President Bush proclaimed the years 2002-2011 as the Bone and Joint Decade. Didn't know that, did you? Would that all his proclamations were so benign!
Perhaps of more interest, if you want to keep up with news on over 1,000 medical conditions via an RSS feed, MedicineNet has a deal for you. Add the desired URL into your reader, and you get recent articles from many sources. The conditions can be either general (Daily or Weekly Medical News) or disease-specific (arthritis), and can even drill down to specific drugs (atenolol).
Posted by Linkmeister at January 8, 2004 11:31 AMI'm reasonably sure my Bones and Joints are OK. Can I still be around for the 2002-2011 decade?
Posted by: cassie-b at January 8, 2004 02:13 PMIf only declaring it the bone and joints decade ensured that the govt. was really intending to put money into research re bone and joint problems. My prediction is that it means exactly nothing. Sigh.

He did it for his own knee problem...
Just an attempt to overshadow the Al Franken Decade; even though the AFD was some time ago, it will still be regarded as historically more important than the bone and joint decade. Also-- aren't we supposed to be concentrating our efforts on a joyride to Mars during that time?
Posted by: the talking dog at January 10, 2004 03:19 AMI think Bush and Cheney should be the first ones to go to Mars..
They will probably still be in power when its time to launch..then they can both look for oil..and Bin Laden...
The Bone and Joint Decade, eh? Well, so when is he starting his push for legalization of prostitution and marijuana, then? ;)
(Hee hee hee. I couldn't resist.)
