Living with Alzheimer’s

North is to south what the clock is to time
There’s east and there’s west and there’s everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I’ll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

Arrogance, humility, and the podcast launch

Good practice for docs to read such reports weekly—an excellent reminder of how little we know.

Podcast is up!

Thank you all for cajoling me into doing a podcast. It’s been a lot more enjoyable producing them than I anticipated.

Breaking2

Does it help to know your coronary artery calcium score?

I read an interesting paper on fitness, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study. This paper looked at “generally healthy middle-aged men” and associations between their level of aerobic fitness, CAC scores, and risk for CVD. So why was this interesting to me (and by extension, should you care)?

Comedy plus time…

So much of this doc really spoke to me, but two things, in particular, stood out.

Simulators, treating depression, and management of T1D with diet

For extra points, be sure to pronounce it correctly, it’s pronounced “roof,” not “ruff”

MDMA and zero LDL-C

Another interesting read is the “zero LDL-cholesterol hypothesis” paper
