When I talked with Ben Greene for his Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) Podcast a few weeks ago, we got into a conversation about whether OMM is a procedure or a process, and it has been on my mind since. OMM is a field in Osteopathic Medicine, and it is my specialty. It has been both a vehicle and destination for me to learn the process of helping patients get from illness to health.
This podcast is directed to osteopathic medical students with the goal of facilitating their understanding about the healing potential of OMT as witnessed by physicians in their clinical practice.
Dr. Grimshaw is going to address the ways families can cope with the stresses they are experiencing. This relates to how we communicate with each other, how much we are able to connect with and receive support from others, and our ability to adapt to the changes that are happening to us.
If you watch the recently released series Our Planet, narrated by David Attenborough on Netflix, you will find there are not enough people on our planet asking this question. I beg all of you who read this to please ask yourself this question and live toward being able to answer it. The questions’ journey is not about being right or perfect; it is about being aware.
I watched The Magic Pill documentary on Netflix and I support the information in it. I wanted to create a blog post about it and share this information with you in hopes that you will watch it too.
Maybe it is really hard for people to see others as being the same as them in that unifying attribute of being human because they haven’t exercised the practice of seeing and listening enough to gain the clarity that connects the dots. Long ago, I began seeing myself in my patients, my children, my family and friends—and I see them in me. That realization is what brought empathy to my work as a physician and to all the other roles I have in life as well: husband, son, father, grandfather, sibling, friend, teacher, student, etc... It helps the process of dismantling the ego, and it guides all my decisions.
What is reality? Recent scientific discoveries make one thing certain about the age-old question. It is certain that science does not have a good grasp of reality. Two of the best models of physical reality, the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, appear to be fundamentally incompatible.
In the middle part of Einstein’s career, though he had laid much of the groundwork for Quantum Theory, he balked at the implications of what was discovered….that there is embedded within the laws of physics an uncertainty that cannot be overcome. I think of it as a mystery that remains beyond all our measurements, calculations, predictions, and perspectives.
