我手中拿著一個名為CPR的鎚子，逢倒地不起失去意識呼吸脈搏的肉身安妮，就開始胸外按壓的高品質敲打。給我OHCA，我要OHCA! 用力敲，快快敲，胸回尻，不停敲。那個斷肢湧血的？壓了！紫舌長吐的？壓了！頭頸分離的？壓了！浮脹滲漿的？壓爆了！紅的壓成黑的，黑的當成紅的，用肚皮與臀部的搖晃跳一場虔誠巫術的復甦之舞，平均值的社會大眾與鏡頭熟悉這份象徵熱血公義不容辭的感性語言，即便被施救者的魂魄已一瀉千里到…

Day 11 of the protocol. First seven-plus-hour sleep in the entire dataset. New HRV ceiling, weight a kilogram and a half down, blood pressure dialed in. Then the morning NAD+ pulse hit harder at half…

I have long believed that gravity is, in the end, the thing that brings us down. Now, prolonged periods of weightlessness are no one's best friend: witness the state of astronauts and cosmonauts when…

I’ll write much more about design for birth and death in coming months — I have a fellowship next year and will teach two new courses on this subject — but this story nicely details the ways…

I’ve said before that I’ve got a tear in the lateral meniscus of my right knee, and that I’m supposed to get that patched up with arthroscopic surgery in less than two weeks. But my…

5/8/2026, 10:33:45 AM Back workout, 2x5 power cleans. Might as well strengthen my back if I don’t have to recover from judo.

over the past year, my wellbeing has measurably increased as i implement healthier habits and spend time being happy with my fiancé. i'm no longer plagued by constant lethargy and migraines.…

The Guardian has a strong piece on Angine de Poitrine.

I got to the shop late this AM - I rolled out of the rack at 0708. I had woke up at 0130 and couldn't go back to sleep. Watched YouTube until 4-ish when I finally got the eyelids to slam shut. I had…

I am no medical professional, I simply have reflected a lot on my own emotions and feelings, and am sharing my thoughts on what works for dealing with emotions in my own experience. I’m going to…

I've lived with depression/anxiety/whatever for years, many of them untreated. Five or so years ago, I started therapy and have been in it most weeks since then, except for one lapse after getting…

What happened was, after 10+ years of not exercising, I started running again for real in 2025. I've been tracking progress in my head, in text files, a spreadsheet. Madness. The next logical step is…

Stretching, cycling, and pizza

Having a chronic condition is like drinking a glass of poison every day. The poison doesn't guarantee that you get sick, but you are still forced to drink.

Athletes have rest built into their training. Teachers don’t. Here’s why recovery isn’t optional — and what it actually looks like later in the year.

Running coaches all over the world have become increasingly anxious during the past few years with the advent of large language models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. But…

Today I read “This is why I’m fat” by Gordon McLean, and a lot of the ideas he puts forth I can relate to, so I wanted to write about those, and my own experiences. With the societal…

There’s a symptom of CPTSD that I don’t think people talk about enough. And that’s the emotional whiplash of being completely overwhelmed one minute and then absolutely nothing the next. Like…

I was on a call with a runner I coach last week and she said “I feel kinda dumb that my goal is just to finish my first half without walking. My friend’s training for a sub-3 marathon and…

Some self-described "public health scholars" have called on doctors to stop talking in public about drugs that could save their lives. I look at their backgrounds and possible motivations for wanting…

Yesterday's nasal-strip article promised the Oura the next morning would be the discriminator. The discriminator landed. BDI dropped 67%, SpO₂ jumped 5.5 percentage points — both the best readings in…

In my previous post, I said that I live a very sedentary lifestyle and wanted to change that. So this is roughly 3 months of hitting the gym. Truth is this isn't my first three months in the gym, but…

Well I can't say I didn't see today's depression coming. There has been a lot of stress and a lot to do, and nonstop action and movement for days. Obviously something about my mental was going to…

Wearables arrive with the kind of confidence that two-decimal precision allows. They are describing one substrate, not the whole organism. This post is about how to demote the watch from judge to…

For some reason I want to get a bicycle now. It's been a while since I last used one consistently but I figure it would be fun to get some physical activities going on outside!

This article refutes the claim that patient video recording makes doctors 'robotic.' Patients record mostly out of fear of forgetting details rather than seeking trouble; practicing medicine…

Last weekend I participated in Walk MS here in Philadelphia. The weather was overcast and cool which made walking a breeze and free of MS symptoms. When we reached the 1-mile mark, I felt good enough…

Stop Cognitive Bias from Ruining Your Decisions

I really did not expect there to be a need to write this in 2026, but here we are: please do not be seduced by the claim that drinking raw milk is a health upgrade. I understand why the argument…

As a physician, one of the most frustrating public takes is the claim that doctors don’t receive enough training in medical school about nutrition, as though that is the central reason chronic…

People like to defend their favourite health and wellness practices by saying that “every little bit helps.” This is often intended to disarm and evade any skepticism by conceding the obvious: “Sure,…

i mostly grew up thinking that chronic anxiety was something that happened to other people. I was pretty shy with strangers and garbage at public speaking for most of my childhood, but a persistent…
