		<description><![CDATA[There’s a moment (usually) around week four or thereabouts of teaching that I begin to glimpse a teensy glimmer, perhaps even a glint of comprehension. In cartoon lingo one of those little light bulbs, though often it’s kind of dim and dusty like the light at some tacky hotel you didn’t really want to stay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not long after I had managed to hurl myself down the Canada Line stairs (thankfully, not headlong) last week; even as I nursed giant multicolour bruises and a lump below my knee I found myself reflecting on the extraordinary, combined, resilience and fragility of the human body. On the one hand, practically before my eyes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given my previous curmudgeonly rants about the general uselessness of mammograms I was pleased, nay, delighted when when the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care issued new guidelines – ever-so-gently suggesting that perhaps this pop culture myth that ‘mammograms save lives”, especially that of younger women, is a crock. Naturally they phrased it in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, sitting with my friend Joan, who is American but has been living in Paris for some twelve years, talk turned to the U.S. and Obama and the Republicans and the general insanity that appears to have taken over American politics. And all one could do is shake one&#8217;s head. Today, Joan sent me this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the dishwasher broke. Again. It wasn’t the first or even the second time it had broken down but this time it hadn’t even been a year – the last time took two weeks for the part and over $300 to fix. It seemed time for a new one. The new one is from Asia [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to yesterday’s Globe and Mail, a report from the Vancouver Police Department identifies the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill as a major problem for police, who have become de facto mental health workers. “We certainly have identified individuals that we wonder whether it would be healthier – both for themselves and the community – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago when I was young, idealistic and – not to put too fine a point on it – an idiot, I truly believed that ideas, beliefs (like democracy) could drive action, states, life. I thought that if you had the right attitude then, by golly, the right institutions and governments would follow. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For years I have been whinging on about the overuse of medical technologies, in my writing, teaching, speaking (occasionally stooping so low as to corner a hapless victim at some dull cocktail party who’s made the mistake of innocently asking me what I do/am working on). And finally, the Archives of Internal Medicine has backed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No self-respecting curmudgeon would consider the current (federal) election a worthy topic of conversation (the superficial nonsense on health care alone is enough to put one to sleep), nevertheless given the ridiculous fact that it is even happening seems to require some kind of reaction. Mine is mostly boredom. Well, I do confess a that [...]]]></description>
