And he’s right. Agus also tells doctors and patients to move past their respective resistance to providing patient data because it delivers tremendous benefits for the future of healthcare…

Last evening I attended opening night of Romeo and Juliet. Since I am not as well versed as many of you on the technicalities of ballet, my review will be strictly my impressions and appreciation.

The consequences that followed the explosion left the indigenous…

Bravo. I was also a bit worried about Lisa's characterization. She's not an outright anti-hero, but she is certainly an unlikable protagonist. Eventually, you learn more about her past and why she is the way she is and you begin to understand her…

It was neat being able to see where he grew up and how it was different growing up in Florida then my hometown. I didn’t have…
