December 29, 2010 | 1 Comment
Remember the saga of the 2 nurses in Texas who were fired and faced felony charges for bringing an anonymous complaint against a physician with whom they worked?

December 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment
What could be better on a Monday morning than an STD slideshow? Right. I figure this 1st day back to work post-Christmas, I’d give you all something easy. Especially since so many folks are off this week. Over at Medscape they have this slideshow, and while it’s more diagnosis and management than many of you need, [...]

December 16, 2010 | 1 Comment
This week, several new sexual violence-related campaigns have come across my desk–actually, across my Facebook page, which is far better organized than my desk. I thought I’d take a minute to share them, as they are all very different, but very thought-provoking. The first comes from our friends at EVAW, who have launched their Start By [...]
