What If Life Had a Rewind Button?

Nov 25, 2013
I sat in the rocking chair in the nursery in our house holding my youngest child, alone. I may have sat there thousands of times and have rocked four different babies in that chair, but at that moment, time stopped. I looked around the room and saw the crib and changing table and reminisced about where they were situated in our…[...]

Nov 22, 2013

Nov 21, 2013

Maladies of Electronic Health Record Technologies: Scars of Poor Implementation and The Dangers of What We Don’t Know

Nov 20, 2013

State of Denial: Hospital Throws Transplant Kidney in Trash, Still Denies Responsibility

Nov 19, 2013
One question lawyers get all the time is how a criminal defendant who "everyone knows is guilty" can plead not guilty and have a trial. Well, that's simply a function of how our system works. The criminal defendant, armed with the presumption of innocence, can "put the state to its proof" and require the government to put on a case that…[...]

Nov 18, 2013
Have you ever thought about creating a bucket list? I'm not sure I understand the difference between a bucket list and fulfilling a dream. However, not so long ago, I had an occasion to consider what I would do if I was told that my days were numbered? What was it I needed to get done on that bucket list? A…[...]

Nov 14, 2013
"We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small...gifts." These words were written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German pastor, theologian and reformer. Beautiful words. Inspiring words. But they are all the more beautiful and inspiring when you consider the context in which they were written. When the Nazis rose to power, Bonhoeffer refused to surrender…[...]

These promises are made with the hopes ofenticing more people to purchase policies from the insurer and increasing the premiums collected by the company.
