February 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment
A few really interesting posts over at the sustainability site this week. Both gave me some things to seriously consider: *Managing up, or the art of positioning people to effect positive change *What do we teach the future nurse?

The Economic Impact of Violence
February 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment
AVA has some good resources on their site. One of the ones I really like is this 2009 presentation on the economic impact of violence, given by Dr. Amy Bonomi and Dr. Phaedra Corso. It’s definitely not the highest quality video, but the content is good stuff, and this is one of my favorite topics. [...]

Proposed Changes to the DSM
February 10, 2010 | 1 Comment
The APA has posted proposed revisions to the DSM that might be of interest. Comments can be submitted until April 20th should you be so inclined (the DSM-V is due to be published in 2013). Rewriting the DSM has not been without controversy, thus far.

February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Time once again for a run down of some of the new and noteworthy articles in the current literature (something I almost forgot to do this month!). All of these are from the late January/February/March issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that [...]

February 8, 2010 | 1 Comment
Guess where I am not today? If you said Washington DC, you are correct. Because the travel gods not only ignored any prayers, they clearly laughed at those prayers, tossed them on the floor and then did a happy dance all over them. The good news is I have an unexpected 3 days at home, [...]

Looking for Medical Record Forms
February 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, I have been creating them from the same 2 medical record forms for years now, so it’s time to mix it up a bit. I am in search of electronic blank medical record forms for the following areas: Emergency, Forensics, L&D, [...]

There’s some good stuff over at the Sustainability site this week. I hope you’ll check it out: *A new blog in town! NSVRC has added the Engaged Bystander blog.

Alternate Light Source, Part 2
February 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Last spring, I published a piece examining alternate light sources as a tool for semen and other bodily fluid detection. I promised I would come back with a piece on using ALS to identify and photograph injury not obvious or visible to the naked eye. Coincidentally I’ve been asked for some predicate questions by a [...]

It was really only a matter of time: FHO is now on Facebook. I’ll be posting relevant news articles and other print resources on our page, so there won’t be a lot of duplication between the 2 sites. Hope to see you there!

White Ribbon Campaign Global Webinar
February 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment
The White Ribbon Campaign is a Canadian organization focusing on men stopping men’s violence against women. I am a big fan, no question. (Personal disclosure: I have their posters plastered all over my office. They’re fantastic.). The Pixel Project is hosting a webinar featuring one of their staffers as part of their Weekend Webinar series.
