Mental Gymnasitcs, MedTV, Baby in X-Ray Machine, Sex, Pregnancy

As I had a busy day at school, in the library, in school, and at the library, I didn't have too much time to ponder what I would blog today. I did, however, come across some rather remarkable stories I wanted to share with you.

Before that, here is some advice:

  • Prescribe IUD's instead of Natural Family Planning.
  • Be Empathetic.
  • Speak Softly and don't carry a stick at all.
  • Remember, you are a learnee.
