A Health Information Management professional, I survived a life-threatening emergency with information that only a person of my professional experience would know. And I’m sharing it!
Here's some fun information about why it's good to kick back, let your thoughts wander and maybe focus on nothing at all for a bit: An Idle Brain is the Self's Workshop
Empowering, huh? No need to be alarmed when you choose to stop focusing on your aches, pains & problems so you can recharge your batteries.
Here's what happens as a result of security theater at the Orlando airport:
You wait in line at least twenty minutes There's a scrum of pushing and shoving The staff are unhappy and not afraid to share it An unreasonable workload leads to fatigue and errors People miss their flights
Here's what doesn't happen:
Security is not increased Peace of mind is not enhanced
In other words, we're paying a significant tax (time and money) and getting nothing in return. In fact, we get worse than nothing.
We could call it an anxiety program, instead of a tax. (After all, when you pay a luxury tax, you get some hard-won luxury as part of the deal)...
Think about how much you could get done if you didn't have to pay a tax to amplify or mollify your fear...
Readers, here's the medical lesson in all that for you: Fear imprisons you. You can't make progress at improving your medical situation or emotional life. And I know how you can STOP Paying that Fear Tax!

They solved some of their financial and emotional problems. They simplified their schedules and coped better with stress.
How?
They followed up on the suggestions and information I teach and wrote about in
Star Trek's compelling character Seven of Nine had been kidnapped from her murdered parents as a child. Forced into losing much of her human identity so that she'd become an obedient robot hellbent on destruction, she ultimately decided to reclaim and to further develop her better nature. She recovered her potential for decency, compassion and healing one determined step at a time.

Smart Apps (i. e., applications on digital devices such as smart phones and websites that remind you what to do and when) make news and fun feature stories. But I'm going to level with you: I rarely err when I predict future trends. And I predict that Smart Apps will eventually turn you into one wondering human when the power goes out. Possibly into a person who's sicker than necessary.
Today's Technology can
help travelers to cope
with health issues on the road and even before you leave.
BUT travelers and
stay-at-homers
need to take PROPER health precautions.
If you're traveling to
far-flung locales or
stay-cationing in your
own back yard, you
already know of
global fears about
blackouts regarding
excessive power
demands and/or
terrorism.
Total reliance on
electronic devices
isn't wise. A good back-up plan perhaps,
but not full coverage
of your medical needs.
I advise you to invest in paper and pens or pencils. Markers are nice, too. But be sure to note your medical must-dos on low-tech paper products as a sensible back-up Plan B.
Photocopies of your eyewear, other medical appliances plus medication prescriptions, instructions for your medical behaviors (exercise regimens, nebulizer usage etc.) and other necessities should be part of the notes you make and guard carefully.
When the power goes out, and it will one of these days, you'll be healthier for having protected your non-digital interests long before the new crises affect your neighbors and fellow patients.
UPDATE: On another tact, I'm worried about Facebook Places, a new online resource about medical establishments in local communities. I fear it will backfire as a milestone for healthcare social media. At first blush it seems like an opportunity for information overload, lawsuits regarding defamatory statements, and mass confusion. The pendulum will swing towards low-tech solutions once people realize that the Internet complicates life.
