There’s been a lot of activity over at the Sustainability site this week, in large part due to the release of our 1st project bulletin, Sustainability 101: Long Range Thinking for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program Managers. Thanks to everyone who’s sent me lovely comments about the report. Stay tuned, because our 2nd one, on […]

I’m back from the desert and looking forward to a long weekend. I’m going to take part of the day off, so just an abbreviated warp-up (wow, now that’s a typo!) wrap-up today. Because I was gone all week, only a couple things on the sustainability site: A fascinating article about the current freefall of […]
At the IAFN conference last week you probably heard me say this several times: be a demanding and conscientious consumers of education. This might just be my mantra for 2019. If I’ve learned anything from listening to as much testimony as I have this year, it’s that people are going to courses and conferences and swallowing […]

Reading Now (and a Giveaway)
I was asked by an FHO reader if I would talk about what’s on my current reading list. It’s a favorite topic of discussion for me (I love hearing what people are reading), so here’s what is on my list THIS week (it could all change by next week, naturally). Note, I don’t usually have […]
First, let me say, you guys are the best–you flooded my inbox with your thoughts about a fee-based research overview (and peppered the site with a couple comments, too 🙂 ). BTW, there’s still time to provide some feedback and be eligible for the $50 Amazon gift card. Thanks to everyone who has shared their […]
{Note: this post doesn’t discuss the use of social media for professional purposes, only personal ones. We’ll address the professional use of social media, such as crowd-sourcing clinical information, at a later date.} A favorite topic of conversation here at FHO continues to be the use of social media by forensic clinicians. In my travels […]
The issue of Wood’s Lamps and other alternate light sources (ALS) in sexual assault medical forensic exams comes up at courses and conferences regularly, which makes me reflect on how often we do things because we were taught we should, and not because they’ve been shown to be particularly useful or effective. So what follows […]
There’s been little written about TB dye in the peer-reviewed literature over the past 30 years, so I have included all of the research (that I could find) here, along with a selection of text books that include it, as well. Some discuss the utility of TB dye in greater depth than others. As with […]

Since Last We Spoke 4-20-15
Let me tell you, these last several days have been pretty lousy. I really can’t recommend much about this past weekend, and today wasn’t much better, so ignore me and my black cloud, and check out what I’ve been reading since last we spoke instead. I promise–it’s waaay more interesting:
As I frequently mention here, just because something is available online doesn’t mean it’s quality. As professionals we’re obligated to evaluate our sources for scientific information, because in this day and age, there’s an abundance of information out there, not all of which is trustworthy.
Good weekend, yes? Aside from some minor tech failure (hello, brand new router), it was pretty lovely on this end. So I’m slogging away this week, trying to just remember, bird by bird. Occasionally procrastinating with the interwebs, but working my way through the long to-do list. Want to see what I’ve been reading since […]

Since Last We Spoke 6-9-14
I spent more time plugged in this weekend than I should have. When you work for yourself it is so easy to let the left and right limits of your work day week bleed into one another. Or disappear altogether. Either way, too much time looking at a screen. Gotta work on that whole self-care thing. […]
I have had conversations with close friends about some issues around professionalism in forensic nursing, but I had not considered writing about it at any length until I had a frustrated email from an FHO reader who was wondering if I had recognized this problem for myself. Her concern was regarding a colleague’s behavior in […]

Good morning! Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend–we actually didn’t (I worked through the weekend; my spouse had Reserve duty), but it still had some high points (for instance, an excellent meal here–you should go next time you’re in DC, but if you are a meat eater). The good news is my only trial this […]

10 Things: FHO 2013 Gift Guide
Time for this year’s gift guide–some ideas for what to get that special colleague or team member. This year we are going for personality-type rather than the usual generic list. In case you missed them, you can find previous years’ gift guides here, here, here, and here.
Well, it’s hard to believe, but I won’t be stepping foot in an airport for 5 weeks. Just one road trip this week to spend some qulity time with the Army in Charlottesville, but aside from that, my work is all local. Gives me a little breathing room, and some time to catch up on […]

Big “C” Conversations
When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly […]

Mark your calendar: the inaugural Forensic Journal Club is coming up 12 February. Find all the information you need to participate here. This is a busy week for me–aside from significant writing and teaching, I am also prepping for a trip to Sydney, Australia next Monday. It’s a fantastic honor to be the keynote for the […]
I had a request for literature related to TBI & domestic violence victimization, so I thought I would post the lit compilation for FHO readers. As always, let me know if you want the word doc.
