Hits and Misses

20 thoughts on “Hits and Misses”

  1. “Cold weather kills”

    I guess people don’t know how to put on a sweater, or light a fire.

  2. “Are the benefits of exercise due to a single molecule?”

    Pill-based exercise, here we come.

  3. What happens when a Doctor googles a liver transplant patient and sees that they are drinking on facebook?

    1. Doctors will now be able to observe behaviors and see how their patients got their certain ailments.

  4. “Patients with more money to spend are happier with their doctors.”

    Is this news? Is this really unexpected? Has common sense become so lacking that this surprises us?

  5. “There, on MugShots.com, was a younger version of my patient’s face, with details about how she had been detained for cocaine possession more than three decades earlier.”

    Cocaines a hell of a drug. Could it impact her examination?

  6. If my doctor googles me then I hope he finds the right person, because misinformation or a shared name could cost me dearly.

  7. “The molecule behind the benefits of exercise has been found”

    Or you can get on a treadmill.

  8. Cold weather kills more people than hot weather…

    Basically, we’re all going to die of something. Extreme heat speeds up the process by days or weeks; extreme cold speeds up the process by years or decades.

  9. Cold weather kills more people than hot weather; the cold is also responsible for more annual deaths than leukemia, homicide, and chronic liver disease.

    This is interesting considering it’s cheaper to raise ambient air temperature 1 degree than cool it 1 degree.

  10. Is your doctor googling you? I don’t care if my doctor Googles me. I’ve Googled people I’ve met to make sure they are who they say they are. I’ve even Googled myself to see what the Internet has to say about me.
