  1. Healthcare: The testing glut

    In case you missed it, a recommendation came out last month that physicians cut back on using 45 common tests and treatments. In addition, patients were advised to question doctors who recommend such things as antibiotics for mild sinusitis, CT scans for an uncomplicated headache or a repeat colonoscopy within 10 years of a normal exam.

  7. Research security standards before storing medical data with a business

    <b>I had an MRI recently and asked for a copy of the test. Instead of giving me a CD copy, they offered to put it online with a company that would allow me to access my images and share them with my doctors as needed. It seems like a good idea, but how do I know if it is really secure or private? Should I trust this new technology or stick with a copy on a CD?</b>

  13. Changing course mid career

    Life often takes unexpected twists and turns, as it did for Jeff Henry, 29, of Huntington Beach. Henry always knew he wanted to be a teacher. He was a volunteer coach in a youth program and quickly realized teaching went hand in hand with coaching. With a bachelor's degree and teaching credential from Vanguard University, Henry got a job as a math teacher in a Santa Ana high school. He soon found out that he was not suited for the job.  &quot;I tried hard to motivate the kids, but with little parent involvement, it was hard watching kids fail out of school," Henry recalled. "I took it on as my own failure."

  17. Technology expands breast cancer screening options

    Breast-cancer-screening isn't like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's harder. It's like looking for needles in a big field of haystacks, where some of the haystacks have needles, while most don't, but you don't know which are which, so you have to look in all of them.
