Chatauqua is great! Shame it's so cold and snowy during the winter...



I'll stay out of the water, and stick to skiing - I hear lift tickets are actually not crazy expensive there

Great narrative in Health Affairs...a story all too familiar to anybody in EMS.

Albanys nice too , but for real, theres a tiny town near new Paltz named Clintondale. Has some of the best "farmy" mountain views i've ever seen. Not much to do, or places to stay... but really pretty if you're going for a day.

And lots of pictures of food!!!!

Sadly, with the food in general here that IS a highpoint.

...and even with all the walking and hiking why I gained a stone. A stone sounds so much better than other measures...

I used to take the train to Rensselaer Station when I was going to school in Manhattan. My Dad and I would hang out in Albany and eat and drive around before going back to his house.

Have to go down to the state plaza a lot >.<.. Church is pretty close to it as well... On the opposite side of town you have the Times union center too . Along with some really really cool technological stuff by UAlbany

Awww dang it. I wanted to drive down to the County EMS office to submit my recert paperwork today.... I need 24 hours of CE's, and I did a mix of in person and online hours, and apparently LA Co has decided you are only allowed to do a max of 8 hours of CE in any one day....and I have 9 hours in one day from the online stuff (that's what I get for thinking I was being productive on my day off) -_-

Precepting two new medics for their clearance rides. One is great. The other... the other is going to drive me to drinking on shift.

As long as you're judged by a jury of your peers who know the struggle of precepting... drinking should totally be fine

 

[EpiEMS]

In a large nationally representative survey of older Americans we found that, among those 65 years or older, the prevalence of dementia decreased from 11.6% to 8.8% between 2000 and 2012, representing an absolute decrease of 2.8 percentage points, and a relative decrease of about 24%. Educational attainment increased significantly, with those 65 years or older in 2012 having nearly 1 additional year of education compared with the 2000 cohort. After controlling for the socioeconomic factors of education, wealth, and race/ethnicity, controlling for changes in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors did not explain much of the additional difference in dementia risk across the two cohorts.

Pretty stunning stuff.
