I hope you had a nice Memorial Day! I spent the weekend with some old friends at our new lake home in Brighton, Michigan. It was relaxing, but also a lot of learning (such as how to prevent geese from pooping on the beach, get a seadoo running, and tie nautical knots). In addition to […]

Here is my latest article on CNN.com. It’s inspired by a recent local story about a hematologist who allegedly misdiagnosed patients with cancer so he could charge for their chemotherapy. Most of us assume that our doctors are trustworthy. They undergo a minimum of seven years of postgraduate schooling, pass rigorous tests and are responsible […]
These are some interesting statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. I do a lot of lifting procedures and find that these have some of the highest satisfaction rates in plastic surgery. One thing that surprised me, 80% of people who lose weight gain it back!
