Road Blogging: I bought a Sony Vaio SZ220 to replace my Dell Inspiron laptop that I use at work for the EMR. (Or EHR, if you want to be trendy about it.) It came with a 30-day trial offer of Cingular's wireless WAN service. I'm blogging this on the Pennsylvania Turnpike en route to Washington, D.C., where earlier today my comrades marched on the Capitol. I'm skipping the political content of the meeting and focusing on education and shopping.
The wireless WAN isn't too bad. The connection is slower than DSL - too slow to be useful for the also-slow VPN that lets me connect to the office. One could go into a coma waiting for the delay time between functions. But, it's adequate for blogging.
By the way, $11 to travel the Pennsylvannia Turnpike from the Ohio border to the route 70 exit is over-rated. It has to be one of the worst insterstates in the nation. What do they do with that money?

Therapeutic Nihilism: More evidence that we know less than we think about persistent vegetative states. Here's an interesting take on the bias that pervades the issue:
Bioethicist Joseph Fins, of Cornell's Weill Medical College, says that ever since the Karen Ann Quinlan case in the US in the 1970s, doctors have been abandoning brain-damaged patients too readily. As a result, fewer patients improve and the statistics get worse. Then families and doctors give up and researchers stop pursing new treatments. It becomes a vicious circle which Fins dubs therapeutic nihilism. "We've spent a long time allowing people to die," he says. Maybe they deserve more intellectual, diagnostic and therapeutic engagement than we have acknowledged."
