Health
My girlfriend’s mother gave me a very interesting book to read on my flight back from vacation. It is “Complications” by Atul Gawande. For me, the book is a fascinating, real life look at the kind of things that go on in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. Personally, I think that the show’s creators have read it. They may have been inspired by or informed by it. At least one of the cases mentioned in the book was enacted in an episode during the second season.
This is one of those books that really ought to be read by everyone. Occasionally I come across a book like this. It has important information in it. The author talks about issues and ideas that most people don’t really think about. They probably don’t need to think about them all the time but there occasions when it could be very important. We all get sick and we all have to deal with the healthcare industry. At some point we will all put ourselves and our well-being into the hands of another person. This book deals with the circumstances and possible ramifications of that act.
Found online: MenuPages, on of my most-often consulted resources for restaurant information, has recently received a new design. This is a huge improvement over the previous website. It’s always nice to see a website redesign result in improvement. It doens’t always.
