hey all,
I wrote a post earlier today and it shows up on my dashboard screen but not on the view blog page. weird.
anyway, I was just posting from the pain desk at the sheraton in boston, not commenting on much. just been going to lots of talks, watching powerpoint presentations, listening to the occasional weak joke thrown in (imagine pictures of lab mice with thought bubbles thanking the attendees for their time). that kind of stuff. I have also been playing "pick out the drug rep," which provides some fun. as this is the american pain society, you can imagine that the drug companies have some vested interest in courting people here. endo pharmaceuticals sent every attendee godiva chocolate to the room, i've gotten a free mouse pad and several pens. the drugs reps are pretty easy to spot: imagine women in business suits, highly styled and manicured, hair and makeup, and then some frumpy scientist type guy, balding with a dr. seuss tie. hmmm.
JP, thanks for the props for my work. it is very exciting. and this is only the beginning! one quick side note, after being at this conference especially, I have realized that pain research definitely not what I am interested in, at least not in the kind of context that most of this is presented. good to know.
JP, I am glad that you like the yoga. we will discuss it more soon. I feel yoga is one of the essentials in life for health maintenance and disease prevention and treatment. regarding treatment, over in india people come from all over the world to be treated by BKS Iyengar, the guy who created the style that i practice. he has cancer patients, pain patients, etc, in all sorts of yogic poses to help treat their illnesses. and it helps!
all from me.
oh yeah, i am glad Terry Shiavo is finally at peace.
love to all,
H
