Another year has gone by, and in two short weeks, we celebrate National Cancer Survivor’s Day. When this day arrives, I am always taken back and remember those who never had a chance to celebrate this day.
Having practiced medicine for more than three decades, as a physician I was firmly involved with the care of little children. As a Family Doctor, Internist, and Hospitalist, I saw my fair share of childhood diseases. One could truly say, I was allowed to save many lives with help from others on the medical teams I was proud to work with, and of course the cutting edge technologies afforded those of us who are privileged to practice medicine in the United States. |

Many of you have read my article on
migraines entitled Is
My Headache a Migraine. Recently I have been approached with questions
from my college campus students regarding their children and the brittle
headaches their kids endure. Two students in particular stated that their child’s
doctor had diagnosed them as having migraines, prescribed the medicine, periactin as needed, but did not explain to them what
migraines in children are really all about.
This is a little disturbing to me, as I feel the more educated my patients are, the better they are able to manage their headaches and lead normal healthy lives. |

 It’s
been many long years since I graduated from my medical residency. I made Chief Resident so spent an extra year learning how to teach and manage doctors who are full of themselves.
I've seen it all. From the totally clueless senior medical student, to Hospital Chief of Staff. A long time to glean some perspective, and time for introspection. My generation of doctors, was the last to go to college, medical school, and train without computers or smartphones. We didn't even have the internet. |

 Headache is one of the most common pain
disorders seen in outpatient practice, and the authors of the current study
provide a brief overview of the epidemiology and larger consequences of
headache. Nearly everyone experiences headache at some point, and the
prevalence of recurrent, severe headaches approaches 25%.
The high prevalence of headache is
associated with substantial societal costs. There are approximately 12 million
clinician office visits for headache per year in the United States, and
headaches are estimated to cost the US economy $31 billion per year. |
