Changes in Medicine, Part III For the first couple of decades after I received my MD degree it was taboo to criticize the methods used by other doctors. Few hospitals or clinics had medical records systems capable of retrieving enough information to make conclusions about different treatments or procedures.

Service-Connected Disability Ratings Coming off a threeweek stint describing the CVSO, I might have left out the task of managing expectations.

Last Saturday saw mushers ranging in age from 3-years-old to 14 at the Lakeview National golf course in Two Harbors, with about as much excitement all in one place as anyone can stand. Mike Keyport, great-grandson of John Beargrease, the iconic race’s namesake, was on hand as announcer for the race, and another generation of the Beargrease family was represented by taking a commemorative run around the course to kick off the run. Many of the Cub Run mushers were young relatives of mushers from this year’s and past year’s marathon race. With nearly thirty teams lined up the atmosphere at the Cub Run was filled with dogs begging to be cut loose at the top of their voices. In its eagerness one sled dog broke free from the harness and tore away down the course into the woods. While the gathered throng waited with bated breath, said dog streaked back to the start to join its team and ran a successful race. In the shortest race with the youngest mushers the crowd spread out to give the teams, mostly operating independently, a better sense of their course. One sled, dogs and musher went a bit wide and was quickly dug out of the deep snow and set back on course by willing and pleased spectators.
