The title is interesting in that the acupuncturist hero is famous in Joseon times for his medical skills, but his character has not reached the level of those skills when he time travels forward to today. As people confront him and help him become the person he's known to be, they want him to "live up to his name."

"Live Up to Your Name" is a Korean show about a time traveling accupuncturist from Joseon times and his counterpart, a heart surgeon from modern times. Great physical comedy and serious issues. And one of the few great dramas that made it to YouTube. Humor music video.

The city confirms nine of the 10 staff members at the shooting complex have lead levels above the normal range. HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- The city has no timeline for when Oahu’s only public shooting range will reopen as an investigation into elevated lead levels in the majority of workers at the facility begins. The city confirmed nine of 10 staff members at the shooting complex who were tested have lead levels above the normal range. Two additional staff members declined to get tested. A timeline of exactly when the city first became aware current employees had been exposed to lead...

Life among the coma ghosts in a Korean hospital after a famous heart surgeon is injured and joins them. One of my very favorite Asian dramas! Joey Scarbury wrote the theme for "Greatest American Hero".

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills into law Friday. All of them were radical leftist monstrosities advancing his totalitarian control over the state. They ranged in severity from the petty to the monstrous, showing he can promote evil at every level. But one can argue none of them will affect more citizens and likely kill more Californians than AB2098. According to the San Diego Tribune: The bill, AB2098, introduced by Democratic Assembly Member Evan Low, declares that a physician or surgeon commits professional misconduct if they disseminate “misinformation or disinformation” about the nature and risks of COVID-19, its prevention...

Simone Gold is a fighter for medical freedom. Many Americans first learned of her when in July of 2020 Gold, who founded America’s Frontline Doctors, spoke along with other doctors at a Washington, DC press conference. The doctors challenged the coronavirus party line that had been pushed relentlessly in America over the preceding few months. That press conference, at which Gold spoke first among the doctors and served as the master of ceremonies, was a refreshing breakthrough of the voice of dissident doctors challenging the coronavirus crackdown and the accompanying propaganda campaign. Gold and her organization continued fighting for medical...

Elite medical schools are deliberately recruiting woke activists, jeopardizing their mission of training physicians. That’s what our organization found in a review of the application process for America’s top 50 medical schools. Nearly three-quarters of these institutions — and 80% of the top 10 — ask applicants about their views on diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism and other politicized concepts. The clear goal is to find the students who will best advance divisive ideology, not provide the best care to patients. We based our review on the 2023 “Best Medical Schools” rankings by US News and World Report. We then looked...

The aircraft had set off for Antalya in Turkey but was diverted.. Passengers on a Turkey-bound flight from Birmingham Airport experienced a mid-air drama after a pilot reportedly "fainted", forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. The Jet2 flight which was travelling to Antalya in Turkey landed in Thessaloniki in Greece because of what the airline described as a medical emergency. The flight was diverted as a "precautionary measure" according to a Jet2 spokesman. They added that teams worked "extremely hard to look after everyone" and apologised for the delay. Some passengers were delayed by the incident, with one...

My son makes YouTube videos for a living and is sponsored by a small array of advertisers. Recently he was sponsored by a company, Jase Medical, that allows one to visit an online doctor and after answering a few simple questions, you are prescribed 5 emergency antibiotics. The antibiotics treat pneumonia, bladder infections, bio-terror, Montezuma's revenge, and wound infections. I thought this was an incredible premise/service and wanted to share with you the ability to have a potentially life-saving supply on hand in case the SHTF. I filled in the short online questionnaire and received by antibiotics in the mail...

This vaccine campaign will go down as the biggest scandal in medical history and, moreover, it will be known as the biggest crime ever committed on humanity.” Covid vaccines and their forced coercion will go down as the worst medical crime ever committed.

Hi all. Just a little interesting tidbit about a recent bout of COVID in our family (extended). Bottom line, my mom is in home health care far away from our home with my aunt and uncle. While I and my son visited, my cousin and her hubby had literally just come back from Germany (permanently - lived there very long time). FYI they were still tested before plane trip out. That hubby got COVID while we were there and my son and I left soon and “quarantined” in my moms house so we didn’t affect my husband. BUT my cousin...

Are you woke enough to attend Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine? Students literally have to prove it when submitting their application. It shows that medical schools are increasingly interested in pushing political ideology – and less concerned with training physicians. A tipster who’s concerned by identity politics at FAU pointed us to this offensive requirement, which can be found in the list of secondary questions that applicants must answer. To start, they must show they believe in “anti-racism” and oppose “systemic racism”: “As a community FAU Schmidt COM has made a commitment to be anti-racist and address systemic...

The WHO is rethinking its earlier stand on giving a hasty clean chit on COVID outbreak from a lab The recent report by the World Health Organisation’s expert group has, according to an agency report, stated that “further research is needed to determine how COVID-19 first began, including a more detailed analysis of the possibility it was a laboratory accident”, which implies that lab leak is a distinct possibility. It needs to be mentioned that for more than a year, the UN body and a large number of scientists maintained that the origin of the Coronavirus was natural. They were...

President Joe Biden’s administration will continue exempting a number of China-made medical products from United States tariffs even as the Chinese coronavirus crisis exposed the nation’s over-reliance on foreign countries for vital supplies. Late last week, the Biden administration announced that certain medical products made in China would continue to be exempted from U.S. tariffs. The tariff exclusion would have ended at the end of May but now they will be in place until at least the end of November.

A global study of asthma patients found a combination of two drugs dramatically reduces the chances of suffering an asthma attack. Results from the clinical trial show that a combination of albuterol, which provides relief from an asthma attack by relaxing the smooth muscles and is used for immediate asthma relief, and the corticosteroid budesonide, taken via an inhaler, lower the number of sudden episodes of shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing in patients. Such incidents, known as asthma attacks, can often lead to an emergency room visit. "This represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of asthma. We see...

Please pray for my mother. She fell Thurs/Fri night and broke the ball of her thigh. She is to have surgery TOMORROW, @ 10 am Eastern.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced that, beginning May 1, the state’s low-income health insurance would extend full coverage to all qualifying people who are 50 or older, regardless of immigration status. The Medi-Cal expansion is expected to provide full coverage to more than 185,000 Californians, according to Newsom’s office. The May 1 expansion is expected to cost the state $1.3 billion a year. The May 1 expansion includes all people 50 years of age or older who are eligible for Medi-Cal whose immigration status is unsatisfactory. It also includes people 50 or older currently enrolled in restricted-scope Medi-Cal....

I believe that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a medical dictator, and I have reached this conclusion through personal experience. Under his ‘guidance’ at the NIH, every level of government as well as the private sector have been affected by his medical advice. Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled that requiring masks on airplanes is unconstitutional as the CDC had overstepped its authority when demanding the practice. It was a great decision and many airline companies immediately removed their mask requirements. Both airline passengers and employees noted what a relief this was. Some airline officials commented that many of the passenger conflicts...

A bill to require doctors to receive training for providing inclusive care for transgender and intersexed Californians passed 8-2 in the Senate Health Committee earlier this week. Senate Bill 923, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would specifically require a Medi-Cal managed care plan, a PACE organization, a health care service plan, or a health insurer to require all staff and contracted providers to complete evidence based trans-inclusive healthcare training for those identified as transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI). Should a complaint be filed and found to be valid, a refresher course we be imposed on the person...

The Republican-dominated Alabama State Legislature passed a child-protection bill on Thursday that would criminalize performing sex change surgeries and prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapies for minors. The state House passed the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act 66-28 on the last day of the legislative session. The legislation, also called SB184, will go to Gov. Kay Ivey’s desk for approval. Ivey has not said whether she will sign the bill into law, though she passed a bill banning transgender athletes from playing
