“Lives” Column in the Sunday Times
January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I’ll be honest with you–last week was not my best week. I can muscle my way through almost anything, with good game face, to boot. But last week I succumbed to a migraine, and as I’m sure many of you know, there’s nothing more humbling than being alone in an ED in a city very [...]

Bath Salts
January 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I had a reader send me a question regarding bath salts, which she reports is increasingly common in her emergency department. She asked if there was any decent info out there to share with colleagues, since most of what’s on the internet is of unknown quality, or is an actual how-to (either make or obtain). [...]

Happy 3rd Anniversary, FHO
January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment
In the crazy post-holiday hustle I somehow lost track of the fact that January 6th was the 3rd Anniversary of FHO. Thanks to everyone who helps support this nerdy little hobby that has become a truly integral part of my professional world. And please keep coming to me with ideas and suggestions for growing and [...]

Articles of Note: January Edition
January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment
It’s time once again for Articles of Note. These are a selection from the late December and January peer-reviewed journals that have caught my attention. Remember, it’s in no way a comprehensive or exhaustive list, but it’s an excellent place to start. The majority of the links will take you to PubMed. There are also [...]

Don’t Be Nice, Be Kind
January 4, 2012 | 4 Comments
I’m not much for resolutions, but this is a piece that used to hang in my old home office (and now still hangs virtually in my Evernote box) that never seems to lose its impact. I don’t remember who initially introduced me to it, but it never stops resonating with me. It seems like a [...]

Connection Between DV and Stalking
January 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment
January is Stalking Awareness Month, and over at VAWNet, there’s a great overview on the connection between domestic violence and stalking. By all means, click on the citations, as well, which will take you to full text documents. Good points to support any argument for expanding dv screening to include stalking behaviors.
