LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE My presentation will include the latest research on laughter and humor along with examples, including the physiology, anatomy, biochemistry and classification of humor. I will give examples of the uses of humor in ageing, chronic illness, pain management and even death and dying and grief treatment. I will also make several suggestions on how to bring more humor and joy into your lives with all of this sprinkled with true stories from my 48 years of family practice. Overall, I will show that: "There ain't much fun in medicine but there is a lot of medicine in fun." For more information on Dr. Shonk Click Here. |

NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger Oatmeal Breakfast Cake This breakfast idea is great! Make a Breakfast Cake! Enjoy it every morning for many days or freeze slices and microwave individual pieces as you please! “The Big Guy” says it is ‘Constitutional to promote Regularity’! We have a long-standing tradition of having left-over baking for breakfast. Usually renaming them as Breakfast Cake, Breakfast Pie, Breakfast Pudding or, just like the 2 of us, Breakfast Tarts! I found this recipe for Baked Oatmeal on one of my email feeds and jumped on it right away. |
