New show on The Learning Channel
For all of you that have cable tv and get The Learning Channel, Starting on Monday of next week they will begin broadcasting a new show called Big Medicine. I'm looking forward to this and I'm hoping to glean more information and help out of it also. It will be on Monday evening sometime. I look forward to watching it and seeing what goes on.
Let the words of my mouth and meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord my strength and my redeemer.

TLC's new series Big Medicine follows the journeys of individuals undergoing gastric bypass surgery at the weight loss institute developed and created by Dr. Garth Davis and his father Dr. Robert Davis in Houston, TX
Garth and his father perform gastric bypass surgeries on individuals weighing from 400 to 1,000 lbs and even those that have had botched surgeries. His team also includes psychologists to help individuals after they undergo the life-changing surgery, dieticians to teach the patients healthy ways of eating and sex therapists to help patients who are now finding sexual interest from other people after having been ignored for so many years.
Along with the remarkable weight-loss stories that will be witnessed is the turbulent relationship that exists between the father and son team. True to the old ways of medicine, Garth’s father hates to be questioned and finds many new techniques to be too flashy and unnecessary.
The new-age Garth practices yoga and meditation much to the dismay of his father. Even while operating on patients, the father/son team will argue, each supremely confident that their way is the right way. With the patient’s success as their primary goal, they must compromise and come to a common ground on how best to treat the patient.

"Because we do not know when we will die we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your life that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise, perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems so limitless."
