Haven, House, Horror © Nina Otulakowski July 2022 This post is by Johanna Ryan for whom, like many in Chicago in 1999, the Lemak case was like knowing where you were when Challenger blew up.

Marilyn Lemak’s Trial and Punishment

July 5, 2022 23 Comments

In 1999 Marilyn Lemak killed her three children and tried to kill herself.  She has spent over 22 years in jail since.  People in Chicago and beyond can still remember when the news broke.  Janet Lagerloef did more.  She said there but for the grace of God go I and made it her mission to find out more, and then to get the case reopened.  Two weeks ago Marilyn had a Clemency … [Read more...] about Marilyn Lemak’s Trial and Punishment

RxISK Research Fund and Prize

June 27, 2022 48 Comments

We need to clarify some things about the RxISK Prize and Research Fund.  The Prize was established RxISK Prize in 2017 - see The Golden Rule, RxISK No-Nos, Relationships, Stigma and Recovery, Campaign and Challenge. Some of us in RxISK have had a difficult few months attempting to set up a Research Fund for PSSD and other Sexual Dysfunctions. Banking rules have got more … [Read more...] about RxISK Research Fund and Prize

Caught in the Firing Line: Nurse Prescribers

May 30, 2022 6 Comments

Back in early Covid times, I was asked by Cecile aan de Stegge to talk at a meeting: Suicide and its Prevention. Contemporary and Historical Perspectives in Nursing, 1880–2020 This finally happened in May 2022.  Cecile asked me to talk on the issues around suicide and antidepressants, which seemed particularly pertinent as an increasing number of cases that go wrong involve … [Read more...] about Caught in the Firing Line: Nurse Prescribers

The Best Books on Medical Treatments Gone Wrong

May 23, 2022 12 Comments

A month ago I had an email from Ben Fox of forauthors@shepherd.com - a new venture looking to promote books in a new way. See Shepherd.com. The idea is to feature a book by an author and then get her or him to list five books that have particularly influenced them - centered on a topic of their choosing and linked into their work.  Newspapers have been doing this for decades … [Read more...] about The Best Books on Medical Treatments Gone Wrong

The Caste System in Medicine

This post is by Spruce who has been a regular contributor to these columns.  It follows from his comments on The Invisible Doctor and it adds to that post which has had a lot of comments since.  Humans seem to have a tendency to caste systems but most people would be surprised to think you could find them in modern medicine.  I had been thinking about getting a copy of my … [Read more...] about The Caste System in Medicine

Tsang/Shidlofsky Visual Snow Protocol

April 25, 2022 28 Comments

Visual snow describes the appearance of flickering dots or “static” in the field of vision. It’s thought to be a problem with visual processing rather than a structural issue within the eyes. This can cause difficulties for patients when trying to report visual snow to their doctor, as standard eye examinations typically find no abnormalities in these patients. The problem … [Read more...] about Tsang/Shidlofsky Visual Snow Protocol

The Invisible Doctor

March 28, 2022 23 Comments

From her first email M seemed completely believable. Everything since has added to her believability. So why is she not believed? This post offers another example of repeated Sanctuary Trauma, outlined in last week's post, in earlier Kidnapped Daughter posts and in all posts tagged Medical Kidnap. In The Beginning Thirteen years ago, this spring I went through some dramatic … [Read more...] about The Invisible Doctor
