There is *so* much in the news that is pretty fascinating. I tried to unplug this weekend, but when I was awake at 3am this morning there was plenty to keep me occupied, article-wise. What follow is just some of what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:

Well, it’s hard to believe, but I won’t be stepping foot in an airport for 5 weeks. Just one road trip this week to spend some qulity time with the Army in Charlottesville, but aside from that, my work is all local. Gives me a little breathing room, and some time to catch up on [...]

Since Last We Spoke, Jet Lag Edition
June 2, 2013 | 1 Comment
First off, thanks for the lovely comments and emails from last week’s post. I heart FHO readers in a big way. Secondly, I know it’s not Monday where most of you are, but it is Monday here (albeit really, really early on Monday here). So since I’m awake, how about a run down of what [...]

Articles of Note: May 2013
May 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly review of what’s new and noteworthy in the peer-reviewed literature. This is a particularly good list–there’s just so much that’s interesting in the journals right now. As always, email me if you want the word doc. Otherwise the embedded doc should have working hyperlinks (thank you [...]

May 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

Since Last We Spoke (Nurses Day Edition)
May 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment
A quick post to wish everyone a happy Nurses Day (in the US, or International Nurses Day, which is Sunday–you pick). I’m heading out the door to SoCal for a couple different stops with the Marines (1st defense, then prosecution, so should be a lively week), but I managed to get a little reading done [...]

10 Things: Non-Clinical Resources
April 23, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I get a lot of questions about the resources I rely on–what are the essential books, journals and websites I turn to to do this work. I am a firm believer that you can find relevance anywhere you choose to look for it. I am also a firm believer that all knowledge makes you better [...]

I don’t know about you, but last week I reached my news saturation point. By Friday night I had to shut down my electronics and just get away from all of it. (My eyes needed a break, as the brilliant Amy Poehler stated.) So a lot of what I’ve been reading *isn’t* about Boston, but [...]

How to Avoid Virtual Miscommunication
April 16, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Because almost everything I do professionally is virtual, save some of the teaching and testimony work, being able to communicate online is pretty vital. But I don’t think you have to be in the consulting business to understand why it is a critical skill, and clinicians aren’t exempt from this. So I loved Harvard Business Blog’s [...]
