Think about life today. Compare it to 5, 10, 15 years ago and certainly your childhood. Life is not the same. We live in a technology-driven world that is progressing, at the speed of light! It is challenging and changing the way we live, learn and even how we communicate, process and trust information. Technology is changing the way we practice Medicine and certainly the communication between Doctor and Patient. The Internet is an endless abyss of information, from fact to fiction and certainly to opinions born out of first-hand experience or plain ignorance. Continue reading “Dr. Google”

Pelvic Talk?
I spend a large part of my day evaluating, treating and assuring the health of that which involves the center of gravity for every female – her pelvis. We have to boast as females we are carefully constructed for whatever comes our way – you name it! A mother is the center of gravity for her family, not just physically but literally. A female athlete has much leverage over male counterparts when it comes to core and balance because of her pelvis. You may think, okay she is an OB/GYN; of course she obsesses over the pelvis!

How did I just suddenly pee on myself?! Continue reading “Pelvic Talk?”

Our Time
As a physician, wife, mother, daughter, sister, best friend and the other various hats I wear in my life, I have often wondered, what am I doing? Does wearing one hat mean that I have to put down another? After all, I can only juggle so many. I find myself feeling sad and defeated, even apologizing every time one of my proverbial hats is dropped!
I find that I gauge my happiness based on how well I perform this balancing act. Impossible? I cannot be perfect to everyone and certainly not all the time.

Personal Exchanges
Our finest memories and moments are found in exchanges – between mother and child, between best friends, between you and your significant other and really, between you and anyone or anything in your world. It is in these exchanges that we build our awareness and knowledge and certainly learn from our trials and tribulations. Exchanges serve as comfort and strength or a means to pressure and challenge one another. It is with exchanges that we learn as much about others as we do ourselves.
