E-Mail Behavior Explained
Human activity is hard to predict. In researching human behavior this uncertainty or lack of information is usually described by scientists as stochastic models. A stochastic model means that even if the initial condition (or starting point) is known, there are many possibilities the process might go to, but some paths are more probable and others less. One of the simplest stochastic models for human activity is a point process in which independent events occur at a constant rate.
Such processes are referred to as homogeneous Poisson processes, and they are used to describe a large class of phenomena, including .....read more »
Marriage and Depression
Somewhere along the way we have lost our friendship and our love, and our lust for one another. My depression has really been hard on him. He seems to think I don't know that. He avoids me by drinking and working. Myself, I feel like I am giving up on the relationship. Using the little energy I have to create and stimulate the growth of new friendships.

Beauty Queen is a Psychiatrist
This is Mrs United States, she is a MD as well as a psychiatrist. More photo's here. Interview with Dr Garian Hunter here.
Why?
When I decided to compete for Mrs. South Carolina and then Mrs.United States, choosing my platform of anti-stigma and mental health awareness was simple as I was already living this platform every day of my life as a psychiatry resident and advocate for those suffering from mental illness. Almost every day I would hear stories from my patients about how real stigma is in their lives and how devastating an enemy it can be. I consider it an .....read more »

Medical Students Socially Segregated from Others
You should warn starting medical school students of the social consequences of studying medicine. In a recent study comparing medical students with students on a different degree course (in economics) at the same university it has been shown that medical students are socially exclusive and feel separated from university life. Moreover, the reasons for this separation are out of the students control.
What are the reasons for this social segregation?
High workloads
The medical school was located outside the main campus
High numbers of contact hours
Most of the contact hours took place at sites outside the university, mostly the hospital.
How did they study this?

Google is efficient for identifying specific medical information
Google is significantly more efficient in searching for specific medical information than other search engines such as Yahoo!, Ask.com and Wikipedia. Moreover, general search engines guide users to websites likely to contain information on a topic of interest with greater efficiency than directly accessing an individual website (eg, Wikipedia, MDconsult and others).
Physicians are concerned about the accuracy of the information identified with ordinary search engines. They often believe that medical search engines identify websites of higher quality than generalized search engines.
When seeking medical information they mostly prefer websites such as:
UpToDate
Medscape
WebMD
MD Consult
eMedicine
PubMed
These medical websites also have disadvantages:
