsfeel they are under is of their own making, and even the sameamount of time might be better spent.

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:13:10 -0500

I took my family to Winterfest this past weekend. Science North, a science museum had an interactive workshop, we had to go.It was a good thing no one told the kids these were educational toys, it may have quieted the shouting, laughter and astonishment. The amazing science kits ranged from building bridges to exploding candy.

These aren't just educational toys, these are life lessons. And the level of parent participation and encouragement was heart warming.Kids used K'Nex to build bridges and towers, then used steel weights to test the strength of their engineering creations in both bending and compression. These educational toys were demonstrating engineering principles that university students study, and these kids were aged to .Next up was Magic Mud. This ...
