Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the leaks & drips of an overactive bladder

2 July 2024 at 19:06
A video lecture: "To pee or not to pee." The problem is clinicians don't ask about urinary incontinence. It's under recognized, under diagnosed, under treated, under discussed, understudied despite the fact it affects close to half of older women and about a third of older men. FAQ for an overactive bladder.

More from the Geripal podcast transcript:
I've seen many cases where patients come in and they're basically homebound, and then you see that, you know, they shouldn't be homebound. Their mobility isn't that bad.

Under golden Roman yoke the port gained gleaming palaces and mosaics. Ostrogoths, Vandals, and Byzantines alternately wrecked and rebuilt." Take Jessica DeFino's quiz on whether you can distinguish actual perfumes from fake: "Picture a Barbie melting in a hot car: vanilla, candy floss, white summer florals, hedione, cashmeran, ambroxan, musk, strawberry, ginger. The artificial epitome of sex."

The just-before or the just-after tell a story; whether of becoming, or of letting go. For over 12 years, Mary Jo Hoffman has been taking a daily image of a gathered natural object (usually plants, sometimes dead birds and in one case, a live toad). Click on "details" at the bottom right of each object for, well, details. Hoffman on technique: "I spend a lot of time waiting for the sun to go behind a cloud so I can get softer lighting."
