Party tonight!

Grafton's heading out soon, so his going away party (complete with another fire in that lovely copper firepit) will be happening tonight. I definitely foresee some nap time between work and the party, but I'm looking forward to it.

Patient-instructing last night was 2nd year med students -- the first of the new school year. It's always a bit befuddling to remember to switch gears from the sessions we do with the residents to the from-scratch training with the 2nd-years, but last night's went remarkably well. One of my students had better patient-interaction skills than I've seen in ages, and did better with picking up the technical sides of the exam than many of my residents, frankly. It's been a good week for rewarding sessions, actually.

Today maybe I'll finally manage to get through the ever-increasing list of article links that's been accumulating recently.

Quite an interesting timeline

Mother Jones has an excellent timeline detailing the issues surrounding Emergency Contraception from 1960 to present day.

It's a fascinating if infuriating read about overwhelming scientific data getting trampled under biased politics.

Also, it includes links to the original articles it references, which makes for lots of interesting reading.
