Blast from the Past Reblog of “Hoofing It Around the Hospital”
I thought it would be interesting to reblog this post “Hoofing It Around the Hospital,” originally posted on July 10, 2019. It’s a landmark of my path to retirement, which was a 3-year phased pathway. I was not on duty all the time in the hospital as a consultation-liaison psychiatrist, so it was sometimes a…

Sena Gives Up on Apple Cider Vinegar and How It Connects to Miracle Whip

Mall Walking Reblog!
On this date last year, I wrote about mall walking. The one problem is that if I walked out to the mall to do mall walking—it would feel redundant. It might even make me too tired to walk back home. I’ve gotten a bad case of shin splints doing that in the past. Driving out…
