Big Mo Pod Show- “Goodness is a Practice”
I’m out of sync with the Big Mo Blues Show and his podcast, mostly because we’re in the middle of this big move and we’re staying in a hotel waiting for this house to be built. I missed his most recent show, but caught the one before that. The podcast title was “Goodness is a…

Back to the Clear Creek Trail
We’re moving back a little closer to Coralville although technically we’ll still be in Iowa City. We always used to walk the Clear Creek Trail. It’ll be good to be back.

When Do We Get Out of the Woods?
We were out walking the Terry Trueblood Trail the other day. It’s always good to get out of the hotel where we’re staying until our house is built. I get this cooped up feeling and it feels great to escape. While we were on the trail, we saw this huge field of giant, golden prairie…

One rodman, one instrument man, and a crew chief who organized the job, which could be property or construction jobs. Nowadays, you get…

Reminiscence of My Younger Days
The other day we had some stormy weather roll across central Iowa, although it was not as bad as the tornado that swept through Greenfield. We hope the best for them. We didn’t actually get a tornado, but I remember wondering why the siren went off about 6:00 a.m. It woke me up and I…

Another Look at the C-L Psychiatry Pecha Kucha
Back in 2018, one of my emergency room staff physicians asked me to do a Pecha Kucha on what a consultation-liaison psychiatrist does. If you know what a pecha kucha is, you can understand why it was challenging for me to put it together and present it. Although you may have seen the video I…

The Dirty Dozen on Delirium in WordPress: A Shortcode Presentation
When I was a consultation-liaison psychiatrist I taught trainees in different ways. One of them was what I called the Dirty Dozen slide sets. They were on various basic topics that are important for psychistrists to know. I tried to put the most important points on only a dozen powerpoint slides. After I started blogging…
