The
beach, sun bathing, surfing, pool parties, vacations and sun, sun, sun -
summer has finally arrived! Thankfully, being a resident of Los Angeles,
we are blessed with warm weather almost every season. Unfortunately,
this blessing is also a curse. That means we Angelinos need to take
extra precautions to protect ourselves all year round, especially during
the radiant summer season. Summer may be a time for fun and games;
however, it also holds risks such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke, skin
cancer, food poisoning and even tetanus. Early signs of heat exhaustion
can creep up on us if we do not stay well hydrated. 
There
are people who are seldom sick most of their life, but then one stroke
can leave them devastated both physically and mentally. The problem is
that most people do not know the signs of an imminent stroke, especially
when we are young and healthy. Unfortunately, stroke is an insidious
disease. In the United States, more than 700,000 people suffer from a
stroke each year.
St.
Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan announced today that patients under the
care of a physician in St. Vincent’s Department of Rehabilitation
Medicine, whether in the hospital or through ambulatory care, will now
have the opportunity to receive acupuncture as an integral part of the
care plan.
