My surgeon...DRUNK?!

    WOAHHH this article kind of freaked me out apperently there has actually been a study going on about surgeons drinking the day before an opperation and it having an      effect on them the next day! I think the results of them opperating like this are pretty obviouse, they found the surgeons that drank the day before preformed worse, especially the newer ones. Apperently they tested in groups of 3 and 3 out of all the ones who had alcohol preformed slower and made errors all 3 times, go figure right? I mean you have to kind of know it's going to affect you the day after a little as well. I certainly hope my surgeon knows that geez think of what a disaster it could become! I mean if someone is having surgery on their heart and the surgeon messes up it's fatal. What do you all think about this?

A higher detail brain map!=]

What could 5million dollars on one sheet bring right? Wrong I think it's actually well worth the money it is way more advancced than any other brain map. It could help diagnose more things, help scientist understand it better. What do you guys think? I think if they get more detailed with things thats better I mean let's face it scientists are always descovering things and improving what they know. They used to think an atom didn't exist there is always room for improvment and if that could help them succeed in helping people I'm all for it leave your feedback=].

Video games actually, deemed "healthy"=]

Our busy research friends say that playing video            games can help with motor skills. 12 surveys show that it has improved upper arm strength and mobility in stroke patients 5X better than people just undergoing physical therapy alone. Also that wii and playstation games have helped brain stroke by improving the brains ability to create new nerve cell connections and they are continuing to test and see if it can improve other things too. =]

I think that this is actually a pretty believable argument. I mean think about it, sure you shouldn't play video games 24-7 go outside or do something active. But a little here and there I can totally see improving those things. Especially the Wii, it's a very active system [trust me I have one] my arms and body start to hurt after a while sometimes because it requires so much moving and I don't know about you video game players but I get REALLY into a game when playing it lol ;] but hopefully they continue with good results in the future this could be very beneficial. Your thoughts?

Facebook a little harsh?

Well, according to the article I read today a woman who posted a picture of her breast, as she is a breast cancer survivor she posted it showing her scar from it and her profile was deleted and pic was removed. Facebook went on to say if she posted it and didnt show the "nipple" that was fine but since she did, it had to be done. That they have to follow the same guide lines as tv which says no "nipple".


Well personally I don't know what to think I understand it's a nudity thing but come on, she had cancer, it wasn't like she was jux posing becasuse she wanted to show her boob. But at the same time it would be hard to monotor weather people where doing it for reasons like that or jux because they wanted to. And why is it ok just as long as the nipple isn't exposed? Its the same thing so why's it such a big deal? I don' t know...what does everyone else say?
