Medical news

I guess I needed to be "schooled" about what's going on at a certain school.  If you possibly read my last posting about Albany Medical Center and their landing on the "Top 10 List of Most Ridiculous Research On Animals" (according to the Times Union), you might find that I probably didn't do enough explaining.  Here was a response to that post

Albany Medical College is a prestigious organization.  They are a cornerstone of our medical community.  They've won many awards, I'm sure.  I'm not sure they want to win this one though.

You don't realize it, but that pesky little iPhone or Droid that you pick up 500 times a day could be infested with bacteria.  In fact, it's been proven so.  You can't take it into the bath with you - so what CAN you do?

Okay, I stand corrected here.  No problem.  Heck, if you're wrong, you're wrong - might as well own up to it.  My last blog about Albany Medical College winning the "Most Ridiculous Research of Animals" award might need a little bit of clarification.  Time to get "schooled" on this issue from someone in the know

This summer, many high school teenagers in the Albany area and college students returning home will be looking for jobs. Do you own a business? Will you have jobs for these kids available?

I couldn't believe it.  We let the little guy out, he squats in the woods for a moment and does his thing.  That's his entire experience with "the wild".  Otherwise he walks on the street.  How did he get lime disease?  Well, I guess he's not alone.

A coroner’s report shows singer Whitney Houston died from drowning in a hotel bathtub.  The report was released Thursday along with other autopsy findings.

That's right, Mr. Headline writer.  I am really in a seriously bad mood about my physician.  How's yours?  Do you have one you could recommend who actually RECOGNIZES YOU when you come in, even though you've been going there for YEARS?  I could go on and on, and I will (in song parody form)

Some of the ads they have out there are too graphic to show here, so I'm not going down that road.  But I am asking the question: Are these disturbing images of people coughing, breathing with oxygen tanks etc working?

Albany - A criminal investigation is underway at Albany Medical Center after mercury was discovered in the hospital’s cafeteria.

New safety warnings have been issued by federal health officials regarding a widely prescribed group of cholesterol-lowering medications.

Price Chopper has issued a voluntary recall of its five and eight-inch streusel-topped pies.
