Many of you have probably followed the case of the 2 Texas nurses who reported an emergency department physician’s negligent practice to the state medical board and were ultimately prosecuted for doing so. Now Medscape has a follow-up article on the story with some excellent points for us to consider about our professional and ethical [...]

In my continuing quest to provide better access to free CME/CEUs for FHO readers, I decided to trawl through Medscape tonight and round up 20 offerings that can be completed quickly and easily. A couple caveats, though: 1.) not all of them are for RNs–physician and midlevel only CEs are marked accordingly; 2.) these things [...]

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.

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 [...]

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. 
 Now the Sustainability blog has a friend:)

*An article that had me alternately laughing and a little embarrassed: 
  6 words non-profits should avoid (for all you grant writing and 
  marketing types out [...]

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 [...]

I’m hanging out in the Detroit airport hoping my late night flight home won’t get cancelled with all the snow falling out there. So I have just enough time to post some pretty interesting news from the EC front. Seems like there’s a new option on the horizon…

This week over at the Sustainability site:

*The beauty of under-reacting, and why you might want to indulge in a
  little under-reacting yourself

*Social networking and Twitter: check out who else is expressing 
 themselves in 140 characters or less…

By the way, this week marks my last full week at home for the foreseeable future. Starting Monday, I will be on the [...]

I’ve been meaning to get a new clinical guide up, but this one has been a challenge. See, injury photography hasn’t been written up extensively in the literature. What is out there is by and large pretty old (you’ll see several Polaroid references in the resources I share). Still, all of these have something to offer forensic [...]

I’ve been remiss in keeping the sustainability site stocked with new posts. My travel schedule as such has meant only a couple posts over the past 2 weeks. So today’s wrap-up is a couple weeks of content, which sadly doesn’t amount to a ton of info. But what’s there I really like:

* Meeting ground rules, something [...]
