Jumping the shark cartilage

It's a seminal moment in TV history: The Fonz, in leather and water-skis, jumping over a shark. The producers of Happy Days could not have known that they were launching what would become a widely understood metaphor signaling last-ditch desperation.

Rihanna Pledges Support to Bone Marrow Organization

I wasn'the only one moved by the plight of six year old Jasmina Anema, the little girl who died of cancer last week. During her brief life, she inspired thousands of people to get registered as bone marrow donors and she had the opportunity to meet President Obama and pop singer Rihanna.

Rihanna is continuing her support of bone marrow donations in the wake of Jasmina's death, and now she wants Pepsi's help to do it.

The Safe Patient Project

It's just nasty: an estimated 1.7 million people in the US go to a hospital to get well but wind up getting a brand new infection. For almost 100,000 of those people, it will be the last infection they ever get.

This makes the March 2010 issue of Consumer Reports a must-have for all cancer patients and their loved ones because of its examination of the harm done by infections arising from a central line.
