Important Update - Please read here!

1) Copy and paste the matrix of “Viral Icons” below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">The Thinking Blog.

2) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16×16 pixels) to href="http://www.imageshack.us/">ImageShack, a similar free image hosting server or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.

3) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the “Viral Icons” in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.

4) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their “Viral Icons”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon’s code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.

5) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Host Icon:

VIRAL-ICONS

Rules: No Porn Sites, Only 1 icon per person (i.e. don’t hog the ViralIcons!), and please don’t tamper with other people’s ALT tags, URLs or favicons.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your favicon and the associated code you designate as “Host Icon” here, replacing one of the “Viral Icons” from the matrix above. Feel free to drop a comment here with your blog URL, ALT tags and favicon URL (we don’t mind if it is the same all over the blogosphere).

Optional: Display the “Viral Icons” badge on your sidebar and promote your blog. As more and more bloggers copy and paste the “Viral Icons” from the matrix above, the more backlinks you will have with your ALT text, and in turn the more promotion your blog with get. The sooner you participate, the more link love you will receive!

Mom’s previous pain in the shoulder is getting too much. Mom isn’t even able to grab a slice of bread and put it in her mouth herself.

On top of that there is now the pain from mom’s hip or legs: probably due to arthritis and old age, or just because it has been overused also when mom was taking care of father’s metastatic liver cancer.

We now have our emergency plan starting: trying to get all the help we organized for father back into the house for mother. We have to find out if that is as easy as it looks, because strictly speaking: this is not palliative care. But it should be as mom is no more able to feed herself nor to drink herself.

The more painkillers mom takes, the more her blood-pressure goes up. Not good for her eyes to start with. If she can walk again (that is get into the car), then scans and sonar are scheduled next week…

As a person whose father died of metastatic liver cancer, I am happy to write this sponsored post about Medicexchange: a portal about medical imaging or in proper English: noninvasive screening with scans or sonar.

Why everybody needs to read Medicexchange

If you think the Medicexchange portal is only for a specialised audience of radiologists then think again:

• you better know what these so called specialists are reading (or are supposed to be reading!)

An example:

• Why the doctors never found fathers’ primary cancer.
• Because doctors didn’t use virtual colonoscopy.

The colonoscopy got stuck in fathers’ intestine. With all respect for this medieval looking doctor and his medieval colonoscopy: if he had read the article at Medicexchange and his hospital would have had the right equipment, father would have had an extra option. for father’s diagnosis.

Father would probably have got chemo-therapy and again here would have benefited of another article of Medicexchange: Exploring better ways to determine when to change the course of metastatic colorectal cancer treatment.

Completely the opposite of the advice he gave us: don’t surf around too much on the Internet… Just imagine that kind of answer when your father is dying…

What to find on Medicexchange

Medicexchange is a well designed web portal targeting professionals in the Radiology. The site provides:

• medical software designed for solving radiological problems
• an abundance of the latest news and other helpful information
• a free newsletter
• 6 communities specialized in:
• Breast Imaging
• Cardiac
• Abdominal-Pelvic
• Musculoskeletal
• Thoracic
• Neuro

Again: Medicexchange targets a specialised audience of Radiologists, technicians and allied health staff.

Chance is small that as a patient you are going to download and try a free trial for 3D-Doctor modeling medical software. But it’s in your best interest that you know what other non invasive screening methods exist. Being well informed gives you more reasons and options which hospital to choose for better treatment.

Just imagine what extra information the doctors get when you are examined in a hospital using the latest HDTV endoscopy techniques compared to the normal "oldfashion" endoscopy.

Conclusion:

Medicexchangeis a 1 stop portal

• where professionals can get the latest info about medical imaging and radiology software
• where patients in need of the best and latest medical imaging technologies can start their research

Make sure you are a well informed health care costumer. Before doctors tell you they need to cut you open in order to have a look what’s happening inside your body, read about better and less intrusive medical imaging news or read the latest healthcare news.
