		<description><![CDATA[I just came out of the cath lab after doing an emergency coronary angiogram on a man suffering a heart attack.  He is a youngish fellow (have you noticed how the term “young” keeps getting more generous as you get older?) with no prior heart problems, but with a bad cigarette habit and genes that are not favorable (a father suffered a heart attack at about the same age). We rushed him into the lab and prepped him for the procedure.  As he lay on the table he seemed to &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/door-to-balloon/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Fascinated by science and medicine since he was a child, he grew up knowing he wanted to be a doctor – in particular, a doctor that takes care of kids. A board-certified pediatrician and fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Rolston has been taking care of children for almost 25 years. He mainly sees patients at the Alegent Health Clinic located at 8141 West Center &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/meet-the-doc-richard-rolston-m-d-faap/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Valentine’s Day is approaching.  The store shelves are stocked with heart shaped boxes filled with chocolate.  It is the time of year when the news stories remind us of research indicating that chocolate is a healthy choice for our heart &#8230; but is it really a health food? Let’s look at the facts. What is chocolate? Chocolate is extracted from a cacao bean, and it contains chocolate liquor.  A hydraulic press separates the liquor into cocoa butter and cocoa powder.  Extra whole milk or extra cocoa butter is added to &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/chocolate-the-dark-secret/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Valentine&#8217;s Day approaching, Alegent Health is talking a lot about heart-related issues. Not so much the romantic side of the heart, but issues surrounding heart disease. Bergan Mercy Medical Center is hosting a Heart and Vascular Health Fair on Saturday, February 18th, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. regarding health-related issues. I&#8217;m looking forward to it because I&#8217;ll be there! You might be wondering how mental-health and heart disease are related. I know my last blog was on marriage and relationships &#8211; the other, more romantic  side of heart-related &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/depression-and-heart-disease/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love living in Omaha. Sure, the winters can be miserable (this year being the obvious exception—this global warming thing ain’t so bad, eh?) with snow that falls sideways and potholes the size of national parks in Arizona.  The corn fields can be beautiful in the right light but in my mind don’t quite rise to the majesty of the mountains and red rock of my native Utah.  Worst of all, in my 8 years here I still haven’t converted to the local religion—Husker worship. Still, I love this place, &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/all-men-are-created-equal/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Super Bowl is approaching. It&#8217;s a time to gather with family or friends to enjoy the game, commercials, and of course, food. So, how do you celebrate this yearly event? That&#8217;s the question I asked some co-workers and some participants attending one of my community presentations. As you can imagine, the answers vary widely from, &#8220;I do not watch football,&#8221; to &#8220;I have a good time at a local sports bar.&#8221; Some people also reflected on this date from their experiences with their family. They recalled a fun time as &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/super-bowl-sunday-healthy-choices/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

For our newest Alegent Health Clinic family physician, however, the calling was always medicine. From a young age, Reema Nasr, M.D., says she enjoyed taking care of the people around her &#8211; whether it was bandaging her dolls&#8217; &#8220;injuries&#8221; or supporting a family member with a child in the NICU.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently received a few emails requesting I write about how to have a healthy relationship – specifically a healthy marriage. Long-term, committed relationships like marriage can start out great and, over time, depending on what life throws at us, can become impaired, argumentative, and disconnected. It’s always wonderful to see marriages that have stood the test of time. Why some marriages last and others do not is usually based on many factors including the physical and emotional health of the individuals in the marriage, each one’s understanding of what &#8230; <a href="http://www.blogalegent.com/index.php/2012/healthy-marriages/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
