Video Outlines Treatment Options For Failing Kidneys

Many of you know that organ donation is a cause close to my heart. One big reason is that my husband donated his kidney to a friend of ours. (Yes -- he's that special a guy. I got lucky!)
Anyway, John's actions are mentioned in this video created by everybody's favourite doctor and neighbour, Dr. Mike Evans.
Released on World Kidney Day yesterday, the video clearly and succintly outlines various treatment options for people with failing kidneys.
Please share with the people in your life who need this information.
Cheers,

Dr. Mike Is In Sochi

Our neighbour and yours, Dr. Mike Evans, is in Sochi as the CBC's official doctor. He's maintaining a Blog while he's there and he wants people to let people know.
So I'm letting you know!
The first post is "Why Steven Stamko's Broken Tibia Didn't Heal In Time For Sochi."
Happy reading! And watching the Olympics.

Making Any New Year's Resolutions?

Is that time of year again -- one year is ending and a new one beginning. Compelled to make a New Year's resolution?
Our neighbour, Dr. Mike Evans, has a new video about the fact that "you are 10 times more likely to stick with a change made at the New Year."
Interesting. And good luck!

Dr. Mike's YouTube Page

Neighbour Mike Evans, the family doctor behind 23 1/2 hours, is drawing people's attention to his YouTube page with an intro video.
Of course, he has all of his videos at the site, including ones about Movember and "sitting disease"; whether to get the HPV vaccine; and the viral 23 1/2 hours, which has racked up more than 3.67 million views.

Let's Make Our Day Harder

Everyone should make their day... Harder?! That's the concept being touted by our neighbour, Dr. Mike Evans.
Confusing? Let me clarify: use a push mower instead of an electric one; walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator; have a walking meeting instead of a sedentary one.
Take (less than) five minutes to watch the video. There's some alarming statistics in it -- ones that may inspire you to make your day harder.

I personally can attest that having close family, friend and community bonds is a real boon when you're sick or healing. 
Enjoy!
