Malcolm’s Story

I’m a single father because my wife, Keisha died in hospital. This shouldn’t have happened. Keisha should still be alive and here with our son, Byron and me. Shortly after Keisha gave birth to Byron, I noticed that the fluid in her Foley catheter, the thin tube inserted in patients to drain urine was tinged… Read More Malcolm’s Story

Adina and Asriel Hook Up

Adina was walking down the sidewalk when she spotted Asriel coming in her direction. It was the first time she was seeing him since his break up with Linda. “Are you going to preach to me about forgiveness?” he asked dryly. “I know you’re bitter towards your father and that’s understandable.” “It’s good to know… Read More Adina and Asriel Hook Up

Health Over Glamour

Growing up, I used to think that smoking a cigarette, especially, the long, slender variety was glamourous. I mean, Bette Davis looked so sophisticated in Now Voyage when she smoked and countless of other Hollywood great ladies. They were always lighting one up in every single movie they were in. I watched them and promised… Read More Health Over Glamour

Cleaning Up

Monica’s heart sank when she saw the coffee table.  It was strewn with cigarette butts, crumpled up tissues and there was a half-empty bottle of whiskey.  Sarah was drinking and smoking again–two things she’d given up three years ago when she met and fell in love with Ryan.  Their breakup last month was really taking… Read More Cleaning Up

Brain Aneurysm

A few moments ago I read the news about Lisa Colagrossi, the WABC Eyewitness News reporter who died from a brain aneurysm.  She was only 49 years old.  She had just finished from covering a story Thursday morning when she realized that something was wrong. As I read this story, I was alarmed.  She was… Read More Brain Aneurysm

Women and Heart Disease

Believe it or not, the number one killer of women is heart disease, formerly thought to be a “man’s disease”. What is heart disease?  Your heart is a muscle that gets energy from blood carrying oxygen and nutrients. Having a constant supply of blood keeps your heart working properly. Most people think of heart disease… Read More Women and Heart Disease

Women And Infertility

I was watching General Hospital and one of the characters received the news that she could not have children.  Any child she carried would not be carried to full term.  She would lose the baby.  What heartbreaking news.  It hurts to see women who want to be mothers and who would be great mothers unable… Read More Women And Infertility

Women and Arthritis

My mother used to have severe pain in her knees due to arthritis before she got replacements in them.  I remember how swollen they looked.  She told me that the arthritis might have been the result of scrubbing the floor on her knees.  Since then they hurt and her mother put on them but they… Read More Women and Arthritis

Smoking and Women

A long time ago I took one drag on a cigarette and vowed never to touch another one again.  It made me cough and I felt terrible.  My sister used to smoke but then she stopped.  I have a cousin who used to smoke and her lips looked black.  I used to work with a… Read More Smoking and Women
