As I recall, the
happiest time of my schoolboy daze was summer. My teachers, oddly enough,
recall the same thing. Summertime and the living is so easy that I still make
a point of taking summer off. Could be in the throes of doing a surgical
liposuction but if it’s 12:01 June 21, I will put down my scalpel and suckers.
“Sorry folks but summer calls.” Return to the OR after Labour Day with new
shoes, underwear and a lunch box with a superhero on it, and finish sucking and
sewing the patient up. (Using this technique, I guarantee they’ll have lost
weight.) But to make sure we all show up on Labour Day with our superheroes and
underwear intact, remember:
Dr David Hepburn Is the one of the
leading Doctor is in Canada. Whose knowledge level regarding to medical scienc
is much wideer. He is the author of "The Doctor Is In(sane)" which
was nominated for several book awards. He is very successful man in several of
fields, and studies also. For the past few years they travelling to various
countries to provide their medical services to its clients.
When Thunder Roars, Go
Indoors
The majority of those
who die from lightening strikes were within feet of safety but stayed out to
finish their lawn, their shot or their shots. A healthy respect for thunder and
lightening means keeping you alive and as more of you are apt to buy my book if
you are alive, I am a strong advocate of being alive. Lightning can actually
strike well before rain hits, showing up even 10 miles outside a storm's rain
belt. Take thunder as a cue to get indoors. If that's impossible, get inside a
hard-top vehicle. Find shelter under a tree, however, and you may never
read my book. Once inside, do not use landline phones, computers or video games
or you may end up in need of a superhero/doctor (redundant).
Pet a Bee and Perhaps
Not Be
I’d always considered
bumblebees relatively innocuous compared to the more aggressive wasps and
hornets. Big, fuzzy, friendly, plush honeymakers that welcome me to my Honey
Nut Cheerios and Esso stations (the SOB?). Heck, I used to tell my sons to go
ahead and pet them like they were the neighbour’s cat. But a growing number of
severe allergic reactions are being caused by bumblebees. In fact, they can be
deadly to those who are allergic to other stingers. Three key recommendations
for people who are allergic to ANY stingers:
1. Consider allergy
shots. Quite effective in preventing allergic reactions to stings.
2. Avoid all stinging
pests, including bumblebees, Ali, Revenue Canada.
3. Be aware of factors
that increase the chances of a serious reaction such as: heart disease, high
blood pressure, asthma; and even taking certain medications, including the very
common beta blockers and ACE inhibitors.
Don’t Tick Off the Cat
Not to be outdone by
the bees, summer is peak season for a bacterial disease in cats called
tularemia, an unpleasant illness that can be transmitted to humans if they're
bitten by a tick or an infected cat. And to think I used to tell my sons to go
ahead and pet cats like they were the neighbour’s bumblebees. Cats eat rabbits
who get bitten by ticks, who can host tularemia to say nothing of other lovely
diseases brewing away in their wee tick bellies including: Lyme Disease, Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever, Libya. There are no vaccines for tularemia. The best
protection is to keep your pet cats, rabbits and ticks indoors.
Lazy, Curl Up or Moe
Thousands of summer
injuries a year involve the lawnmower weapon. I personally know that my back
goes out if I even think of touching one, so I get my wife to use it while I,
being a responsible doctor, carefully monitor her health from my hammock. While
lawnmower injuries conjure up thoughts of wiping the blades just as junior
discovers a new button to push, there are no shortage of burns either. But
every summer it is the juniors who get injured the most and who should never even
be in a yard with a running lawnmower. So even if your back is fine, I suggest
that you be on the lookout for children, a responsibility best done by male men
of the guy species... from their hammock.
