I can remember learning about King Richard III when I was but a “wee lassie” back in the late 1960s but the only thing I can really remember about him is that he was a strange looking bloke with a dodgy haircut, a hunch back and that he died in a battle back in the 15th century or thereabouts!

Open Letter to Kaiser Permanente:
Unhealthy Business Model

Subject: Unhealthy Business Model

Dear Kaiser,

Despite all of our efforts for following your advice for taking responsibility for our health we are not seeing that you are even willing to provide us any incentives or rewards for our doing so. We do not smoke, take any prescription drugs or have any reasons to use your services except for preventative health visits.

In an emergency, would you know whether you should rush yourself or your child to the emergency room for medical sticthes, or whether it will be OK if you just slap on a band-aide and apply a little pressure? This article gives you a handy guide that explains exactly when a doctor needs to see an injury, and when you might decide to get medical sutures. Great article to keep handy.
