Wyoming GOP having its own Salem Witch Trials

Published by admin on Thu, 04/25/2024 - 12:52pm

Dear Editor:
“To our Republican leaders: Get off your high horse. To claim that you are a better Republican than another because

My lizard bit me. Actually, so did my kitchen floor

I have seen examples of what a bearded dragon can do if they bite a person. Puff never seemed aggressive so I never really worried about it, but I hand fed him a piece of carrot last week and he dropped it, so I reached down to retrieve it when he lunged at my hand — I am assuming because he thought I had another piece of carrot. It happened lightning fast. I was amazed at how fast he could move.

=As the weather warms up and we are outside more, it is important to remember to take the time to care for our skin. What are some good ways to do this? Well, make sure you are hydrating well. Your skin is an organ that needs water to function properly, just like the other organs of the body. Additionally, don’t forget the sunscreen. Of course, sunscreen is important in the winter when you are outside, but in the summer, we tend to be outside longer with more exposed skin.

Headed for the hills

We haven’t spent much time in the badlands west of town for a few years. During the past few years, Rick was ill and had a few surgeries. He is doing much better and, on Sunday, suggested we needed to get out there to have a hot dog roast. So after church, feeding the bum lambs and letting the neighbor’s puppy out for a potty break, we headed for the hills.

Prairie Doc Perspective: Reflecting on progress

Published by admin on Thu, 04/18/2024 - 10:28am

It’s human nature to tell stories about the past, and doctors aren’t immune to that impulse. The second year medical students rotating through my clinic have me reflecting on my own years as a fledgling physician, and the changes I’ve seen in my decades of practice.
