People have referred to Italy as a kind of ‘marker’ in the battle against Covid 19. They’ll say, ‘oh, look at how high the numbers are?’ Leaders have told us, “We may become like Northern Italy!” I was married to a dentist, and have physician friends. One of my favorite courses in school was physiology,…

Pandemic Saga
This is an unusual topic to write in a blog post! But, this virus doesn’t care what race or political identity we are. In this day and age we’re all subject to the same germ, the same confusion and alarm because we have a potential death threat over our loved ones and our livelihood that…
Psychiatrist Ablow on Trump
Anyone remember Psychiatrists? It astounds me that people nowadays don’t honor the field of psychiatry like they used to. We used to have robust discussions in magazines, PBS talk shows re: different medical fields as they related to our culture and personalities in the news.

Really … ‘Down with Prayers & Kind Thoughts’
The chant on social media where people are saying ‘enough with prayers and thoughts, we want action’, is not an accurate way to look at things.
