Online Universities: Be Praised and Beware

Oncologist — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:03:02 +0000

As gas prices rise and everything from transportation to groceries becomes more expensive, I am increasingly grateful for things like online learning which allows students to learn course material and earn their college degree from the comfort of their own home.

Accredited Degrees

Oncologist — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:02:52 +0000

Accreditation has found a route into many educational conversations. Why is accreditation important? How can I verify my degree is adequately accredited? Will an online degree be accredited in the same manner as an on campus degree would be? For those looking to work both nationally and internationally, accreditation is extremely important. However, as the rise in ‘diploma mills’ and ‘fake’ accreditation bodies continues, new students may find it difficult to differentiate the good from the bad.

Best Baby Sling - Does It Exist? (Part 2)

Oncologist — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:32:45 +0000

Mei tai? BabyBjorn? Maya Wrap? Moby Wrap? Over-the-Shoulder Baby Holder? Slings, wraps, and other forms of infant carriers are emerging into the forefront of parenthood. You see them at baby showers, in stores, and on mothers—even fathers. People wear them hiking, biking, shopping, and at home, to name a few places. They even use them while they’re nursing. What’s all the hype about, anyway?

The bottom line seems to be an effort to cater to the active, busy lifestyle of parents, enabling them to do what they want and need to do, without leaving baby behind. It makes perfect sense to me, and I find myself wondering why I don’t see one on every mommy and daddy in the world.

Part of the problem may be that people don’t know which are the “best baby slings.” Websites and message boards tout a zillion different kinds, and it seems like you can find just as many mothers who love a particular brand as those who hate it. All you can do is try it out and see if it works for you.

I wouldn’t dare proclaim a hard-and-fast winner in the “best baby sling” competition. I’ve got my opinions, but I don’t want to try to convince someone else that my favorite infant sling is the answer to their problems. In this area, there’s no substitute for personal experience. Head on down to Babies-R-Us and try a few on. With all the options out there, there’s sure to be one that will work best for you.

How to Get Started with Debt Recovery

Oncologist — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:32:38 +0000

Debt recovery is a challenging process that requires commitment, whether using a debt recovery firm or doing it yourself. Depending on the amount of debt you have, this is a process that can take months or years to complete.

The first thing to do to start debt recovery is to get your credit report. Go to annualcreditreport.com â itâs free, and you can get a credit report from each one of the three credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax, and Transunion) per year. Itâs best to get just one credit report to start, so you can still pull credit reports twice more this year.

Utah Motorcycles on the Rise

Oncologist — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:02:38 +0000

Every year on the 4th of July the Utah motorcycles Club rides through the parade route in Provo before the parade officially starts. I think they love the opportunity to show off their machinery and make lots of noise while crowds cheer, rather than yell disparaging remarks at them.

This year I was astonished to see how many Utah motorcycles were there. They just kept coming, roaring by, circling, popping wheelies, and speeding off again. Either every Utah motorcycle in the state was there, or Utah motorcycles are becoming much more popular.

Health Care Solutions for Long Distance Families

Oncologist — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:31:40 +0000

I grew up on the East Coast, but I made frequent summer visits to Utah as a child to visit both sets of my grandparents. As those loving grandparents have gotten older though, they need more care than an occasional visit can provide. For example, grandpa has battled heart trouble, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease while Grandma has become immobile and tired. Without moving to a different state though, there wasn’t much we could do though.

Recover in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Oncologist — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:30:18 +0000

Even though there are times that patients need to stay in the hospital for recovery, there are also times when home is the best place to recover.

Everyone I know loves coming home after staying in the hospital. After all, a hospital is equipped with trained staff and a wealth of medication, but it can’t provide the familiar environment, family members, neighbors, homemade food and the comfort of your own bed that are all found at home.

Of course, there is no point in going home if you still need help recovering and you can’t find that help at home because you’ll probably just end up back in the hospital. One solution to this dilemma is to hire a good Utah home health care provider. (more…)

Radiation Oncology vs. Medical Oncology

Oncologist — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:00:17 +0000

Oncology is, quite simply, the branch of medicine that studies tumors (cancer) and their development and treatment. There are two main branches of oncology: radiation oncology (radiotherapy) and medical oncology (commonly referred to as just oncology). These two forms of oncology each have their pros and cons and your oncologist’s choice for you will be based on which variety he feels is right for you.

Medical oncology is usually associated with chemotherapy which is a broader form of treatment. This means that for some varieties of cancer it is ideal because it uses a broad-spectrum approach that can target a wider area. However, its side effects are well-known and very undesirable which may cause many people to avoid chemotherapy if at all possible.

On the other hand, a radiation oncologist uses intense beams of radiation to target very specific areas and kill the cancerous cells, while keeping the surrounding area relatively unaffected. Radiation oncology may not be the right treatment for some, because of its narrow targeting, but the side effects, although they certainly exist, are often not as violent.

Only your doctor can help you choose the right brand of oncology for your needs, but it is great to know in our modern world that we have options.
