Dr. Victoria Sweet, SLOW MEDICINE, THE WAY TO HEALING
A radical new understanding of how medicine is best practiced, from the award-winning author of God’s Hotel
Over the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician, “healthcare” has replaced medicine, “providers” look at their laptops more than at their patients, and costs keep soaring, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency. Yet the remedy that economists and policy makers continue to miss is also miraculously simple. Good medicine takes more than amazing technology; it takes time—time to respond to bodies as well as data, time to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment.

- SUPERSTITIONS (from October Readers Digest)
Never walk under a ladder. THE BACKSTORY: ancient Christians believed that any triangle represented the trinity, and disrupting one could summon the Evil One. These days, our under-ladder phobia is a smidge more practical: avoid it because you might get beaned by falling tools, debris, or an even less lucky human!
- Tips on lawn/leaf clean up: (From the Farmer’s Almanac)
- Thick layers of leaves can become wet and heavy, smothering grass and inhibiting growth in the spring.
- Leaves will break down over time, but the buildup of mold and fungi may eventually spread to the grass, too.
- Leaf cover can encourage springtime pests, such as mice, moles and voles, to be more active and destructive in the area.
- Quickest and easiest way to clean up is with leaf blower or leaf vacuum
