Change is in the air!

For those long time and faithful readers of my blog, you may have noticed I have renamed this blog.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized the original name, livingwithmcl.com, was just not appropriate, so a new name seemed long overdue. I think Living with MCL, is a much better description of what this blog is about.

You might have also noticed that I added a new link, just to the left of the email me link above, entitled My Journal.

It seems that I have been hesitant to post many things to this blog (for fear that I will bore people and turn them off), that go on in my daily life, that I feel are important, at least from the perspective of keeping track of how normal, everyday occurrences affect or are affected by my MCL.

So I need to have another outlet, in order to express all my thoughts, anxieties, experiences, inspirations and what every else comes to mind during a typical day.

And while this is intended principally to satisfy my own selfish needs, I have no objection to anyone reading it, if they are so compelled.

Just be warned, don’t expect any brilliant revelations, or otherwise thrilling information to surface. Hopefully I’ll save that for this blog, as well as my blog at The Medical Blog Network.

It's been said that,

In times of change, learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.


Eric Hoffer said that, and while I don't think I need to go into any great detail explaining what he meant (it is fairly self explanatory), I would like to add one thing.

As we grow and society continues to evolve around us, we have to learn to adapt to our changing environment. If we don't, we are forced to live in the past, never experiencing all that life has to offer.

In simpler terms, change is a good thing!

Thank you Eric for reminding me of that!

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...
