- Natural Childbirth
By: John Drew Laurusonis, MD | - I keep a copy of the obstetric bill for my birth and mothers four day stay in the hospital. It was $63.29. Of course it was 1947, but still.

Childbirth is the biggest source of income for US hospitals, and the four-million or so births a year end up costing over fifty billion dollars a year.

- What Is Hospice Care?
By: Caring Editorial Team | - What is hospice care?
Hospice care is for people who can no longer benefit from regular medical treatment and are likely in their final months of life. The goal of hospice is to keep pain and suffering to a minimum, not to cure the underlying illness.

- How A Company Not Using Public Relations Consultants Can Best Handle Its Own Public Relations
By: Devon Blaine | - Since I own a communications agency, you may question whether or not I condone such a practice. Believe it or not, I do. I have seen many small, entrepreneurial companies implement their own public relations programs initially. Then, as they grew, expanded, and sometimes went public, they required the outside assistance of an agency. So it is really to my long term advantage to suggest how a company not using public relations consultants can best handle its own public relations.

- Is Big Soda The Next Big Tobacco?
By: Dorthey | - Critics say that the soda industry is behaving much like the tobacco industry of yesterday: marketing sugary drinks to children, claiming the products are healthy or at least harmless, and lobbying heavily to prevent change.

However, the "average" American drinks about 50 ga ...
