Post Cards

And which little piggy is about to have surgery?
It's not a doodle. It's an autograph. Because before surgery, many doctors sign the site where surgery should be performed, while the patient watches. It's a program called "Sign Your Site," to make extra sure the operation happens in the place it should.
You've got 206 reasons not to be a lazybones.
Even as an adult, all of your bones keep changing. They're either building and maintaining their strength or becoming weak and porous. Weight-bearing exercise is critical. By staying in shape, you can prevent bone loss.
When is a simple fracture a really bad break?
For many adults a fracture is a sign of underlying bone loss. So if you get a fracture from a minor fall or in the same spot twice, we recommend a bone density test. And certain lifestyle changes like better nutrition and weight-bearing exercise.
