Susquehanna Technology Association
2008-02-14 19:48:00 This morning I attended my first meeting of the Susquehanna Technology Association or STA. Wow! I was impressed.

A Passion for Williamsport
2007-11-09 20:45:00 When I began blogging the mayoral election, I did so with a little trepidation. But my passion for the subject motivated my pen. I was not alone. There was a lot of emotion surrounding this election. And judging by the ongoing comments on my last election post and the boards, that emotion has not abated.To those who were dissapointed by the election's outcome, of which I was one, may I tenderly make a suggestion? We once argued with a purpose - to support our candidate of preference. There's no purpose in it now. Let go of your dissapointment without letting go of your passion for our cityGabe Campana will be mayor. Gabe Campana is NOT a villain. He's young - and his vision, his ideas and opinions loom larger than life. That's not an "all-bad" quality. And who among us hasn't shared it? Additional experience will temper him. Give him a chance. Whether or not you like how he did it, the fact is - He did EARN that chance.Let's try suspending our disbelief and cynicism. Let's gi... More About: Passion

Williamsport Internist Diagnoses Tiny Tim
More articles from this author:2007-10-30 20:34:00 "What ailed Scrooge's little friend, Tiny Tim? This medical mystery may forever go unanswered, but one Pennsylvania physician has some suggestions on what may have been Tiny Tim's medical situation."So reads the description of this Newswise Pop-Culture article that features the applied expertise of Daniel J. Glunk, M.D., president-elect of the Pennsylvania Medical Society and a practicing internist from Williamsport, PA.In the context of discussing this beloved character from Dickens' story, A Christmas Carol, the good doctor makes important points about both medical practice and the medicine of human kindness. -Dr. Glunk is quoted: “We have many uninsured and underinsured people in our country. They can’t afford healthy food and good medicine. And, often they don’t receive the health care they need.” He encourages physicians and public service volunteers to honor the Spirit of the well-known tale by helping people "like Tiny Tim and the Cratchits.".Comment on this post o... 1, 2, 3 |
