We've gone through an interesting change in fashion trends in the last few years. It seems like watches really went out of style for a while. As smart phones penetrated the market more and more with people, especially younger people, relying heavily on them, the lowly watch seemed to be seen as a one trick pony and was redundant tech.

Before I entered dental school, I received my undergraduate degree; a BA in Psychology. As a psych major, I've always had a fascination with why we do what we do and how we got to be the way we are.

Several years ago we went to Nitrile gloves in my office. We had a staff member with a latex allergy as well as more and more patients marking "latex allergy" on their health histories.

Today I read from the Washington Post that the FDA is considering banning powdered gloves completely.

A short post today because it's all in the story. Medicaid is *scammed* for $60 billion (that's with a big B) per year. Stunned by that? I sure was. There is a great story on Wired.com that outlines how one guy is trying to track them down. It's a great read!
