So, how's that New Year's resolution to lose weight going?
written by Renu Mansukhani, M.D.
on Saturday, 26th January, 2019
So, how's that New Year's resolution to lose weight going?
As a physician specializing in weight management, you would think I
would be a big fan of New Year's resolutions to lose weight. I'm not.
Call me cynical, but I find New Year's resolutions to be
well-intentioned, but short lived, attempts to change ourselves
dramatically for the better. With new energy January 1, we ...

Social Connections as The Secret of Happiness
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Wednesday, 26th December, 2018
Are you alone at this time of the year, or do you plan to spend time
with your family and friends? Do you know of the loners in your
neighborhood or your work places? If you have, like me, many holiday
gatherings to go to, count yourself very lucky. You might complain
how you do not have enough time to “relax,” with all the
running around getting gifts for family ...

A Thanksgiving Message from an Interfaith Service at Saint Francis Episcopal Church in Potomac
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Wednesday, 21st November, 2018
I love Thanksgiving as it marks the beginning of the holiday season.
It also reminds me of all the important relationships I have in my
life. It’s a “home coming” kind of holiday and one
of kindness, where many of us look out for those who don’t have
too many social ties, who yearn to feel “belonged, and invite
them to join our feast.
It’s ...

Three Letters From Sarajevo
written by Nadia Hashimi, M.D.
on Saturday, 3rd November, 2018
On Sunday evening, my husband and I attended a music event at
Strathmore, a concert meant to broaden our horizons. Three Letters
from Sarajevo, by Goran Bregović, a diversely talented
Serbian-Croatian musician. For much of the evening, I found my
thoughts drifting to the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life
synagogue and the lives senselessly ended. Each of the "three
letters" ...

Nevertheless, We Persist...
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Saturday, 13th October, 2018
Two years ago, one of my 18 year old patients almost killed herself.
Her mom told me how she came home abruptly from college and showed
signs of severe depression. An emergency appointment with a therapist
revealed how she recently was raped on her college campus by a male
student she knew. Her college administrators were then notified by
the patient and her parents. This ...

A Day In Hiroshima: Tolling the Bell for Peace
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Saturday, 1st September, 2018
Two weeks ago we were in Japan. It was an amazing and interesting
country and culture for us to explore. The Japanese we met during our
trip were so polite, so gentle, and very formal in many ways. Their
streets were absolutely clean, something we had heard from many
friends who had travelled to Japan before. In many public places in
Japan, there are no trashcans! People ...

On Valor and Vitality - Lessons from Senator McCain's 'Battle' Against Cancer
written by Nadia Hashimi, M.D.
on Thursday, 30th August, 2018
Senator John McCain’s “maverick” politics placed
him among the most intriguing contemporary legislators. His policies
and feud with the current president continue to inspire support and
criticism from the partisan masses. But Senator McCain’s last
year of life also inspired conversations about how we cope with
illness, both individually and collectively. ...

Tomato Day: A Morning at Carrboro Farmers Market
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Saturday, 21st July, 2018
Every time my husband and I are in Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
visiting my parents-in-law, we make sure to join them for the Saturday
ritual of going to the wonderful Carrboro Farmers Market. The market
is quite extensive, with cheese, pasta, gourmet soup or bread makers,
mushroom farmers, and flower growers, in addition to the usual vendors
of fruits and vegetables. There ...

A Summer BBQ Festival: A Face of America
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Sunday, 24th June, 2018
The summer is finally descending on to our area. It seems as if the
rain has been incessant, soaking my treasured tropical and cactus
plants on my deck. We saw some speckles of sun yesterday and decided
to keep our plan to go to a BBQ and Music festival in Washington DC.
We are trying to keep ourselves on mostly a fish and vegetable diet,
but we can’t talk about summers ...

Parts Unknown: What I Will Miss About Anthony Bourdain
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Thursday, 14th June, 2018
Over the years, I have heard of many suicides from patients and
friends, from the media on famous people like the Hemingway family
members or actor Robin Williams. There was an elderly patient who
went to me for quite a few years, forming a mutual bond beyond the
usual patient-doctor relationship. I knew many details about her
personal life including a very close relationship ...
