http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/07/self-diagnosis-on-internet-not-good-practice/

Interesting article from the Harvard Gazette about a study of medical symptom-checking web sites.

“In many cases, getting the exact diagnosis may not be as important as getting the correct advice about whether — or how quickly — to go to the doctor.

“It’s not nearly as important for a patient with fever, headache, stiff neck, and confusion to know whether they have meningitis or encephalitis as it is for them to know that they should get to an ER quickly,”

9:33pm Philip

A sea lion, Cajun and my cooking

July 9, 2015 Thursday

6:50am

From the Pulptastic Facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/pulptastic/?fref=nf

This sea Lion meets and has a nap with her rescuers everyday.

Last year, a Galapagos sea lion named Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to make it to this hotel, where animal advocates nursed her back to health for 3 months. After she was fully healed, she was released back into the wild. But every day, she returns to rest with the humans who rescued her, after being out at sea all day. She is now pregnant and expecting within a month.

12:41pm
