Volunteer
When a disaster happens, everyone needs help. They may not think they do, but they do. Although it is nearly impossible for most of us to physically go to Oklahoma and volunteer, there are ways for everyone to be of help.

Moore, OK
Seems as if tragedy can strike anywhere at any time and leaves no one free from the fear of it. As I sat and watched the television seeing the magnitude of the twister, I thought, is this for real?? Can this actually be happening? Although it is very far from where I live in New Jersey, I can relate to […]
Experiences
I have certainly been blessed with all of the doctors who have helped care for me.

Checking Your Personality
Sometimes, you and your doctor may not chime. It may be a new doctor or even an old one, but if for any reason things are not comfortable, you need to express this out loud. I remember feeling uneasy with one doctor; I felt as though he was very knowledgeable but had a terrible bedside manner. In other words, he spoke to […]
