Summary

If youre medically curious, then youll love the treasure trove of 
information that Dr. Larry Romane shares in this little book. 
 
This longtime ER doctor has always been surprised at how little people know about medical matters, but he knows that knowledge can be challenging to grasp when doctors call a heart attack an acute myocardial infarction and a simple toothache an anaerobic gingival abscess 
Romane cuts through that jargon to answer questions such as: 

Why is everyone getting diabetes? 
Are brand name medicines safer than generic versions? 
Do you need antibiotics for upper respiratory infections?
 

 
He also shares valuable insights, such as: A pound of fat contains about 3,500 caloriesso cutting 100 calories every day for a year would take off about ten pounds; X-rays may cause future DNA changes in a cell, leading to cancer decades in the future; and only about five percent of dog bites get infected versus sixty percent of cat bitesanother reason a dog is mans best friend. 

 
Youll be surprised by all the medical information you dont know  some of it quite useful  in R U Medically Curious?

    ‘A joy’ Philippe Sands‘Glorious’ David Spiegelhalter 
    A fascinating, enchanting and personal look at the meaning of luck, and the way in which it has shaped our shared history and continues to inflect our day to day lives. 
    What does it mean to be lucky? How might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximise those of good? Is there actually such a thing as ‘luck’—some force that intervenes between desire and its consummation, that impedes or hastens it? 
    To answer these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a search for the definition of luck. This quest will take him to Siberia, Versailles, the Old Testament desert; play roulette in Baden-Baden with Dostoevsky; visit a Cambridge fairground with Wittgenstein; meet the sixteenth-century poet Thomas Bastard, who challenged Fortune, and lost; find Nietzsche on the slopes of Vesuvius; learn about the pioneers of probability; the twentieth-century art investigators of chance and possibility; and the intensely personal story of his father’s good fortune in escaping war-time Poland. Starting at the British Library in London, and following the dictates of an online randomiser that decided the chapter order, Flusfeder follows in the footsteps of some victors of luck and those who were defeated by it, from ancient times to the modern day. 
    Luck asks fundamental questions about the world, ourselves, our place in it. In these questions, about our relationships to fortune, to risk, to opportunity, to chance, destiny and fate, we find ourselves deciding who we are and how we might choose to live. 
    ‘Thrilling, intelligent and wilfully unique … I loved it’ James Runcie, author of The Great Passion 
    ‘Ruminative … page-turning’ TLS 
    ‘Fascinating … An eminently enjoyable and engrossing page-turner’ The Jewish Chronicle 
    In LUCK, David Flusfeder delves into the psychology of fortune, intertwining it with elements of mathematics and theory. The book is a top pick for those interested in the social aspects of games, particularly poker, and the communication skills required to navigate them. 
    For fans of Bill Perkins (Die With Zero), Cal Newport (Slow Productivity), Oliver Bullough (Moneyland), and Oliver Burkeman (Four Thousand Weeks).

    There is a hidden agenda in Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos’s space exploration to colonize Mars and the Moon. The media portray them as Americans who are rekindling space exploration that was once dominated by the rivalry between the United States and the extinct Soviet Union. 
    Before you write off what I have just said, hear me out. For more than a decade, I’ve closely studied the lives of Bezos and Musk. I have watched as Jeff Bezos dominated online retailing, and Elon Musk building Tesla and SpaceX. As each spread their wings to critical industries, I began to notice a pattern that only leads to one conclusion, the hidden agenda each harbors. 
    On the surface, it appears each of them is interested in dominating space. However, when you study how they operate in every industry, you cannot help but conclude that there is more to their modus operandi. 
    If you would like to find out what this hidden agenda is, and how Musk and Bezos are dominating the industries they each operate in, then BEZOS vs. MUSK is a book you should read. 
    Here’s more of what you’ll learn in this book: 
    ●	Two dreams that Elon Musk has that’ll take him to the top of the air transportation industry. 
    ●	Discover two images in the conclusion that shows what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are planning when they’re done with their respective projects. 
    ●	What Jeff Bezos did to force NASA to freeze the Artemis program for a few months. 
    ●	An initiative that Elon Musk is undertaking to help increase the thinking power of human beings and why he’s doing it. 
    ●	Why Elon Musk and Amazon Web Services have funded OpenAI. 
    ●	A potent strategy that Amazon uses to dominate an industry it never operated in before. 
    And much much more! 
    If you want to find out the truth behind the rivalry of Bezos and Musk, get BEZOS vs. MUSK.

    Bohm addresses the nature of thought and thinking, and how our conditioned minds become subordinate to the way we think. He says the thinking process “is a representation of what is, but is not what is” and goes on to challenge our perception of time and space as illusory. This conversation ranges from mindless thought to experiencing each moment as eternity.
