...like an elliptic sermon. As in “Intervention,” the fourth song on the album, questions are posed by the group, and most are unanswered. “Who’s gonna throw the very first stone? / Who’s gonna reset the bone?” frontman Win Butler quavers. While the songs occasionally resemble sermons, they rarely feel preachy. One of the greatest improvements in “Neon Bible” is its defined, consistent tone. However, it’s also its greatest flaw. The album as a whole distinctly...
...thought-provoking. “Tonight it became very clear, in talking about the leverage other countries can exert over the United States, the extent to which there is multi-polarity in the world,” said Ari S. Ruben ’08. “This bone-headed administration has wasted its opportunity to have influence...
Everybody knows at least one person who's had a broken collar bone. They're among the most common fractures - I've had one myself. You might end up with a bump like mine, or sometimes a bit of pain with certain activities (for me, it's swimming the breastroke). For generations, orthopedists have treated clavicle fractures with little more than a cloth support like a sling. The vast majority healed just fine. There is an operation we can do, putting a metal plate on the bone with screws, but it's not usually necessary...
...Recently, America's premier orthopedic publication, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, published a scholarly research paper that compared patients who have had their fresh clavicle fractures repaired surgically with patients who were treated the old way. The researchers (who seem to do a lot of operating on clavicles) found that people who had the surgery actually had less pain and less bump than those treated only with the support. So surgery as the best initial treatment is the researchers' suggestion. That's a conclusion which every orthopedist who has treated these fractures - as well as every patient, understandably...
...second thought these days. The dreaded side-effects just aren't that common. For reasons never clear to the surgeons, new drugs catch on in waves; first it was Prozac, then Zoloft, now its Lexipro. All our patients were on Lipitor, now they're on Crestor. Treating numbers like bone density and LDL cholesterol instead of treating fractures and clogged arteries is hopefully an improvement, so a new generation of patients goes to the doctor, not to get well but rather to not get sick...
