  • We know that the last thing City kids want to think about is the next school year, especially with summer vacation just starting or just about to kick off. But parents may want to check out the latest City Health Information newsletter from the Department of Health (DOH) that outlines the medical evaluations, immunizations, and screenings Junior will need before returning to the schoolhouse this fall. The full newsletter is available here.
  • Already helping keep terrorists out of airports and gun packing kiddies out of our City's high schools, metal detectors can now help adventurous surgeons find those hard-to-find screws left in patient's bodies.
  • If you don't take care of your heart, no one will. Literally.
  • Lots of supposedly antibacterial stuff isn't.
  • Your daily medical justification for drinking way too much.
  • HIV or horrible monkey virus? Take your pick.
