Psychological healing and growth, as well as spiritual awakening, all involve changes in your brain. Until recently, these changes inside the "black box" of the brain were mysterious.

From the NYtimes:
"In 2000, the British psychologist James Reason wrote that medical systems are stacked like slices of Swiss cheese; there are holes in each system, but they don’t usually overlap. An exhausted intern writes the wrong dose of a drug, but an alert pharmacist or nurse catches the mistake. Every now and then, however, all the holes align, leading to a patient’s death or injury."
We have to fix the systems.

Myopia (nearsightedness), the most common form of refractive error, has a prevalence of about 10-30% in most Western countries, but this figure is as high as 80% in parts of Asia. Furthermore, myopic refractive error is likely to progress during school years, and maintaining appropriate spectacle correction requires regular services for children in these age groups.
A study of self correction of refractive error among young people in rural China showed that although visual acuity was slightly worse with self refraction than automated or subjective refraction, acuity was excellent in nearly all these young people with inadequately corrected refractive error at baseline. Inaccurate power was less common with self refraction than automated refraction.
Self refraction could decrease the requirement for scarce trained personnel, expensive devices, and cycloplegia in children’s vision programs in rural China.

WHO estimates that 210 million people have COPD worldwide. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death in the world, but by 2030 it is expected to be the 3rd, behind CAD and stroke (http://bit.ly/X5nje). COPD mortality is inversely correlated to the forced expiratory volume (FEV1) in 1 second (http://bit.ly/ZYIR7).
Here are the key recommendations from the recently published Guidelines for management of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):
1. Spirometry should be obtained to diagnose airflow obstruction in patients with respiratory symptoms. Spirometry should not be used to screen for airflow obstruction in individuals without respiratory symptoms.
2. For stable COPD patients with respiratory symptoms and FEV1 between 60% and 80% predicted, treatment with inhaled bronchodilators may be used.
3. For stable COPD patients with respiratory symptoms and FEV1 <60% predicted, inhaled bronchodilators should be used.
7. Clinicians should prescribe continuous oxygen therapy in patients with COPD who have severe resting hypoxemia (PaO2 ?55 mm Hg or SpO2 ?88%).

A few months ago, @Doctor_V and an anonymous doctor on Twitter had an argument, she closed her account and now DrV's blog is the only one left to tell the story: http://goo.gl/mIS3N
I understand and appreciate the arguments of both parties. However, when she deleted her Twitter account, we lost one side of the story forever.
All doctors should consider having online presence because they need to tell their side of the story.
For example, if the majority of pediatricians had blogs, the false autism/immunization link would not have become accepted by celebrities and misled a large part of the general public.
Arin Basu: Excellent point by Ves about how false findings spread (read the bit about immunization and autism). I think by the same stretch of logic, I'd strongly vouch for clinician-epidemiologists, and epidemiologists should have their own blogs, and take part in social media more often and raise awareness about findings and interpretation of studies. Well said, Ves.
