  1. Is your doctor getting enough sleep?

    Health
    Waking up in the middle of the night to work is hard, but it’s much more difficult when you’re dealing with matters of life and death. I remember those days when my father was going through his residency program. When he was working overnight,...

  2. In Theory: Are cell towers a part of God's call?

  3. Hospitals crack down on workers refusing flu shots

  5. Should genetically modified foods be labeled?

    Several dozen activists rallied at the state Capitol on Wednesday for a bill that would require labeling of any food made with genetically modified ingredients. The activists say that consumers have a right to know what they’re eating. California voters just rejected a measure that would have labeled genetically altered food. The FDA says genetically modified food doesn’t differ significantly from conventional food. So-called “bioengineered” ingredients have been around for decades and are now in most processed foods, such as potato chips and cereal. The American Medical Association also said there was "no scientific justification for special labeling of genetically modified foods, as a class.” What’s your view?

  6. Stop telling me to go on a diet

    I hate the season of New Year’s resolutions. Even if you don’t make any pledges, or proclaim that you’re above this annual practice, you can’t avoid resolution-mania. Every media outlet is saturated with reminders to get in shape -- physical, financial or otherwise. And every social media feed has everyone you know and their mom and your mom echoing the same yearly promises.

  7. Gun lobby has squelched injury prevention research, doctors charge

    One week after 20-year-old Adam Lanza used guns to kill 20 first-graders and seven adults before shooting himself, two physicians published <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1487470">a Viewpoint article</a> in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. asking what the medical and public health community can do to prevent massacres like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., from being repeated.

  12. Let there be dark

    When I was a child, I knew real darkness.
    When I was a child, I knew real darkness. At my family's cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. But now, when 8 of...
