Doctors undergo a lot of training in order to diagnose, treat and heal their patients. But there’s one “missed opportunity” a neurologist believes should have more emphasis.“Doctors are not trained in communication,” said Dr. Adina Wise, a neurologist at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York.The traditional model of medical education goes from undergraduate to medical school.“There’s really an emphasis on learning the foundational concepts, but also on a lot of memorization, so that you can essentially regurgitate that information for exams,” Wise said.Then there’s the time spent in clinical situations to gain that experience, but Wise said there’s no room in the current model for opportunities for physicians and future doctors to “really take time to hone in on the best ways to communicate both with the public at large, and with patients.”Wise called that a missed opportunity that is being better taught to studen...

You need a little luck once in awhile.”Eugenio Suárez followed with an RBI single to right field, giving the Mariners a two-run lead. Then, Rodríguez, on a double steal with Suárez, scored from third when Boston catcher Connor Wong threw to second base. Rodríguez now has a career-high 27 game on-base streak, the longest active streak in MLB and Seattle’s longest sin...

DENVER (KDVR) -- Teresa Grasmick started driving for Lyft in July to save a little money for an upcoming vacation. The last thing she thought when she signed up for the job is that she'd become the victim of a scam. "They could have told me anything to get my adrenaline, going to get me to give them that information," Grasmick said. Back on July 21, she said she had just dropped off a passenger at Denver International Airport and got a ping that another rider requested a ride leaving the airport. But she said when she made it to the pickup point, they never showed up. “Then I got a text message from a specific number asking me to call them saying they were Lyft,” Grasmick said. Colorado pay growing at one of the highest rates in the nation Grasmick said she called the number that she believed was Lyft. “They told me they got a report that I was smelling of alcohol or my vehicle was smelling of alcohol and they were going to disable my app while they verified some information on m...
