Miscarriage can affect your body in many ways due to the fluctuation in your hormones. You might experience different symptoms both during and after a miscarriage.
Some of the most common signs and symptoms of miscarriage include:
- spotting
- bleeding
- abdominal or back pain
- expulsion of clots or tissue
- loss of other pregnancy symptoms, like nausea
- abdominal cramps
These symptoms happen because, in a way, your body is going through a very premature labor. After the miscarriage, your body can take around a month before going back to normal. These are some of the symptoms that you could experience during this period:
- light bleeding or spotting
- fatigue
- abdominal cramps
- breast discomfort or enlargement
After a miscarriage, your hormones will need a few weeks to return to normal. You might still experience some pregnancy symptoms. This will go away once your uterus shrinks back to its normal size.
Bleeding usually stops within 1 week.
The other after-effects of miscarriage should disappear within a month. There are certain warning signs that you should keep in mind. Please go to the doctor if you experience:
- fever
- chills
- foul-smelling discharge
- bright red bleeding
- heavy or prolonged bleeding
- severe abdominal pain
There are different types of miscarriage. Depending on your case, you might need medical intervention to empty your uterus. This is very important since any fetal or membrane remains could lead to infections.
Some women experience complete miscarriages, in which the uterus empties itself out. Sometimes, patients don't need any intervention. An ultrasound check-up will ensure that there are no remains in the uterus.
In other cases, a miscarriage can be deemed inevitable by doctors. When this happens, they can allow the natural process to continue.
Your doctor could prescribe medications if your uterus doesn't empty itself out. These drugs, called mifepristone and misoprostol, stimulate uterine contractions.
If this fails, a minor procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C) is performed in an operating room.
Your recovery time will depend on how much intervention you required and how far along you were. With this in mind, your doctor will be able to tell you which activities you can do in the period after a miscarriage.
You might be able to restart light daily activities if you feel well. You shouldn't place anything inside your vagina for a couple of weeks. This means that you won't be able to wear tampons and will need to abstain from sex to prevent infections.
A few weeks after a miscarriage, you'll need to have an appointment with your doctor. A physical examination and ultrasound will ensure that your body is recovering. Your doctor can also order blood tests to determine that your level of hCG has returned to normal. hCG is a pregnancy hormone, and it should decrease after a miscarriage.
Miscarriage can cause complex emotions for both parents. It can be difficult for those closest to you to provide support. This is because miscarriage is hard to understand if you haven't experienced it. Grief and depression after a miscarriage are real and valid, even if you never got to meet your baby.
Because many people never talk about miscarriage, it's easy to think that it's uncommon. In reality, 10 to 25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriages. Sometimes, women don't even know they're pregnant until they miscarry.
Most couples experience the 5 stages of grief after a miscarriage.
The stages of grief include:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
Going through these stages is normal after any distressing event. But grief after a miscarriage can be more complex. Because parents don't get to hold the baby or have a funeral, it can be difficult to feel closure. Loved ones can also lessen the event in an attempt to make the couple feel better.
During this time, you can turn to your partner for support. Discuss your feelings and grieve the loss together. Your partner is the person most likely to understand you, even if they show their grief in different ways. Talking about your loss can help you heal together.
You can also get support from family and friends. Ask for help to take care of daily activities - such as cooking or running errands - until you feel better. You might find that many people you know have gone through similar experiences.
Support groups can also be helpful during this time. If you're religious, talking to a pastor or spiritual leader can also provide comfort. You can also ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist to help you cope after a miscarriage.
Trying to find the cause of the miscarriage is normal for many parents. But in most cases, there is no explanation for it. Give yourself time to deal with the loss, and don't be too hard on yourself. It's natural to grieve after a miscarriage.
Some situations can intensify these feelings, like seeing family-oriented advertising or approaching your original due date.
Grief can be more difficult for women who miscarry after 12 weeks. Those who miscarry after a heartbeat is heard might also have a more difficult time. It is also harder for couples who have suffered more than one loss. They can feel like they are having miscarriage after miscarriage
As time passes, you'll be able to feel better after a miscarriage. But it's also very likely that you'll always remember this pregnancy and what it meant to you, and that's okay.
Family dynamics can feel somewhat strained after a miscarriage. If you have other children, it can be difficult to decide how to explain the miscarriage to them.
The best way to tell children about a miscarriage is by using simple words. Depending on their age, they might not be able to understand phrases like "mommy lost the baby". Instead, explain to them in simple terms that the baby wasn't able to grow.
Children can also grieve the loss of an unborn sibling. You should be alert to any changes in their emotions or behavior.
Couples should discuss their future plans, and if they'd like to try to conceive after a miscarriage. Both you and your partner should be on the same page when it comes to your choice of having more kids.
Fortunately for couples who want to try again after a miscarriage, you won't have to wait long. Your fertility after a miscarriage should return to normal after one cycle. Most doctors agree that it's safe to try to get pregnant after a miscarriage once you've had one normal menstrual cycle.
Want to prepare for pregnancy but don't know where to start?
Want to prepare for pregnancy but don't know where to start?
The Getting Pregnant 101 course by Flo has you covered. Throughout the course, you'll receive actionable advice on how to make your lifestyle conception-friendly, how to manage stress when preparing for a baby, and more!
It's very helpful to go to a check-up with your doctor once you decide you're ready to try to conceive after a miscarriage. Your doctor might order tests to rule out conditions that increase your risk of future miscarriages. Some conditions that can increase the risk of miscarriage include:
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Systemic diseases, like diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders
- Uterine abnormalities
- Cervical incompetence
- Anti-phospholipid syndrome
Your healthcare provider will also be able to give advice on healthy habits that can help you prepare for pregnancy. These habits can include exercising, avoiding alcohol and taking a prenatal supplement.
Ovulation after a miscarriage can happen within two weeks of losing the pregnancy. It can be helpful to track your cycle using an app like Flo to improve your chances of getting pregnant after a miscarriage.
For most women, miscarriage only happens once. Only 1% of women will experience more than one miscarriage during their lifetime. In most cases, fertility after a miscarriage goes back to normal soon. Women who conceive less than 6 months after a miscarriage have fewer complications in their pregnancies.
Most women experience their first period after miscarriage within 4 to 6 weeks. Since your hormone levels can take time to return to normal, it could take a couple of cycles for your menstruation to become regular again.
Flo can help you track your cycle, as well as detect the signs that you're about to ovulate after a miscarriage. This is especially helpful for women who are trying to get pregnant after a miscarriage.
Overcoming a miscarriage can be difficult for anyone. You shouldn't try to rush through the grieving process or deny your emotions. Surround yourself with supportive family and friends during this time. Remember that despite your loss, it's very likely that you'll still form the family you desire.

A conversation with Jerome Groopman, an acclaimed doctor, researcher, and writer whose new book offers a rare inside view of modern medicine
Jerome Groopman begins his new book, Second Opinions, with a description of his own experience as a patient when he was just beginning his career in medicine. While training for the Boston Marathon, Groopman started experiencing a sharp and debilitating pain in his back. Ignoring the advice of his physician wife and several other doctors, who suggested that time would be the best cure, he instead found an orthopedist who promised to perform an operation that would have Groopman up and running in two weeks. When the anesthesia wore off, he found himself in the intensive care unit barely able to move his legs -- and was forced to lie on a bed of ice for three months to control the excruciating pain.

Twenty years later Groopman still feels the physical effects of that operation, and it forever changed the way he thinks about medicine. A specialist in cancer, AIDS, and blood diseases, Groopman often recounts this experience to his patients, because, as he writes, "It brings me closer to them, knowing that I was on the examining table, swept up in the same tempest of confusions, fear, and frustration, vulnerable to all sorts of advice." Groopman believes that good care is based, above all, on trust and a melding of the intuitions of doctor and patient. Of course, Groopman realizes as well as anyone that individualized, time-intensive care is hard to come by in today's medical system. That's why he's written this book, which is designed, as he writes in the prologue, to "provide an inside view of the complex and rapidly changing world of medicine and thereby help people make informed decisions."
The eight stories collected in Second Opinions, each about the experience of one of his patients, cover many controversial issues of modern medicine. What do you do when two doctors disagree about the same data? What happens when an HMO won't cover a potentially life-saving treatment? How do you question a doctor when you think he's wrong? How can doctors and patients face the issues introduced by an ever increasing flood of genetic data? What makes these narratives so compelling to read, though, is not so much their topicality as Groopman's skill at recounting stories, and the emotional candor with which he tells them. Groopman captures both the gripping detective work of piecing together diagnoses and treatments and the drama of the ways in which his patients face their life-threatening diseases.
Groopman started writing in his mid forties, to help himself make sense of his patients' stories and to ease a growing feeling of restlessness. In his first book, The Measure of Our Days (1997), Groopman examined the different roles that faith and spirituality, or lack thereof, played for eight of his patients as they struggled with deadly diseases. Some of the narratives in both books have appeared in The New Yorker, for which Groopman writes a half-dozen articles a year on medicine and biology. In addition to writing and seeing patients, Groopman is the Chief of Experimental Medicine at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of the world's foremost research facilities in cancer and immunology. Groopman's lab is best known for its role in developing protease inhibitors, which have radically improved the prognoses of many AIDS patients. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts, with his wife and three children.
Groopman spoke recently with Atlantic Unbound's Katie Bacon.
It absolutely changed my career. That's why the opening line of the book is something like, "My first experience as a patient was just as instructive as all my classes in medical school." No one wants to be ill. No one wants to be a patient. But it is an extraordinary experience for a doctor. I felt the emotions that I think most patients feel, particularly when they're facing a very uncertain and potentially catastrophic event, which in my case was the possibility that I wouldn't walk again, or that I'd live the rest of my life in severe pain. What I learned from it is how as a patient your thinking can be very clouded. Even I -- who have a technical background and who in another role can be sober, judicious, and prudent -- acted impulsively and was susceptible to pursuing what I wanted to hear, which was a quick fix. The second thing I learned is that intervention is not always the best course -- sometimes it's good to step back.
I also experienced the power of language, the power of gesture. By language I mean both spoken language and body language. Patients are unbelievably sensitive to every nuance of a caregiver's demeanor. When you're a patient you hear things selectively, and you study the doctor's face to learn not only what he's saying, but what you think he's not saying. You hang on every word. Language is powerful in terms of focus and healing. I would not have appreciated that as deeply as I do now if I hadn't been a patient.
We're taught in medical school to project this image of power, knowledge, and control, and it's important to be strong, to have a plan, and to explain it and proceed, but I also think it's important to explain explicitly to people the uncertainties and the risks that are involved in the different choices. They certainly weren't articulated to me when I jumped ahead and had my operation. It was an extraordinarily painful, frightening, and for many years debilitating experience, one that profoundly altered the way I practice medicine and the way I care for people.
You write, "A clinical compass is built not only from the doctor's medical knowledge but also from joining his intuition with that of his patient." It seems to me that often in modern medicine (especially with managed care) neither patient nor doctor really has the chance to develop this intuition -- appointments are quick, and doctors don't always have the time to get to know their patients. How can patients make sure their intuitions about their conditions are part of the clinical conversation?
I think that a physician who does not seek a patient's intuition puts himself at a disadvantage in terms of coming to an accurate diagnosis and formulating the best possible treatment plan, meaning one that's not only scientifically sound but also that conforms to the beliefs and needs of the person as an individual. In the current system, which is a catastrophe, where medical visits are measured in single digits -- six or seven minutes -- it's very hard for a doctor to learn enough about a patient. One of the reasons I wrote the book was to present the argument that listening to a patient's intuition is a vital part of care, and if it means adding another ten or fifteen or twenty minutes, in the long run I think that's actually quite cost effective, for the following reasons. One is that you're more efficient, you're more able, as I said, to elicit the kinds of symptoms that will direct you to a diagnosis. The second is that there's a tremendous problem with what's called compliance. When you see someone for six minutes, and you glibly write a prescription, hand it to him, and say go do this, adherence to that treatment is often very poor. If you draw out from the person what his feelings and needs are, and you make sure that the treatment program that you're designing with him conforms to his needs, there's a much higher likelihood that he'll follow through. There are a lot of clinical symptoms that are related to emotional state, and if a patient feels cut off from his doctor, if he feels that his sense of what's going on is not being addressed, I believe that's deleterious for his own mental health. I know that there's a lot of pressure, I know there are HMOs, I know there's managed care, but frankly, I think it's time to go to the barricades and say, "We're not going to accept this kind of care."
What should a patient do if he feels his intuition isn't being taken into account by his doctor?
You say to your doctor, "I want some extra time with you. I need some extra time." Patients need to be encouraged to be bold and to say, "I believe that expressing to you what I'm feeling will be better for me, and will help you as a doctor." Now if a physician rejects that, or dismisses it, then he shouldn't be your doctor. I don't want a doctor like that. I think that the reluctance, the hesitancy, and the burden that patients feel to articulate their intuition would be alleviated if patients believed that by so doing they're actually helping the doctor, and if the doctor saw that as an important contribution to his work, he also would be more open to it.
It seems to me that that would require a sea change in the way doctors and patients relate.
Absolutely, and I want that sea change. Certainly a physician has information, knowledge, and skill from his or her training, but it only works well if it's a partnership. You need to communicate, and one of the platforms for communication is this intuitive sense. All of us have a deep sense of our own bodies and our health. It's probably physiological. There's probably neurological feedback that comes from our muscles, circulation, heart, and so on. When you sense something wrong, something off, it's very important to express that to your doctor. And if the doctor's telling you something that doesn't make sense, you've got to question him. It means either he doesn't understand your problem, he didn't explain it well, or he might be wrong -- or if you're wrong, it's his responsibility to explain why.
Because you specialize in blood diseases, cancer, and AIDS, you're often unable to save your patients. These narratives make clear the emotional attachment you have to many of those you treat. Why did you choose to specialize in these illnesses? How do you deal with the emotional difficulty of your job?
There are different dimensions to it, different reasons. One is that when I was training -- I trained at Mass General Hospital in the mid to late seventies -- oncology was a backwater, it was basically hospice care. There was almost no knowledge, it was thought to be a very crude, primitive kind of discipline, and a lot of people were discouraged from even going into it. That's what attracted me. Here was an incredibly important and prevalent set of diseases that took lives and where there was a crying need for real knowledge, and a desperate need for therapies that are rational, targeted, and much less toxic. I think we're on the cusp of that now, some twenty years later. But it was hard for me to see people who had these illnesses and to realize the dismal interventions that existed in the medical profession.
It's emotionally very difficult, there's no question about it. When I see a person who suffers from these diseases and dies, it takes a toll. You rationalize and say, "I'll go to my lab and work harder, and we'll discover something and make a difference." That's what happened with HIV. The death rate has fallen 90 percent. We need to do more and these drugs won't last forever, but there was a time when people said you couldn't even develop drugs against viruses like HIV. The same has to be done for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia, and other diseases.
There's also an extraordinary power and dignity to many of my patients that I find bolsters me, in a paradoxical way.
Your patients receive care in an ideal medical setting: you work at one of the best medical centers in the country; you don't have to worry about "cost-effective algorithms" designed to discourage you from ordering expensive diagnostic tests; and you invest a great deal of energy and thought in each patient's case. What advice do you have for those patients who aren't in such a fortunate situation?
I think people who are in less fortunate situations need to be bold and need to demand second opinions. The more educated you are about your illness, the more aware you are of your body, the more opportunity you have to help yourself. It's not even a question of money. Sometimes people who are very wealthy or famous can get terrible medical care, because there are nefarious agendas at work. For instance, I tell the story of Robert Beckwith, whose disease was misdiagnosed by a local hospital that wanted to keep him under their care because he was a big donor. There's no doubt that there is an enormous inequality of care. But you can get good care if you're poor, if you know where to look.
What advice would you give people who are in HMOs? Supposedly they're good, except for people who are very sick.
I don't have a glib answer about the mess the current medical system is in. If you're generally healthy, by and large HMOs are fine, but if you have a very complicated problem and need to see a specialist at another center, it can be difficult. And the truth is that money is put above the interests of the patient -- that's how it works. Now all the HMOs are collapsing. I don't have an answer, but I think with the coming election there has to be a really serious reexamination. This country is so wealthy now and there's such a surplus of resources. I can't imagine what's more important than health.
How do doctors react when a patient says he wants a second opinion?
You take the measure of a doctor when you request a second opinion. As a physician you have to subsume your ego; you make yourself vulnerable. Someone can disagree with you, someone can see something that you overlooked. There are different ways of doing things in different institutions -- different styles, different cultures. Someone else may have a more effective way to communicate with the patient. But a second opinion is absolutely vital, and if there's one major lesson of my book it is that when you're dealing with a severe illness, a life-threatening disease, when you're looking at experimental therapy where there's grave uncertainty of outcome, it's essential to get a second opinion at an institution different from the one where you initially were seen. If a doctor tries to block you or discourage you, or make you feel like you're insulting him, then he shouldn't be your doctor.
When a patient asks for a second opinion it means that another perspective would help, that the patient doesn't trust what he or she has been told, that the doctor hasn't communicated well, or that there's a severe level of anxiety, which also needs to be addressed. So whatever the genesis or significance of the question, it needs to be taken seriously by the physician.
You point out that the science of genetics is moving so fast that the knowledge we are now able to glean from DNA "can outstrip the physician's ability to state a prognosis and offer validated therapy." For instance, in Second Opinions you recount the story of Karen Belz, who knows through genetic testing that she carries the BRCA gene that predisposes one to breast and ovarian cancers, but as of yet there's little evidence whether or not a mastectomy and ovarectomy would lower her risk of getting the diseases. In what ways can doctors and patients deal with gaps between scientific knowledge and its clinical applications?
Here intuition and the individual needs of a person are especially important, because information is so limited. Since the time I wrote that piece, we've gathered more data showing that mastectomies and ovarectomies are useful in preventing cancer in women with a defective BRCA gene. But still, for a male doctor to sit there and say, "Well, here are the data, and it looks like we should take both your breasts off and take your ovaries out" -- that's a pretty heavy thing. What is it that gives your life meaning and substance? How do you perceive your own body? How much risk are you willing to take in life? Would you opt for medical treatment that might induce an early menopause to try to block estrogen production, instead of surgery? Are you going to take the chance that in the next five or ten years science will come up with a better way of doing this? There are no blanket answers that apply to everyone. It's critical for a person in this kind of a setting to work with her doctor and her family and friends and figure out what's best for her.
From The Atlantic's archives:
"Good News and Bad News About Breast Cancer," by David Plotkin, M.D. (June 1996)
"Women are more alarmed than they need to be about the chances that they will develop breast cancer. But they are also more confident than they should be that the advances medicine has made in treating the disease and prolonging life mean that it can be cured."
We expect that the entire human genome will be decoded in the next five to ten years, so all of this genetic information will be dumped in our laps without available treatments. This is one of the hardest areas. It's one that we're all going to face. I also think that in the next few years there will be changes in the way we treat breast cancer. Our lab has a major program in women's cancers, and we've discovered a novel gene in breast cancer that is very interesting. Eighty-five percent of people who have breast cancer have this gene. We've made some major strides in figuring out the three-dimensional structure of the proteins, so now we can start to try to develop drugs. This just happened last week. We have a paper going to press about how ovarian cancer cells spread; ovarian cancer spreads very quickly, and we think we've figured out one reason why.
How do you decide when you should try that last therapy that might preserve or extend a patient's life and when you should start palliative care? Has the growing hospice movement affected the way you practice medicine at the end of a patient's life?
This is very difficult. The first thing you always have to make sure of is that you're not trying that last therapy for yourself, because it's the easy way out, or makes you look heroic. It's very hard to say to someone, "I think we've reached the point where we should just make you comfortable." To help a patient make such a decision you need to have a very close relationship with him. Your understanding of him as a person assists you in interpreting your own intuition and their intuition. You have to be able to sense the patient's life force. Do they teach you about life force in medical school? Can you measure life force with a CAT scan?
The hospice movement is an absolutely wonderful one in terms of making the last days of a person's life tolerable. Hospice nurses are the heroes and heroines of that period, because they are expert in alleviating pain. They're very good at family dynamics, and they offer comfort. I think in a way it allows the physician to more appropriately, more comfortably, move a person who is terminal, and for whom further treatment would only be painful and inappropriate, into that last step. Because if there's no hospice, as a doctor you think, Who's going to be there? Who's going to take care of the pain? How are we going to get them home? So you just keep them in the hospital. If you keep someone in the hospital, the tendency is to keep up the appearance of active treatment until the person dies.
How do you help a dying patient prepare for his death?
You need to get a sense of how a person perceives or imagines death, how religious the person is, whether there are things that need to be reconciled. All of that is important preparation.
In The Measure of Our Days, you describe a woman with breast cancer who refuses to undergo chemotherapy and radiation, because she believes that her embrace of Taoist teachings will heal her. It seems that there is often a fine line between the much-needed hope that alternative therapies can give patients and the harm that relying solely on them can cause. How do you react when people turn away from traditional medicine in favor of alternative therapies?
In terms of alternative therapies, I see it in two ways. One is, I'm a scientist. And botanicals, for example, are important sources for drugs. Digitalis, which is essential for heart failure, comes from foxglove. Vincristine, which is an important drug for lymphoma and leukemia, comes from periwinkle. Taxol comes from the Pacific yew tree. Three thousand years of Chinese empiricism -- these guys are not stupid. There's a lot of interest in trying to figure out what the active components are in these touted herbal therapies.
But at the same time there are also these waves of enthusiasm and fads. No one talks about Laetrile anymore. In the late sixties and early seventies, the touted alternative for curing cancer was Laetrile -- extract of apricot pits. After a while it was clear it wasn't curing anything. And Steve McQueen, when he had end-stage cancer, went to Mexico and had coffee enemas -- that was another "cure." So you get these ferociously touted alternative treatments that have no scientific basis.
People say, "If they're desperate, why not play along with the charade?" I strongly disagree with that, because I think it robs people of truth, it robs them of dignity, it's patronizing, it's paternalistic, and in the end, when the sky comes crashing down, when the Laetrile doesn't work, they've wasted money, and they've wasted the most precious thing, which is time, running to Mexico or the Bahamas for treatments that aren't real, instead of being with their family and their friends.
I'm not closed-minded. I don't know if you ever read the piece I wrote for The New Yorker, called "Dr. Fair's Tumor," about a surgeon at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center who was a real die-hard, stubborn guy who had no interest in alternative therapies, and dismissed them all. He developed colon cancer, went through chemo, and the chemo didn't work -- the cancer metastasized to his liver. He was hanging in the breeze. He had his own cells harvested in the operating room and taken back to his laboratory. He started screening all these alternative treatments, and found one that had been touted in China by the last physician to the last emperor. It turned out that there was something active in this concoction which shrunk his tumor cells in a test tube and in mice. He's been on this therapy, and he's been completely stable for almost three years. Now the burden is to figure out what the active ingredient is. That's looking for real hope outside of traditional medicine.
But there's a pernicious dimension to some alternative therapies, and that is that they put the blame on the patient when they fail. They charge you $200 a visit for you to visualize your cancer cells disappearing, take macrobiotics, and try vitamins, and then they say, "The reason this doesn't work is that you don't have enough faith in the treatment." That's really unacceptable.
What inspired you to start writing? What is it about setting these stories onto the page that appeals to you?
First it was the usual male midlife crisis. I'm in love with my wife, I don't want a red Corvette, but I was sort of restless and wanted to do something different. I also felt that I had extraordinary experiences as a physician. I was inspired by the people I cared for. I wanted to make sense of these stories. Narratives are very powerful in terms of reliving experiences and trying to improve yourself as a person and as a doctor. I feel I'm a better doctor because of my writing -- it helps me understand my mistakes. Also, the families and friends of my patients who died saw this as a memorial to them; it continues their life in a way. There are a lot of dimensions to it. Some of it is emotional, some is pedagogical in terms of self-learning, and some of it is trying seriously to contribute to others.
Most people don't know the inside world of medicine. Second Opinions reveals an awful lot that goes on -- about what doctors' agendas can be, what they think, how systems work, what's risk management, how lawsuits happen, how you have to navigate all that. And why shouldn't people know all this? Medicine is an extraordinary domain, and I thought I would write about it as best I could. I'll tell you, when I started writing, I wrote three chapters of the first book, showed it to two or three friends at work, and they said, "Oh, this is compelling and riveting and brilliant." And I showed it to Pam, my wife, and she said, "These are awful." She was right -- they were terrible. She said, "Can't you write a simple declarative sentence? They're convoluted, they're filled with jargon." It was true, I had to learn to write. And I also learned that you need to talk to someone who's going to be really honest with you, and not just be kind to you.
The hardest thing for me was to write about myself. I thought, Who cares what I'm thinking? I mean, we live in a world of narcissists, and I wanted to make sure that if I was going to communicate what I was thinking or feeling that it had meaning. But I realized that people do want to know what's going on in a doctor's head.
What's next for you, in terms of both medicine and writing?
First, I'm not giving up my day job. I primarily identify myself as a physician and a researcher. I'll continue to write. I have a tremendous luxury, because I only write when I think I have something interesting to write about. I do it as an avocation. If I think of an organizing principle or idea for a third book, I will do that. But I don't have another idea in my hip pocket; I think it takes time. I'd rather do something meaningful and substantial than just manufacture these things.

For years I've relegated old faithful polo-necks to the back of my wardrobe, even a once beloved (and for a while worn almost daily), Helmut Lang ribbed black number and a strangely large collection of neon skinny stripes - all long cherished survivors despite worn-out elbows, but rejected in a strange paranoia about feeling like a strangled student. I've long favoured sloppy sweatshirts and classic v-necks, sometimes 'borrowed' from my boyfriend, over everything. But something's changed. Maybe it was the girl I knew as a child who sauntered -almost unrecognisable - past my (optimistic) café table in the sunshine last week looking effortlessly Audrey Hepburn-chic all in black neat trousers, polo-neck and a little bowler hat. A peroxide bob did the rest. Or maybe it was the hug of a polo-neck given to me by Bella Freud for Christmas - black and classic, except for the scarlet S E X stitched across the chest (I don't wear it on the school run), that prompted my change of heart.
Now that I'm almost hanging up my coat for spring, but still blue-fingered on my bike, I like the idea of a high neck under a vintage summer dress as much now as I did at university - or just with shorts and tights. I've dug out a wafer-thin, petrol-blue, cashmere turtleneck once scored in a Stella sample sale. Not quite a polo - but still a little bit Parisienne rock-chick, and useful to toughen up a floral print, at least until April arrives. I also suddenly really want a big blunt Marianne Faithfull fringe but that's another story. I'll tuck my hair inside a polo-neck in lieu of a haircut and distract myself with Sixties Bardot black eyeliner until the craving passes.

Hello All,
I am starting something new here on SSB! I live in the East Bay Area, and San Francisco is just a quick BART (train) ride away. Since the city is such a tourist destination, but is so close to me I have decided to do "staycations" in the city every now and then and feature what I get up to here on the blog.
This past Saturday was the first trip. My husband and I walked to BART and took it into the city around 9 in the morning.
^ BART Station San Leandro > to > Powel St. Station in the city.
^ San Francisco City Hall. My husband bought a jacket at the 2-story GAP on Market St. and then we walked to Blue Bottle Coffee shop down Market a bit. Since I had my coffee at home (Love our Nespresso machine!) Hubs got a coffee and I got a mango juice, which was delish.
Then we made our way to Mr. Holmes Bakehouse for a morning pastry and to take the stereotypical Instagram photo in front of their "I GOT BAKED IN SAN FRANCISCO" sign… which was unfortunately broken. 🙁
^ We then headed to the Walt Disney Family Museum. The museum showcases an in depth history of Walt Disney and how the Disney we know came to be. It isn't a very kid friendly tour, and it is not all Disney related, but I am a huge Disney fan so I thoroughly enjoyed the peak into history. I honestly teared up at the end. I LOVE DISNEY.
^ The earliest know drawings of Mickey Mouse from 1928 are on display in the museum. As well as a bunch of other incredibly special personal Disney family items.^ Some of Walt Disney's early work.
^ the view from a hallway in the museum!
^ Walt Disney's idea of Disneyland's layout before it came to life. I am so shocked at how similar the layout of Disneyland really is. He was truly a visionary!
^ The Disney Family Museum is located in one of those GORGEOUS brick buildings at the Presidio.
The Palace of Fine Arts is just indescribable. When built "the exposition featured 11 great exhibit palaces showcasing objects from every corner of the globe, more than 1,500 sculptures commissioned from artists all over the world, 65 acres of amusement concessions, and an aviation field. Twenty-one countries, 48 U.S. states, and 50 California counties mounted displays in the exhibition's grand pavilions."
^ We went to Caffé DeLucchi in North Beach. Their bruschetta is AMAZING! The tomatoes were so fresh and the bread was perfectly crunch, but easy to bite into!

The Vista on my laptop is behaving oddly since last weekend. I got most of my important data backed up, but some minor thing are either gone or archived away in an external HD. I'm not gonna put everything back in until I know it's going to behave for more than one day. Or until I downgrade this sorry ass to XP.
I was looking for a stationary tray that I can put into a desk drawer. The reason being two mugs full of stationary on my desk is ridiculous. Okay, moving clutter into a different position doesn't solve the problem of it being there, but I don't want to get rid of it. They still work, and there are times when I actually need them.
Naturally, a stationary tray cannot be found whenever I venture into a nearby book store or the stationary department. Dangerous territory. Being in a book shop or stationary corner means all sorts of other things are trying to tempt me into taking them home. Like I really need a fancy wire office desktop set that doesn't include the tray that I want.
Things turn up when you're not looking for it, so I was not surprised to find it in one of the many cheap stores around town when I was there looking for a teapot.
Technically it's a cutlery tray from the kitchenware section, but cutlery and stationary have the same basic configuration. Plus it came in a bright lime green that matches some of the other stuff I own.
Yes, you do see frogs in there.
The store I went to also had a surprising amount of stuff to organise your cable clutter, and for ridiculously cheap. I got two packs of cable ties (different lengths) for about a buck each. The section merits another visit when I'm in the mood to prospect for decluttering tools.
And I never did get my teapot.

WESB NEWSRADIO--Eldred Woman Charged With Beating Her Baby

Eldred Mother Jailed In Assault On 10 Month Old Son
Posted by Solomon's words for the wise at 6/10/2010 12:26:00 PM

Glad to hear something was finally done about this.. Ive been around the baby and can't see how anyone could do this! Put her ass in jail!
- Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 1:01:00 PM EDT
Because for some reason mothers around here practically get away with murder and the people responsible for investigating them are biased. If it was a man that did it, pfft he'd be fried.
- Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 2:39:00 PM EDT
2:39, are you speaking from experience? I don't agree with you that there is a bias.
- Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 2:52:00 PM EDT
i do not know this girl but any person who abuses a child should be in jail shame on her i hope this haunts her forever
- Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 3:06:00 PM EDT
1:01 if you have been around this why did you turn her in yourself?
- Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 8:56:00 PM EDT
$20,000 for bail. Really? Just $20,000. When people say that time stands still in the hills, they're not kidding. It's as if 1969 is still looming in the air.
- Friday, June 11, 2010 at 7:24:00 AM EDT
just because they said they were around the baby doesnt mean they knew it happened. not many people did. they kept it quiet because the police wanted to get a solid case against her. she needs to sit there and rot.
- Friday, June 11, 2010 at 8:23:00 AM EDT
Too late shes already out!
- Friday, June 11, 2010 at 11:53:00 AM EDT
It is pretty bad when u can abuse your own child and get out on 20,000. bail and if you break your probation you have to sit in jail for x amount of days.. this justice system just is not right.. so let a women out that was abusing her child.they should abuse her just like she did that poor baby... shame on her she should be in jail and throw that key away there are lots of people around who can not have kids and dumbass around who have kids and abuse them...Honey give up being a mom cuz you are not one....

Day Traders Diary
Wednesday's trading session closed in the neighborhood of where it opened as investors generally elected to watch rather than act amid a batch of economic data and a slew of corporate news. The major averages finished mixed with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq adding 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively, while the Dow fell 0.1%. A late burst of buying interest led by the financial sector, however, left each of the major average at, or near, their best levels of the day when the closing bell rang.
Frankly, there wasn't a lot of trading excitement throughout the session. The major indices all held to tight trading ranges, reined in by a lack of any meaningful sector leadership, a stark jump in long-term rates, and an awareness that Fed Chair Yellen was going to be speaking at 3:00 p.m. ET on the goals of monetary policy.
Ms. Yellen's speech, as it turned out, was mostly an academic exercise. She didn't provide any "new" information for the market per se, yet her reminder that interest rates are apt to creep higher provided some verbal reassurance that facilitated the positive finish for today's market.
Her speech followed a mixed batch of economic data this morning, which featured a stronger than expected Industrial Production report for December, a weaker than expected NAHB Housing Market Index for January, and the highest year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index (+2.1%) since June 2014.
In aggregate, Ms. Yellen's remarks and today's data didn't alter the view that the Fed will continue to abide by its projection for three rate hikes in 2017.
The financial sector (+0.8%) had a slow-developing rally today, but eventually got it in gear toward the end of the session and finished at its highs for the day. A lackluster response to better-than-expected earnings news from Goldman Sachs (GS 234.29, -1.45), Citigroup (C 57.39, -0.99), and U.S. Bancorp (USB 50.56, +0.25) kept a lid on things, yet there was underlying strength in other components that proved to be an effective offset and a driver of today's gains.
Thus far, the financial sector has been fairly slow to respond to better-than-expected earnings reports as it continues to digest a huge move following the election, which produced a 20.5% gain for the sector in the fourth quarter.
In other corporate news, Target (TGT 66.85, -4.09) lowered its Q4 guidance following disappointing holiday sales. The news had a ripple effect on other retailers, which led to a 0.3% decline in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 44.25, -0.11, -0.39). Naturally, the consumer discretionary sector (-0.2%) felt the pressure and closed near the bottom of today's leaderboard.
The energy sector (-0.3%) also posted a lackluster performance, falling in tandem with crude oil. The commodity's downtick was forced by some renewed strength in the dollar and expectations that U.S. producers will boost output in response to the higher prices. The U.S. Dollar Index (101.25, +0.92) finished 0.9% higher while gold closed down 0.1% at $1,212.10/ozt.
The top-weighted technology sector outperformed the broader market with a 0.3% increase. The sector was driven primarily by a bullish performance from chipmakers, which rebounded from Tuesday's selling and drove a 1.4 gain in the PHLX Semiconductor Index.
The U.S. Treasury market came under selling pressure in the overnight trade -- pressure which never relented much during the regular session. Securities across the curve were on the defensive, with the belly and back end of the curve getting hit the hardest. The yield on the 5-yr note jumped 10 basis points to 2.23%. The yield on the 10-yr note, meanwhile, also increased 10 basis points to 2.42%
Reviewing today's economic data:
Total CPI rose 0.3% (Briefing.com consensus +0.3%) in December while core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.2% (Briefing.com consensus +0.2%). On a year-over-year basis, total CPI is up 2.1% and core CPI has increased 2.2%.
The key takeaway from this report is that the consumer inflation rate is steadily rising, which is supporting the Federal Reserve's tightening bias at this juncture.
December Industrial Production increased 0.8% (Briefing.com consensus +0.6%) while Capacity Utilization rose to 75.5% (Briefing.com consensus 75.4%).
The key takeaway from the report is that overall industrial production remains soft, having slipped at an annual rate of 0.6% in the fourth quarter and increasing just 0.5% year-over-year.
The NAHB Housing Market Index for January fell to 67 from a revised 69 in December (from 70).
Tomorrow's economic data will include Initial Claims (Briefing.com consensus 252,000), Housing Starts (1.193 million), and Philadelphia Fed (briefing.com consensus 15.3).

'Fix Roads, Break Garbage Mafia'
According to RK Misra, founder of centre for smart cities, 'smart' means liveable and Bengaluru has to tackle three key issues to become a smart city -traffic, garbage, water and sanitation.
"This is an opportunity to make significant investment in transformational changes."
- Invest in automated traffic management. Signals should be automated and synchronised and cameras at every signal to capture violations.
- Fix broken roads, close medians and disallow u-turns and right turns other than at a traffic signal.
- Design systems that will break the waste mafia. Incentivise reduction of waste and smart management. Payment must be made not based on the number of truck rides and the distance but how clean the area is.
- It can be monitored through cameras or crowdsourcing of geo-tagged, time-stamped photographs from citizens. Similarly, for debris management.
- Storm water drains should not take sewage into the lakes. They should go around the lake. Let in only a minimum amount of treated water into the lake every day.
'Engage Citizens in Civic Work'
Regardless of whether Bengaluru makes it to the list of smart cities under the central mission, it can become a smart city by making a few changes, said Dr HS Sudhira, Urban planning and governance expert, adding that people play an important role, too.
- Bengaluru had a bad voter turn out rate compared to smaller districts. There is a need for focussed engagement where all people work in a collective activity -starting from something as simple as the Neralu tree festival.
- We need smart organisational structures. Agencies such as BBMP, BDA and Bescom were set up decades ago and need re vamping to function effectively.
- Our financing mechanisms need to be revisited. If we build on Brand Bengaluru, and present it as a holistic lot, rather than as individual entities, such as Bescom and BMTC, anybody -even private entities -will be willing to fund its projects.
- Take the Karnataka Country Planning Act from 1961. To be dynamic, we need smarter laws.
Official Line
TS Muralidhar, nodal officer, Smart City Project, said that Bengaluru's proposal to be included in the the list of smart cities needs only fine-tuning two months ahead of the deadline. "We are focussing on core areas under the central business district and showcasing all the development and smart solutions we have planned on key roads and locations," he said, adding that public transport and scientific way of water distribution were also included.

Quebec City is an intoxicating mix of old world elegance and modern culture. Founded in 1608, it's one of the oldest cities in North America, and boasts the continent's only remaining fortified city walls north of Mexico. And with its French-speaking citizens, narrow cobblestone streets and lovely old stone buildings, Quebec City also has a very European flair.
This charming city, which sits on a bluff overlooking the scenic St. Lawrence River, is a magnet for awards. In 2016, Quebec City topped Travel & Leisure's list of The Best Cities in Canada, and won Cruise Insight Magazine's "Best Destination Experience" award.
In 2015, Conde Nast Traveler readers voted it as one of the 20 world's best cities for food. If awards aren't enough to convince you, here are nine of the top reasons you must visit.
Old Quebec is considered the "cradle of French civilization in North America" and as such, it has been designated an UNESCO World Heritage site. A stroll through this well-preserved Old Town and along its fortified walls will give you the feeling that you've been transported back 400 years in time.
During the summer months, the streets of Old Quebec become a stage for street performers and actors dressed in period costumes. This city also hosts numerous festivals, including the Quebec Winter Carnival, which has been held intermittently since 1894 and is one of the largest winter carnivals in the world. Quebec City also hosts an 11-day Summer Festival, which attracts approximately 1.5 million music fans from around the world.
While in Quebec City, walk along Dufferin Terrace, a wooden boardwalk located outside the castle-like Chateau Frontenac for absolutely stunning views of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding area.
Are you a fanatic for uploading photos to Facebook, an Instagram addict? Here inspiring photo opportunities abound giving you plenty of time to perfect your shots.
One of the best destinations for shutterbugs? Rue du Petit-Champlain, which was recently named Canada's most beautiful street.
You know the saying, "You can't see the forest for the trees"? Well, you can't fully appreciate the overall beauty of Quebec City unless you get outside of the capital to view it from a distance. One of the best ways to do this is by hopping aboard a ferry so you can drift slowly by Quebec City.
Old Towns and picturesque views are probably not going to thrill the youngest members of your family. Fortunately, Quebec City also boasts the largest four-season resort in Eastern Canada, Valcartier Vacation Village. During the winter, Valcartier Vacation Village offers a slew of fun activities, including snow tubing and an indoor waterpark.
In the summer months, Valcartier Vacation Village turns into a huge waterpark with a slew of fun activities, including 35 heated waterslides and a wave pool.
If you love microbrews — and it seems like nowadays, everyone does — you'll want to check out Quebec City's craft beer scene, which is centered around the St-Roch neighborhood. As of 2016, there were approximately 17 microbreweries in and around Quebec City, including INOX, which opened in 1987 and was the city's first craft brewery.
Quebec City's breweries are known for making very authentic Belgian ales. Plus, visiting St-Roch comes with an added bonus — this neighborhood is ground zero for the local foodie scene, which means that you can tuck into delicious and innovative dishes while checking out the latest new brew.
Well, maybe not the one you're probably thinking about, which is actually in Paris. But Quebec is home to the stunning Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, the authority church of Canada.
The Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica was also the site of a rare Catholic ceremony, the opening of the Holy Door. During this ceremony, which was held in December 2013, the Catholic archbishop of Quebec knocked three times on a bronze Holy Door and then passed through it when it was opened. Even though the ceremony has occurred since the 1400s, this was the only time that the Holy Door opening has occurred outside of Europe,
A city as old as Quebec City is bound to have more than its fair share of spooky tales. So why not learn about them by taking a ghost tour, which is a fascinating way to get to know the darker side of Quebec City.

Like most people who live in the Northeast, by this time of year I'm fed up with winter weather. Luckily enough, there's a huge boat show in Miami Beach this week that, as a new products and electronics editor, I simply must attend. I'll be spending most of my time in Miami inside the air-conditioned sterility of the Miami Convention Center instead of on the water, but at least my daily commute will be warm. For boating journalists, one of the big draws of the Miami International Boat Show is the electronics hall, a huge area in the convention center dedicated solely to the latest in marine electronics. Heaven. In the two days I'll be at the show, I've got appointments to visit with 20 manufacturers. Here's a preview.My first appointment is my only on-the-water demonstration. Along with some fellow scribes, I'll be taking an evening cruise with reps from FLIR, a company that makes infrared imaging systems. FLIR, which stands for Forward-Looking Infra-Red, gives users a far crisper, easier to discern image, than do light-enhancing technologies. Add to that mix image stabilization and telescopic capabilities, and you've got a great way to keep track of navigation aids, MOBs, and even the competition. For now, FLIR products are restricted to larger boats, as the turret that houses the sensing unit is a tad bulky, weighing eight pounds and measuring 7.3" by 4" by 8". But I have a feeling it won't be too long before they come out with smaller versions. In fact, they market a handheld unit, the FlashSight, to police departments. Let's hope they come up with a waterproof version soon. www.flir.comIcom's handheld and mounted VHF radios have long been favorites of ours, but their latest, the M34, may actually have a negative impact on their bottom line. Unlike any marine handheld on the market, the M34 floats. I've dropped at least three handheld VHFs into the drink over the years, so I'm looking forward to retrieving the next one that slips through my hands, rather than watching it disappear beneath the waves. The M34 isn't available to consumers yet, but I'm hoping there will be a demo floating around in Miami. www.icomusa.comI'll also be visiting with TackTick, checking out the latest version of their Racemaster solar-powered instruments, looking at the latest navigation and racing software from Nobeltec, Fugawi, Maptech, B&G, and scoping out the latest plotters from Northstar and Lowrance. Maptech's excellent i3 touchscreen plotters have proven incredibly popular since their introduction, and I may have some breaking news from them about more portable versions next week. I plan on ending my list of appointments on the docks of the sailboat side of the show, where the Lightspeed 32 is docked. I'm looking forward to a firsthand account from Lightspeed's Hunt Stookey of the Fort Lauderdale to Key West feeder race, a 160-nautical mile trip made by Lightspeed in a little of 10 hours last month. Stookey's carbon cat took line honors in the race and won on corrected time in both class and fleet. www.lightspeedboats.com

13 things you need to drink in NYC this fall
Fall is here. It's happening, seriously, stop denying it. To be honest, there are lots of good things that happen in the fall -- there're leaves, there's football, there're vests, but most of all there's a whole new kind of drinking. So, much like in our fall eating guide, we've laid out the next 13 weekends for you again, but this time each has something autumnal for you to drink. Follow it exactly or don't -- either way, these are things you should be drinking before winter hits.
September 26-28: Not iced coffee
You gotta start drinking it without ice again, so cope by adding a little booze and making it an Irish one, either right at your desk (Editor's note: baller.) or from a bar like Sweetwater Social, which's got a new one on their menu for the fall that has house-made cream.
October 3-5: A giant beer in a boot
Catch Oktoberfest before it "officially" ends at one of the remaining events on our Oktoberfest events master calendar, or just opt to keep it going all month long (hint: do both) and pour German lagers down your face at one of these spots with giant beers.
October 10-12: Anything on a rooftop bar that's still open
It's not too late people. Press Lounge, 230 Fifth, Top of the Strand -- those are just a few of the ones that stay open year round. Keep the dream alive.
October 17-19: Tower of beer, a fishbowl, endless buckets of beer...
... or some other bro-y football-type stuff. If you're into football, you're probably already doing this, but if you're not, see how the other half lives and get to one of these great football bars, just for a day at least.
October 24-26: A boilermaker
There's a new bar called Boilermaker, and they specialize in boilermakers (!!!) that take you past domestic lights and well booze (though they've got that, too) with options like a Victory Storm King with a shot of Ramazzotti, or Brooklyn Lager with Old Grand-Dad Bonded.
October 31-November 2: Punch
Look. It's Halloween, which means you're probably drinking a lot of whatever it is you pick, and if you're out at a bar, you're probably not being so picky about it. If you're throwing a party though, may as well work up a big bowl of punch -- it's like the "set it and forget it" of party planning.
November 7-9: Rock & Rye
This brand-new offering from Williamsburg's NY Distilling Co. is their first rye release (they also do Navy Strength gin, Dorothy Parker American gin, and Chief Gowanus -- New-Netherland gin), which is created using New York state rye, and yields whiskey that's then tempered with rock candy, dried cherries, cinnamon, and orange peel. Score yourself a bottle or head to the in-house distillery bar, The Shanty, for no-doubt, top-notch 'tails made with the new spirit.
November 14-16: A nice dark craft beer/fall seasonal
Light beers with a lime in them are no longer acceptable (unless it's before noon), so tuck into a seasonal brew, preferably dark and full bodied. There are approximately a billion bars you could do this at, but shoot for one of the city's top beer bars, like Blind Tiger, The Pony Bar, or Torst.
November 21-23: Shot-and-a-beer combo...
... preferably in a dive bar that you no longer need to feel guilty about hanging out in all day because it's a little colder, it gets dark a little earlier, and going for a run or whatever sounds horrible.
November 28-30: Cider
Whether it's nonalcoholic from the Greenmarket, mulled, or hard (all the Cider Week (Oct 24-Nov 2) spots have this on lock), this is gonna feel so right. Especially with a leftover turkey/cranberry/stuffing sandwich.
December 5-7: A seasonal cocktail
Fall means a ton of your favorite bars are going to be rolling out brand-new menus fully loaded with an endless array of new libations to try, like the the brand-new Sekend Sun (which should be opening around Nov 1st) in Astoria, which'll be doing a Black Baby Grand with Irish whiskey, China China Amer, orange flower water, and barrel-aged Angostura bitters.
December 12-14: Whiskey
Fact: whiskey warms you up*. Fact: whiskey helps you get through the holidays*. Don't drink it like a dummy, head to one of the best whiskey bars in the city.
*not facts... kinda
December 19-20: Eggnog...
... or anything from Rolf's. We also suggest a schnapps tasting. Really just get there early as hell to make sure you can post up at the bar.
Sign up here for our daily NYC email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun New York has to offer.
Andrew Zimmer is Thrillist's NYC Editor and he doesn't understand why eggnog is reserved for the cold weather months, 'nog is always good. Follow him on Instagram and Twitter.

tweets late Monday – the day FBI director James Comey shot down the president's unfounded but continuing claims about wiretapping at Trump Tower – Chopra asked Trump to "please submit to a psychiatric and neurological evaluation to restore our confidence."In a series of
Chopra suggested that a form of dementia, a brain disease that affects behavior and thinking, should "be ruled in or ruled out," "for the safety of the world."
Whether Chopra, an endocrinologist turned popular TV doctor is qualified to ask this question is enhanced by the dubious way Trump's longtime personal physician Harold Bornstein, described the flamboyant 70 year personality's health during and since the campaign. Recently Bornstein told the health news site Stat that while Trump carries some extra pounds, "there's nothing seriously wrong with him." Bornstein also told The New York Times he probably would not screen Trump for dementia if the White House physician (so far, he has not).
Two months ago 35 psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers signed a letter to the Times saying Trump's "speech and actions demonstrate an inability to tolerate views different from his own, leading to rage reactions." They said this "grave emotional instability" made him "incapable of serving safely as president." The letter did not suggest any diagnosis for Trump. Such speculation by psychiatrists has been officially discouraged by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Earlier this month, the group updated its longstanding ethics policy against opining on the mental health of politicians or other public figures. The policy is called the Goldwater Rule, after 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, and was created after many psychiatrists participated in a magazine survey about Goldwater's mental fitness. Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and consultant to the APA's ethics committee said "The public doesn't really need psychiatrists to reach conclusions."
In a separate letter to the Times, Allen Frances, a psychiatry professor emeritus at Duke University School of Medicine, took a different view. He wrote that Trump "may be a world-class narcissist, but this doesn't make him mentally ill." Francis said that associating Trump's behavior with mental illness "is a stigmatizing insult to the mentally ill."
All of this raises the issue, can the public … American or foreign, trust Donald J Trump? What happens when President Trump announces that North Korea is about to launch a missile that towards Hawaii? Would anyone in China or Jpan care? Would Americans care? Look at what has happened to Mr. Trump's refusal to back off his Saturday morning tweet of three weeks ago that he had "found out that [Barack] Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory," Does anyone believe these are not assertions of an angry drunk with an empty gin bottle rolling around at his feet? Worse, Trump entabgles his officials and even foreign governments into his fantasy. So, Sean Spicer's efforts entangled the UK's CIA, the British Government Communications Headquarters,
All of this continues the pattern from the campaign that Mr. Trump is at best his own worst political enemy and at worst mentally ill. Meanwhile, approaching the 100 day mark. the Gallup has Mr. Trump's approval rating at 39%. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news.

Today's snacks are carrots
People first grew carrots as medicine, not food, for a variety of ailments. Carrots can be traced back about 5,000 years through historical documents and paintings. Parsnips are a close relative of the carrot.
A medium-size carrot has 25 calories, 6 grams of carbs, and 2 grams of fiber. The veggie is an excellent source of vitamin A, providing more than 200% of your daily requirement in just one carrot. Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a natural chemical that the body changes into vitamin A. The deeper orange the carrot, the more beta-carotene you're getting. We think of carrots as orange, but they can also be white, yellow, red, and purple.
