ABC’s TV show “The Middle” celebrates “weird”
And it’s cool.
Mike Heck: If you could trade Brick for some kid that never made us worry, would you? I wouldn’t. Cuz then, we wouldn’t have the kid who made us take all the leaves that we raked in the yard and release them back in the wild. Ehh, who thinks like that? I’ll never forget it. So, yeah, he’s weird. But, I’ll take him over some normal kid any day.
Frankie Heck: (sighs) I just want him to be happy.
Mike Heck: Me too.

This is Rob. He’s an anesthetist. It says so right on his cotton scrubs cap. Dr. Rob wears his name and position on his cap for patient safety -while tags can be worn, they get covered by surgical gowns, but caps don’t. He is pushing for others to do so too, for everyone in the hospital to know names and roles to avoid reoccurence of errors due to staff misidentification.
I’ve heard of medical students mistaken for senior trainees then instructed to finish operations. Arrests where requests to perform cardiac compressions... Continue reading

Pretty common to meet people walking their dogs outside, not so much cats – but it’s happening. On the First Caturday (the first Saturday of each month for cat lovers) there are regular gatherings at Delores Park in San Francisco and Lake Merritt in Oakland, to socialize and share tips about taking out your indoor cats.
Here is Boojie Baker, a 17-pound housecat tabby saved from a Bakersfield kill shelter by Sherry Loewinger.
“He was on death row, so I drove all the way down from Oakland to pick him up and he’s been with me since 2009,” said Loewinger…
Loewinger says people are often surprised at how well many domestic cats take to leashes, and the group is... Continue reading

Houston man with genetic disorder says Uber driver canceled ride because of his appearance
Reggie Bibbs, 52, has tumors growing on his skin, including his face, from neurofibromatosis (NF). He requested an Uber last Monday to drive him to the Texas Medical Center for an appointment to get blood work done. Bibbs said the Uber driver came to his street, made eye contact with him as he was standing outside, noticed his appearance, made a double-take passing by his house twice, and then canceled the ride:
“I saw him pass by. He looked right at me. He was going real slow. He just passed the house. I could see the brake lights on. He went a couple of houses down. He turned around and came back by the house again.... Continue reading
