Whether you are seeking a summer job to pay for new clothes or a job to launch your career, make sure that you take it very seriously. You cannot afford to be lazy when searching for a job. If you fall into these traps, you will lose out on some...
Many teens become stressed over following or choosing their career path by the time that they graduate high school. While it would be nice to have everything in place, it is not necessary. The main goal of a summer job is to get experience. Now...
While it would be nice to have a state-of-the-art home theater or a Maserati GranTurismo Convertible in the temperature-controlled garage, it won’t make up for a horrible job. You will spend the majority of your waking hours at work over your...
Many teens want their jobs to be exciting, glamorous and be the envy of their friends. But those jobs only exist on MTV. Or, at least they don’t exist unless you have experience. You can’t get a job as Fashion Editor at Vogue or Executive Chef at...
Thinking back to childhood, I still have great affection for my physician, Dr. Judge. Visits to him never seemed rushed. He always carefully listened to my mother (and me), performed an unhurried physical examination, and patiently explained the...
Today is my final guest blog in this series on asthma. I am deeply grateful to DrGreene.com for inviting me and to all the readers for viewing my posts. I hope you have found them helpful.

I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to Grey’s Anatomy. My dad was a surgeon, and as a kid I really wanted to go to medical school when I grew up. But I couldn’t even get through premed. Advanced calculus undid me. Now I get my medical thrills from TV.

I have always loved to cook. My mom will tell you stories about me going through recipes as a child and making things that I could not even pronounce. She was great at letting me experiment and not trying to control the situation. There was one time...
I’m what you might call an Older Mom. I’m 55, and my kids are in their twenties. I guess they’re now officially “adult children”, out of the house and living on their own. But you know what? Once a mom, always a mom. I still worry about them.
