Why, why dost Thou torment me so terribly? Institutions which give nursing care and pain medicatio...

Becoming Cynical, Part 1 - Practicing Medicine - The New Atlantis
http://practicing-medicine.thenewatlantis.com/2014/04/becoming-cynical-part-1.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Becoming Cynical, Part 1. One of the things I hope to accomplish in this blog is to document my change in perspective as third year progresses.

Reflections-shmeflections on computing, language, culture and society in Israel, the Jewish world, Japan and the rest of the world as well as personal kvetching. Favorite online newspapers and newsmagazines. In the meanwhile my English and Hebrew have improved a little. Now I choose which newspapers and newsmagazines to read mainly because of their contents, including their political inclinations (I must confess that I'm a conservative, or to be more precise, an anti-leftist). Israel and the Jewish World.
