You've Got to Be Kidding Me?

Getting breast implants makes you "look smarter?" WTF? Yep, from the Allergan Medical website. But Lauren from Faux Real Tho says it best:

This ad from the Allergan Medical Silicone-Filled Breast Implants (note trademark symbol) is most ironical, since breasts are neither smart, nor do they make the wearer (implantee?) more intelligent. Even more mystifying is that her breast implants, the entire point of the ad, assuming the model has them, aren’t even a prominent point of the photograph. Boobs, smile, smart, boobs, phallic hoodie head, wha?

What’s real smart is going outside of the industry selling you your fake boobs for research into your health, but with my natural funbags what do I know. Silicone implants are most empowerful, and they look so real! Is that a Nobel prize in her pocket?

Looks, health, fake boobs, health, intelligence, health? What is wrong with this picture? Let's hear it for natural funbags, the uniboob sports bra, and carbon-based (vs. silicone-based) intelligence.

Talk about art imitating life. Take a look at the "stupid spoiled whore" south park episode.

Ugh. Dumb dumb dumb. The only smart implant is the one that jumps out of the doctors hand, wakes up the patient, smacks her and says "You don't need these, ask for your money back!"

A System of the Absurd

Charge for wellness checkup blood tests @ St. Lukes Hospital: $1142.20. Amount written off by hospital as negotiated by Anthem BC/BS: $967.20. The insurance company pays NOTHING for this service. Amount patient required to pay: $175 Does any of this make sense? Does $1142.20 represent the true cost of doing the testing for the hospital? What if I had requested to pay cash for the whole thing? Same charge? BTW, my mom's hospital bill (Des Peres Hospital) for her same-day surgery (rotator cuff repair)--ready--$33,000. Not sure what her insurance is going to cover yet, but she was at the hospital from 8 am to 5 pm, and in actual surgery less than 2 hours. Never admitted to a room, just in and out burger style. The surgeon had 8 similar surgeries on the schedule that day. Bonus!

Form and Function

Image
Way back in 2002, I scanned these images by Howard Schatz from Sports Illustrated (October 14, 2002). A fascinating array of elite female athlete physiques, heights and weights, eh? These are some of the women featured in his book Athlete --a very cool pictorial essay that celebrates athletic form and function.

It's About Preparing People, not Preventing Injuries

ACL injuries do not happen in a void. People sustain injuries when their infrastructure is unable to manage a specific set of physical circumstances. To describe the mechanism of the injury without the context of the person and their level/type of sport, is to miss valuable insight. In sport, we prepare the person, to the best of our understanding, to meet the physical demands of that sport. We do not just work to prevent one particular injury; we prepare athletes to navigate the total sport physical environment. By "we" I mean the coaching and support staff -- specifically the athletic development staff.  Athletic development (AD) coaches prepare athletes through the development of physical literacy and movement competencies via movement progressions. It is more than strength, power, agility; it is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors to manage themselves within the entire sporting environment. At the higher levels of sport, AD coaches coordinate wit
