Quantifying Quality of Life
Quantifying Quality of Life – what does that mean? In an old comedy routine, a patient asks if they’ll be able to play the piano after recovering from their injuries. When the doctor assures that it won’t be a problem, they reply with surprise, “Odd – I couldn’t play piano before.” It’s a funny joke, […]
Scared to Ride After a Motorcycle Wreck?
What You Need to Know: Emotional Roadblocks After A Motorcycle Wreck When I was younger, my friends and I used to race on our bicycles. During one such race, we were headed around one of those chain-link backstops. As we made the turn, my pedal caught in my friend’s front spokes, and I went flying—right […]
