These past many
days have been difficult for people across the country as we all struggle
to come to grips with the horrific actions of Tuesday, Sept. 11.
- Cost
of the cure
-
- Increasingly, too
much about the profession of "healing" is measured in terms
of dollars and cents. As the cost of living rises, so does the cost
of treating patients, and of caring for one's own health.

- Hearing
important when driving
Crowded roadways
and distractions such as car phones, the car radio and traffic noise
can make driving a stressful experience for anyone. For drivers with
hearing loss, the challenges are even greater.
Packing
it on
Across the nation,
millions of elementary, high school and college students are racing
out to the school bus or scurrying to their classes with overstuffed
backpacks slung over their shoulders. While carrying a backpack to
school each morning might seem harmless enough, it can cause some
painful back and neck problems for students who don't pack or carry
their backpacks properly.
- Good
posture important for good health
-
-
Throughout
the ages good posture has been a symbol of elegance, grace, vitality
and even nobility.
