In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton are joined by Dr. Todd Arnold, a board-certified sports medicine physician with more than two decades of experience caring for athletes at every level — from high school and collegiate sports to NCAA Championships, World Championships, and elite international competition.Dr. Arnold serves as the medical officer for elite athlete healthcare for USA Track & Field, where his role is not simply to react to injuries, but to help athletes stay healthy enough to train, compete, and perform when it matters most.This conversation explores how movement assessment fits into modern sports medicine and why runners need more than mileage, strength, or biomechanics alone. Dr. Arnold shares how he uses movement screening, Y Balance, table exams, biomechanics, recovery conversations, and individual baselines to better understand each athlete's state of readiness.The discussion covers:Why sports medicine needs to move from reactive to proactive careHow Dr. Arnold applies movement systems with elite runnersWhy every runner needs an individual baselineThe three things Dr. Arnold does not want to miss in runnersAnkle dorsiflexion asymmetryGlute sequencing and timingThoracic extensionWhy running is repetitive, predictable, and demandingHow movement screens help create athlete buy-inWhy table exams still matterHow Faber and Thomas testing relate to running mechanicsThe relationship between movement readiness and wearable dataWhy recovery may be the biggest mistake many runners makeHow coaches, clinicians, sports psychologists, dietitians, and biomechanics teams can use movement as a shared languageThe key takeaway: running performance is not just about training harder. It is about understanding whether the athlete is ready to absorb, adapt, and repeat the work.Learn more about Functional Movement Systems:https://www.functionalmovement.com/Functional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter
In this episode of The Christopher Perrin Show, Christopher Perrin welcomes John Mays to tell the story of his vocation as a teacher, writer, and founder of Novare Science. Mays traces his winding path from electrical engineering and recording-studio work to public school teaching, graduate study in physics, classical education, and two decades at Regents School of Austin. Along the way, he explains how wide reading in literature, history, philosophy, and theology shaped his approach to science education. The conversation turns to the emergence of Novare Science, beginning with Mays's frustration over the “cram, pass, forget” cycle and his search for a mastery-based model that would help students retain, understand, and love what they learned. Mays describes four major integrations that make science education classical: mathematics, history, epistemology, and language. He also recounts the long entrepreneurial labor of writing, designing, printing, selling, and revising an eleven-book science curriculum over seventeen years. The episode closes with Mays's encouragement to science teachers: teach not merely with routine and assignments, but with wonder, beauty, and a vision of creation as God's loving self-disclosure—themes he develops further in his ClassicalU courses, including Teaching Science Classically: 10 Essential Principles, The Science Mastery Workshop, Science and the Symphony of Creation, and Cultivating Wonder Throughout the School. Episode OutlineJohn Mays's winding path through engineering, recording, teaching, physics, classical education, and curriculum writingDiscovering classical education and teaching physics at Regents School of AustinThe two questions behind Novare: how to teach science classically and how to overcome “cram, pass, forget”Mastery-based learning through cumulative assessments, weekly review, practice, and long-term retentionThe four classical integrations in science: mathematics, history, epistemology, and languageThe first Novare books and the growth from classroom materials into a full science curriculumNovare Science, Centripetal Press, and the eventual partnership with Classical Academic PressTextbook beauty, classroom wonder, and Mays's encouragement to science teachersKey Topics & TakeawaysA Winding Vocation: Mays's story moves through engineering, recording, public teaching, graduate physics, classical education, and curriculum writing. Each stage helped prepare him for the work that became Novare Science.The “Cram, Pass, Forget” Problem: Mays saw that students often crammed for tests, passed them, and forgot nearly everything soon after. He came to regard this as a serious failure of academic formation.Mastery and Long-Term Retention: Mays developed cumulative assessments, weekly review guides, and practice habits so students could retain what they learned. Mastery made learning more durable and satisfying.Classical Science Education: Mays describes classical science as integrating mathematics, history, epistemology, and language so students learn science as part of a larger, ordered vision of reality.Masterable and Beautiful Textbooks: Oversized textbooks can communicate that a subject cannot truly be learned. A humane science text should be carefully written, aesthetically inviting, and realistically masterable.Wonder at Creation: The best science teaching helps students see the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation rather than merely preparing for the next assignment or test.Questions & DiscussionWhat makes a vocation different from a career path?Consider John Mays's movement through engineering, recording, teaching, graduate study, and curriculum writing. How did each stage prepare him for the work that eventually became Novare Science?How does the “cram, pass, forget” cycle show up in your own school or learning experience?Reflect on classes where students pass assessments but do not retain what they learned. What classroom practices might unintentionally encourage short-term cramming rather than mastery?What would it mean to teach for mastery rather than coverage?Discuss the difference between racing through a large textbook and helping students retain a smaller, better-chosen body of knowledge. What would have to change in quizzes, homework, review, and expectations?How do mathematics, history, epistemology, and language make science education more classical?Consider how each element deepens students' understanding of science. Which of these is easiest to include, and which is most often neglected?What role should beauty and wonder play in science education?Discuss Mays's encouragement to show students the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation.

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast. In this episode, Brett McDermott sits down with Amanda Gulino, founder of A Better Monday, coach, facilitator, and truth teller who has spent nearly a decade inside teams uncovering why some leaders earn instant trust while others never do. Amanda shares her journey from burnout to building a company designed to make Mondays something people look forward to, not dread.Together, Brett and Amanda explore why trust is the foundation of thriving workplaces, how fractures in trust quietly erode culture, and what leaders can do to repair and rebuild it. Amanda introduces frameworks like the Trust Equation and Brené Brown's BRAVING model, showing how shared language helps teams move from conflict to connection. She also explains why leaders must learn to respond rather than react, and how creating space—through pauses, deep breaths, or even a walk—can transform communication. Finally, Amanda offers practical ways to tap into team creativity by changing environments, embracing silence, and priming with playful exercises.This episode is packed with actionable insights for leaders who want to build trust, foster creativity, and create workplaces people actually look forward to.Key Takeaways:Why trust is the foundation of culture and performanceHow fractures in trust quietly erode teams—and how to repair themFrameworks like the Trust Equation and BRAVING for shared languageThe importance of responding vs. reacting in leadership communicationAmanda's three M's framework: mindset, meeting space, and messagePractical ways to tap into team creativity by changing environments and priming exercises

His career spans decades of scaling high-growth technology organizations, including leadership roles at Google, Livongo Health, and Tesla, where he oversaw its growth from a 400-person startup to a 35,000-person transportation juggernaut.Throughout his career, he has consistently chosen companies that demand a people function as innovative, as creative, and as forward-thinking as the business itself. And across every role, he has focused on one core idea: the people function must evolve as fast as the business itself, grounded in data, experimentation, and trust.In this episode, Arnnon draws on that experience to challenge how leaders think about AI in the workplace, arguing that the real opportunity is not automation alone, but redefining how humans contribute, decide, and grow inside modern organizations.In this conversation, we discuss:Why the people function must speak the language of data and analytics to influence engineering-led organizations and earn credibility in high-growth, technical environmentsThe shift from transactional HR to a strategic role focused on connection, education, and rebuilding trust after workforce disruption and disconnection during COVIDHow Snowflake frames AI adoption by automating repetitive work, augmenting creative tasks, and preserving human judgment in decisions that require empathy and contextWhy employees adopt AI faster when leaders encourage curiosity, remove fear of experimentation, and make tools accessible through simple interfaces like natural languageThe risks of over-automating decisions like hiring and performance reviews, and why removing human accountability breaks trust inside organizationsHow building a culture of experimentation, measurement, and iteration allows people leaders to scale organizations without relying on intuition aloneExplore the Conversation00:00 Intro & Fun Fact: How AI manipulation threatens autonomy05:06 Meet Arnnon Geshuri: CPO at Snowflake, from Google, Tesla, and Livongo Health10:24 The Evolution of HR: From Transactions to Amplifying Humanity13:37 Snowflake's AI Framework: Automate, Augment, and Preserve Human Judgment21:44 Driving AI Adoption: AI for Everybody and a Culture of Experimentation26:26 Data Privacy and Trust: Building Guardrails for Enterprise AI28:36 AI in Hiring: Mitigating Bias to Rescue Human Connection32:28 Setting AI Boundaries: Why Algorithms Should Never Conduct Performance Reviews34:16 Scaling Culture in Hyper-Growth: The Power of People Analytics41:33 The AI Ride-Along Prediction and What Comes Next43:15 Where to Connect with Arnnon Geshuri and SnowflakeResourcesSubscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Arnnon on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How Rodrigo Liang, Raised Over $1B to Build the First Generative AI Unicorn

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Burger King's menu and marketing shifts, Gen Alpha's growing importance, and the latest data on fast-food and fast-casual traffic. First up is Burger King, which is rolling out a new campaign — including four new menu items — tied to the film “The SpongeBob Movie: The Search for Squarepants.” The brand also stated its intention to double down on beef where its competitors are pushing further into chicken. What to make of these moves? Sam and Alicia share their thoughts on Burger King's play for broader demographics and how it could signal a big evolution for the third-largest burger QSR chain. Speaking of demographics, Sam and Alicia next tackle Gen Alpha and how restaurant chains are making a play for their business with promotions tied to trends like “6-7.” Find out why it's never too soon to build a strategy for the next generation — but also why restaurant companies must be smart of how they connect with younger customers, particularly on digital platforms like social media. Finally, Sam and Alicia discuss new data that suggests quick-service and fast-casual traffic is expected to be slow for the next several months. How might chains react to this reality — and what can they do to differentiate in a “sea of sameness”?

Welcome to sci-fi week at LitBits Audiobooks. We are exploring the Infinite: We will share tips for writing Sci-Fi for Aspiring Authors all week.Science fiction is more than just a genre—it's an exciting portal to other worlds, a mirror reflecting society's dreams and dilemmas, and a boundless playground for our imaginations. For aspiring sci-fi authors, the allure of crafting new realms, technologies, and ideologies is exhilarating. But it's also daunting, as the task of building universes and making sense of them can seem like an endless expedition. Here's how you can embrace the challenges and thrill of writing sci-fi, building worlds that captivate and inspire.1. Start with "What If?"Every great sci-fi story begins with a question. "What if we could communicate across galaxies?" "What if humans could live for hundreds of years?" "What if artificial intelligence could evolve beyond our control?" Sci-fi lets you explore these questions in ways other genres can't. Start with a "what if" that excites you and follow it like a breadcrumb trail through your imagination. Think of it as a journey where both you and your readers discover something new at every turn.2. Ground Your Fantasy in RealityThe most compelling sci-fi worlds feel authentic because they're rooted in aspects of our reality. When imagining advanced technologies, futuristic societies, or alien life, draw on real scientific theories and human experiences. Even if the science is speculative, grounding it in known principles gives readers a foothold in your world, helping them suspend disbelief and invest in your story. This connection between fantasy and reality makes sci-fi incredibly powerful—through it, you can reveal truths about our own society, environment, and selves.3. Craft Characters Who Feel RealScience fiction thrives on ideas, but it's the characters who give those ideas life. Readers will follow your protagonists to the farthest reaches of space if they connect with them. Make your characters complex, with goals, flaws, and desires. In a story about technology or alien cultures, relatable characters are the bridge that lets readers understand and empathize with the unfamiliar. Sci-fi legends like Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, and Ursula K. Le Guin all created worlds that were as rich in character as they were in concept.4. Experiment with LanguageThe sci-fi genre allows, and even encourages, experimentation with language. This freedom is a gift, so don't be afraid to play with terminology, invented dialects, and futuristic slang. Creating new words and expressions can make your world feel distinct and immersive. However, a good rule of thumb is to balance innovation with accessibility—too much jargon can confuse readers. Use your language experiments to deepen the world and enhance readers' understanding without overshadowing the story itself.5. Tackle Big Themes with SubtletySci-fi is often a vehicle for exploring complex themes—be it the ethics of AI, the impact of climate change, or the nature of human identity. The beauty of science fiction lies in its ability to tackle these themes in nuanced, imaginative ways. Instead of preaching a message, let your story raise questions and inspire thought. Subtlety allows readers to reach their own conclusions, and sometimes a theme is more powerful when hinted at rather than spelled out.6. Build Worlds, But Leave Space for MysteryOne of the joys of sci-fi is the endless detail you can include when world-building. But sometimes, less is more. Rather than explaining every aspect of your world, leave space for mystery. Let your readers wonder about the unknowns—it's this sense of the unexplored that makes sci-fi feel boundless. Describe just enough for readers to fill in the gaps with their own imagination; this can make the world feel even more immersive and infinite.7. Embrace the UnknownScience fiction often grapples with the "unknown." Writing sci-fi means embracing uncertainties, be it unknown technologies, alien cultures, or the vastness of space itself. This openness to the unknown not only expands your creative freedom but also helps you approach your story with a sense of curiosity. Let yourself wonder—what might we become in 1,000 years? How might we change as we interact with the universe around us? There are no wrong answers in sci-fi, only paths waiting to be explored.8. Draw Inspiration from the Greats, but Find Your Own VoiceRead the classics of science fiction to understand how others have grappled with the genre. But remember, your voice is unique and vital to the future of sci-fi. Look to authors like Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Frank Herbert not as blueprints but as springboards to discover your own style. Sci-fi is evolving rapidly, and the genre needs fresh voices, perspectives, and ideas to keep expanding.9. Don't Fear ExperimentationSome of the best science fiction has come from writers willing to push boundaries and take risks. Explore odd structures, unusual timelines, or new perspectives. Try writing a story from an alien's viewpoint, or using second-person narration. Sci-fi readers tend to be open-minded and love seeing something they've never seen before. Experimentation is where the genre thrives, so feel free to test your limits.10. Remember That Sci-Fi Is Ultimately About HumanityAlthough sci-fi often involves aliens, robots, and distant planets, at its heart, it's about humanity—our hopes, fears, and endless drive to understand the universe and ourselves. Science fiction allows us to see our own society and psyche in a different light. Through sci-fi, you have the chance to explore what it means to be human and how we relate to technology, nature, and the unknown.Writing science fiction is like venturing into an uncharted frontier. It's a genre that celebrates exploration and innovation, encouraging authors to dream big and think differently. So, trust your curiosity, let your imagination lead the way, and remember that every sci-fi legend was once a beginner too. Keep writing, keep wondering, and who knows? One day, your stories may inspire a new generation of dreamers.If you want to find out more about sci-fi at the Tale Teller Club, stay tuned all day because we are embracing the weird and wonderful genre that has captivated storytellers for generations.This is a LitBits Audio™ podcast by the Tale Teller Club.
We're talking about one of the hardest times to practice validation in this episode - during tough conversations. Yep...I'm talking about those heated moments where emotions run high, and it's so easy for things to quickly go sideways.Choosing to acknowledge both our emotions + the other person's can be super beneficial. Not only does this decrease the ‘power' these emotions tend to have over us, but it also lets the other person know we understand them, and they matter.I want to challenge you to try one (or a few) of these validation strategies the next time you find yourself in a tense situation (or better yet...maybe practice BEFORE the situation arises). I hope you've enjoyed this series, and everything you've learned about validation will be helpful in your own life!In this episode, I cover:Understanding that high stakes equals high emotions + how this plays out in our day-to-day rural livesHow to stay ‘grounded' during heated momentsWhy acknowledging everyone's emotions during tough, heated moments mattersThe power that comes from using neutral, calm languageThe importance of balancing validation with setting boundariesMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Connect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comMentioned Episodes: Episode 15: Repairing After a FightEpisode 36: Boundaries Are KindEpisode 51: Practical Tips for Validation: How to Validate and Seek It in RelationshipsEpisode 50: Validation vs. Agreement: Understanding the Difference and Why It MattersEpisode 49: Calming the Sort Alley: How to Communicate in the Heat of the MomentResources & Links:Rare Leadership in the WorkplaceJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr...

I love big, life changes…said absolutely no one ever.Significant life changes like moving out of your hometown, changing career paths, or ending a significant relationship are terrifying even if you know it is what you should do. It takes proper planning and a lot of courage to follow through with these major milestones.These decisions have never come easy to me. I was terrified to quit my first job. It took me over 6 months to pull the trigger on moving out of my hometown. And I don't even want to talk about the countless relationships that drug on because I didn't have the courage to end them.At the end of the day, they were all the right decisions. The only thing I regret is not making those decisions sooner. I needed some encouragement from my friend and today's guest Kay Cote.Kay knows a thing or two about change. Growing up outside of Fargo, North Dakota, she's learned to embrace these big life decisions. She's lived in South Africa temporarily, tried RV life, quit her corporate job to become an entrepreneur, relocated to Austin, and most recently, decided to take a chance on a career change by jumping into the music industry.Through Kay's story and her PIVOT method, by the end of this episode, we'll be feeling equipped to say yes to that hard decision and embrace the change that comes with it.So if you're ready for that, let's get into it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the minimalist, storm-chasing fanatic, and shuffle dance queen…Kay Cote.Key Takeaways:Building the courage to move out of your hometownCommunicate without verbal languageThe benefits of moving to a new city or countryBreaking out of the mundaneBuilding confidence and independence by movingHow to use the PIVOT method when thinking through major changesHow to get more opportunities by staying open-mindedUsing reflection to figure out what you want to do with your careerNothing in this life is permanentMore of Kay:Website: www.kaycote.comInstagram: thekaycoteMore of The Struggle is Real:Find show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/

Is Terminator happening in real life right now? With AI becoming a part of our every day, it seems like it's a machine vs. human world.For example, remember the early days of social media? Now, social media is an integral part of life.And AI is already part of our daily lives as we open up our phone, which uses face ID, or when we write an email or text, and AI suggests phrases or words to use.The important question is… how do we maintain our humanity in a world of AI and technology?And as technology develops, one thing is for sure -- our relationships, both personally and professionally, will be more important.In this episode, I am pleased to be joined by John Gauntt, the founder of Culture & Code, a B2B podcast and newsletter that focuses on generative AI for creative professionals. I had the privilege of meeting John and collaborating with him at Podcast Movement, where I attended his enlightening AI-focused event.What sets John's work apart is its holistic approach, which is not solely focused on harnessing AI for financial gain. Instead, it delves into the human aspect. This approach has earned his work recognition in esteemed publications such as The Economist and South by Southwest.This episode is not just about crafting the best prompts; it is a discussion on how we, as humans, can preserve our essence in a world increasingly dominated by AI technology and automation.What We Cover in This Episode:Emphasis on the importance of being human while discussing AI and technologyThe need for balance between automation and personal touchAI's role in turning human language into a programming languageThe impact of AI on the workplace and skills needed for successWhy it's important to maintain relationships in business and personal lifeAI's capability to extend human capabilities but not replace human relationshipsLooking at ethical concerns about AI and its impact on industriesFocusing on delighting others through human interaction while using AIIf you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that's not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/callResources Mentioned:John Gauntt's WebsiteJohn Gauntt's LinkedInFollow Elaine on InstagramConnect with Elaine on LinkedInGet Elaine's GIFS + Gifts NewsletterWhere We Can Connect:Apply to schedule a call to see if the Color Your Dreams Inner Circle is a good fit for youSchedule a call with meJoin my weekly Color Your Dreams NewsletterFollow the PodcastFollow Me on FacebookFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on LinkedInCheck out our other podcasts for Women of Color
BW was a 66-year-old woman who presented for an urgent visit to the general medicine clinic. She reported that she had been having dizziness for the last four days. When pressed, she said it occurred intermittently, being present more than absent. She could not identify any palliative or provocative features, and when asked about associated symptoms she said that she felt “bad and scared” when it was present. The doctor encouraged her, many times, to characterize the dizziness, and she could only say that when she had it, she felt dizzy.Sensible Medicine is a reader-supported publication. If you appreciate our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Many a medical trainee has been humiliated on morning rounds after proclaiming that their presentation was wanting because the “patient was a poor historian.” Any attending worth her white coat will respond in one of the following ways:“There are no poor historians, just poor history-takers.”“You do realize, don't you, that the patient is not the historian? You are the historian.”“Did you consider the differential diagnosis of why you were unable to obtain a useful history?”I admit that, going for pith over constructive criticism, I employ the former two more than the latter one. There is a differential diagnosis for the patient who cannot describe the history of their medical concerns.Often, the inability of a doctor to obtain a history is actually a physical exam finding – an extremely non-specific finding, but a finding nonetheless. Psychiatric disease, dementia, and delirium (whose differential diagnosis itself is practically a textbook of medicine) will render a patient unable to provide an accurate history. I can recall dozens of “poor historians'' who became Robert Caro-esque once their hypercapnea, uremia, or alcohol withdrawal was treated.There are three other reasons that obtaining reliable and informative histories might be a struggle.1. We think with languageThe first — the saddest, most troublesome, and probably most common – reason that patients are unable to provide a reliable history is because of their impaired language skills. Not only do we use language to communicate, we also use language to think. George Orwell wrote, “…if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”[i]Those of us who failed to master language, usually through inadequate education, are unable to express their health concerns clearly. Sometimes, listening to a patient try to describe symptoms, I get the sense that the problem is more than expressive.BW was not an especially striking example of this for me, she was just one of the more recent. She also presented with a problem for which an accurate history is critical. The history of a patient's dizziness radically alters the differential diagnosis. We teach trainees that the first question to pose to a patient with dizziness is, “What do you mean, dizzy?” We tell the trainee to ask the question and then sit back and listen. More often than not, patients will describe their dizziness in a way that can be interpreted as lightheadedness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or a non-specific feeling of being unwell.[ii]As I interviewed BW, my sense was that she not only struggled to articulate what she was feeling but to figure it out herself. Beyond my frustration in having trouble caring for her, I considered the lifelong impact of leaving people educationally impoverished. Sure, we limit people's earning potential, but we also limit their internal life and their healthcare.2. Anxiety affects how we experience symptomsVG is a patient I have seen for years, from his mid 30's to his early 60's. He has a few very mild chronic medical conditions and very severe anxiety disorder. He is a successful professional but struggles with intermittent episodes of health-related anxiety.Our interactions usually begin with an email or a phone call. VG will have become anxious about a new symptom. The symptom is real – joint pain, a rash, a new floater. The symptom has generated a web of worry about what it could portend. The worries are always baseless and would be amusing if they were not so clearly painful and disturbing to him.I have learned that for VG, as well as for many patients like him, these concerns require a visit. An accurate history cannot be obtained without seeing him. The anxiety clouds VG's experience of the symptom. The knee pain becomes excruciating, the rash ubiquitous, the floater debilitating. The response to simple questions -- Is the knee pain worse coming down the stairs? Where is the rash? Do you see the floater in one or both eyes? -- become unreliable. Seeing VG, providing some reassurance, and obtaining objective physical data is imperative.3. Secondary gain“Listen to your patient; he is telling you the diagnosis” is is an Osler (or merely Oslerian) quotation. From the earliest days of our training we are taught to listen to our patients and believe what they are telling us. Our greatest sin in history taking is that we interrupt too soon and too often. We ask closed-ended and leading questions. When the answer to a question doesn't align with our hypothesis, we either ignore the response or doubt its veracity.However, patients are people and people lie. Patients exaggerate the symptoms of their sinus infection to get an antibiotic prescription. Patients tell you that their oxycodone or Ambien fell in the sink or toilet so they can get an early refill.[iii] I have had numerous people appear on my schedule with the chief concern of “chest pain” documented by the nurse. When I ask, “Tell me about your chest pain?” the patient responds, sheepishly, “I'm not actually here for chest pain but I really needed to see you and I knew that would get me in.”Some of these untruths are the proverbial chickens coming home to roost. Patients exaggerate symptoms because they fear they will not otherwise be taken seriously. They fear mild but troublesome or worrisome symptoms will be met with:“Let's just watch that.”“That doesn't really sound like it warrants treatment.”“If it hurts to bend your arm, don't bend your arm.”Most everyone learns at some point the factoid that 80% of diagnoses come from the medical history. However, contrary to a standardized test on which the medical history is presented in a paragraph of clean prose, it requires skill to obtain a medical history. A novice will take longer than an expert to extract a less accurate history. From some patients, however, not even an experienced physician can obtain a cogent medical history. This failure may be a clue to an underlying diagnosis. It may also be related to a person's education, their health-related anxiety, or their effort, conscious or unconscious, to influence the doctor. [i] Orwell obviously took this idea to in a frightening direction in 1984 describing a government that uses the control on language to control thought.[ii] We often jokingly describe this last type of dizzy as “dizzy dammit” – as in “I am just dizzy, dammit.”[iii] It is interesting that people only drop opiates, benzodiazepines, and stimulants in the sink. Nobody has every dropped an SSRI, statin, or antibiotic. This is a public episode.
