Wondering what’s on the medical horizon? Here’s some thoughts on what’s in store. From male birth control to HIV vaccine, this list of future medical breakthroughs look promising.

Holiday help for the CrackBerry crowd

Addicted to electronics? Can’t seem to leave your blackberry, laptop, PDA, etc at home? You’re not the only one. A recent survey done by Tripharbour.ca, a cruise planning site, found that 21% of working Canadians are connected 24/7, even on vacation. But for those who want to break free, there are now some resorts that not only offer unplugged rooms but also force guests to ditch their devices at the door. A bit like rehab for the electronic addict…

The World’s Weirdest Health Mascots

Have you seen this new breed of health mascots that focusing on sensitive and often embarassing, health issues ? There’s
Prosty the Spokesgland, a walking, talking prostate gland that is half SpongeBob Squarepants and half Rodney Dangerfield. And what about Petey the Pee Cup, a giant, foam rubber incarnation of a urinalysis jar that’s making his rounds in Minnesota, campaigning for routine health checkups. And it’s kinda hard to miss Mr. Testicles, a giant, walking scrotum, wearing nothing more than an exaggerated grin, who’s wandering the streets of London, encouraging Brits to make an appointment to get screened for testicular cancer. It really is a brave, new world…

And finally…

Here’s the story of Hope, a puppy born without front legs uses model airplane wheels to get around.

AMATEUR TRANSPLANTS: Anaesthetists Hymn LIVE

Post from: Healthbolt

Farrah’s spent the last couple of years fighting not only the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but also the tabloids and paparazzi in an effort to protect her privacy. Having cancer is bad enough, but having to live it out in the eyes of the paparazzi and tabloids that ‘enthusiastically ‘ announce to the world that ‘”Farrah’s Cancer Is Back!” (as the National Enquirer did in 2007) must be the pits.

Seems it’s okay for the media to parade Farrah’s health all over the news in an effort to sell papers and make money but when Farrah decides to do it herself by participating in a documentary (On a Wing and a Prayer) about her treatments, it’s another story. For example, yesterday’s ABC News headline read ‘Farrah Fawcett Cashing in on Cancer Battle?’ which makes it sound like Farrah has no right to “…tell all about her battle with cancer in an upcoming documentary — and potentially make millions in the process.”

Why is that?
