These blogs open a window into the medical community. You may be surprised that physicians have the same concerns about health and medical care as you , and some that you are unaware of. Most importantly, you will find they are on your side; they care about you,their patients, probably a lot more than you care about them.

As a blogger, I enjoy reading and supporting other bloggers, especially others who write about health, fitness, nutrition, and medical science.
These bloggers’ viewpoints often surprise and challenge me; I don’t always agree with them and you may not either.
Here is a blog I followed which is now dormant but still available with some interesting topics.
” ‘Alert and Oriented’ is a medical phrase that describes the mental status of a patient who, despite being in serious shock from trauma or disease, maintains clarity of mind and focus of thought.
Based on the heart rhythm, this patient is likely alert and oriented.
Dr. Accad blogs about the healthcare system, the doctor-patient relationship, medical ethics, medical economics, and healthcare policy.

Lent, running from Ash Wednesday to Easter, involves fasting and giving up pleasures. Protestants, once skeptical, now embrace Lent. Scott Hubbard advocates embracing it as a path to refocus and encounter Jesus. Resources are recommended, including a devotional by Alicia Britt Chole. Lent is seen as an opportunity for spiritual growth and reflection.
To observe Lent some people commit to fasting from certain foods or drinks or giving up certain pleasurable activities or habits during the 40 days before Easter.
Some people choose to do something, like performing a service to others, doing a meditative or spiritual activity, or some repetitive action to remind them of the season.
In this article, Scott Hubbard explains how Protestants first rejected, but now embrace Lent and offers resources on observing Lent in a new way.
Consider the days ahead as an opportunity — as one more path you might walk to focus your scattered attention, warm your heart’s affections, and meet the risen Jesus afresh.
What if you fasted regret? What if your friends fasted comparison? What if your generation fasted escapism? What if your community fasted spectatorship? Trigger a spiritual revolution with this daily devotional for Lent.
Decrease life’s unnecessary details and increase your relationship with the Lord so you can live in awe of Christ’s resurrection!
40 Days of Decrease is a guide for those hungering for a fresh Lenten/Easter experience. Dr. Alicia Britt Chole guides you through a study of Jesus’ uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world’s illusions, embrace His kingdom’s realities, and journey cross-ward and beyond.

Beyond fasting
If we want to make the most of this annual opportunity (Lent), we’ll do more than just give something up.
We’ll silence ourselves before the Sovereign who became a servant. We’ll fasten our eyes upon him as he teaches and heals and smiles and weeps — the only upright man in a world of cracked and curved impostors
Scott Hubbard
