		<title>Alcohol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One serving of alcohol in the form of red wine is fine, even healthy.  I repeat, in moderation.  According to  		the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, drinking in  		moderation is defined as having no more than 1 drink per day for women  		and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doctors Need Reliable Cellular Phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted earlier about a doctor&#8217;s cell phone, why I give out my number and the guidelines to calling or texting your doctor.  That being said, a doctor does need a reliable cellular phone and a reliable cell phone plan.  That&#8217;s because we&#8217;re dealing with real emergencies out there and people&#8217;s lives are at stake.

		<title>Too Busy To Shop!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am so busy lately.  But I&#8217;d like to think that that&#8217;s good.  I&#8217;ve started going to a new clinic which looks very promising.
But I&#8217;ve realized that I dress to casually for work.  People want to see a doktora looking a little bit on the glamorous side.  They want an image of a successful woman [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texting Or Calling Your Doctor:  Guidelines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve given my viewpoints regarding the doctor&#8217;s cell phone as a doctor and as a patient.  It&#8217;s really the doctor&#8217;s prerogative whether or not to give out the cellphone number, but if he/she does, do use the info wisely.

Please don&#8217;t call at unholy hours of the night for non-emergencies. Of course, doctors and patients do [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Doctor&#8217;s Cellular Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To give or not to give a cellular phone number?  That is the question&#8230;
I do give my cell phone number to my patients.  There are certainly pros and cons to doing so, but for me, the pros outweigh the cons.  But then I&#8217;m in a specialty (ophthalmology) that does not have a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emergency Inflatable Hospitals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s over 5 years since the tsunami which claimed the lives of my uncle and his two young children.  While they were not able to survive that calamity, it&#8217;s admirable how the Thais managed to give maximum help to those who were affected.  One of my cousins, who was found with severe injuries but still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things To Do While Waiting At The Doctor&#8217;s Office</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It may be at the doctor&#8217;s office.  Much as we do not want patients to be inconvenienced by waiting, sometimes there is really no way around it.
In one of our clinics, we have various stuff to try to keep patients and their companions occupied:  we have wi-fi access, newspapers and magazines, a couple of television [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Firecrackers For Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, we&#8217;ll be going to my grandma&#8217;s house for our traditional New Year&#8217;s Eve dinner.
I am so glad I am no longer a clerk, an intern or a resident, and that my specialty has very few emergencies, which means that I am neither on duty or on call tonight.
Aside from the fact that I will [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Prescriptions Abroad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel a little bit frustrated that my medical license is not really borderless.  My prescription would not really be recognized outside my own country.  While I understand this because it&#8217;s true that I am only licensed in my own country and not outside its borders, it does create a lot of inconveniences for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthy Shopping!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For retail therapy enthusiasts, the Christmas gift giving season is the perfect excuse to go out and indulge your shopping tendencies.
However, shopping may also become quite a bit stressful&#8230;and you know that stress is just not healthy at all!  Of course, some people may argue that shopping actually relieves their stress!
Here are a few things [...]]]></description>
