Diagnosing Child Abuse
Unquestionably, child abuse is one of the most devastating and horrendous issues faced by health practitioners. Not only because of the vulnerability of the victim and the implications for their future health but also because of the senselessness of this violence.

McCain’s Health Issues Reflect His Character
You can’t have skeletons in the closet if you want to be the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. As Election Day draws near, I imagine that both McCain and Obama are exhausted; both have been run through the ringer. After all, they must endure non-stop campaigning schedules, high pressure debates, and the constant scrutiny of the press.

From tax records to religious affiliations to personal friendships, both men are left bare, no secrets uncovered.
Obama and McCain – Friend or Foe of Science?
In the last presidential debate there were only a few zingers. One came from John McCain who, after Barack Obama compared him to G. W. Bush, emphatically stated, "If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago." Since the debate Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, responded to McCain’s implications with, "If it walks like a duck, if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck!"

And although I often picked their brains in an attempt to beef up my arsenal of teaching wonders, the techniques weren’t always easy to execute amid a classroom of children needing various modifications.
