Published on Yahoo! Voices today as Dr. Maryellen Smith

New article today

As you may know, in another life, I write articles for Yahoo!  They are published either on Yahoo! Voices or Yahoo! Shine.  Today an article was published that I have been working on for a while.  I have experienced a dreaded EDITOR.  However, I do think it made the article better.  The article is entitled Uterine Fibroids and Fertility.  Here’s the URL:

New Articles on Yahoo

I have been writing again!  Here are a couple of new articles on Yahoo! Shine:

Second Trimester Normal Pregnancy Body Changes

http://shine.yahoo.com/second-trimester-normal-pregnancy-body-changes-184800894.html

What happens if you have fibroids and are pregnant?

http://shine.yahoo.com/happens-fibroids-pregnant-184800830.html

Note that I also updated the articles list to make it more readable, I hope.  If you have any suggestions for changes, let me know.  Also, if there are any medical topics you would like to have written, please let me know. 

New Yahoo! Voices Article

Published today

Heart disease in women is different than in men.  We don’t have that crushing chest pain – like an elephant sitting on your chest.  To find out what the symptoms are, check out my new article:

How to Recognize Heart Disease in Women

http://voices.yahoo.com/how-recognize-heart-disease-women-11007384.html?cat=5

published today on Yahoo! Voices.  That explains why I was clueless about that shortness of breath and fatigue.  It wasn’t a heart attack, but it is serious heart disease. 

We have it under control.  It fooled me for a while, though.

I hope you learn something.

3/15/12 See comments for problems with the URL.  I'm working on it.  Laser.
Later same day.  Fixed.  When I back spaced to put the URL all on one line, the computer deleted a 1.  Fixed now.  Try it again. Thanks for pointing it out.

Dr. Maryellen Strikes Again

I’m trying to keep the medical articles separate from the blog.  But a doc’s gotta do what a doc’s gotta do.  So, for those of you who like to read the medical stuff, I will put links to my medical articles as they are published, and add them to the page on the right.

Today’s article (just published) is about placenta previa.

http://shine.yahoo.com/know-placenta-previa-214600179.html

It is published on Yahoo! Shine.

Articles Written with a Different Pseudonym

I have just about finished a new page for this blog.  It has links to all the articles that I have written in the last couple of years as Dr. Maryellen Smith.  There’s even an article explaining the pseudonym.  (http://voices.yahoo.com/10-interesting-things-know-5367813.html?cat=37 )  You can locate the page in the right hand column of the blog under “pages”. 

The most popular article has been “15 Things I Learned During My Triplet Pregnancy” with over 23,000 page views since it was published. 

There are articles that were published on other Yahoo! sites that I am still trying to find links for.  As I find them, I will add them to the page.

There is also a link to the community page which lists all the articles and has summaries of each one. 

Enjoy them.

If you have any suggestions about the page, please let me know.   

Assignment Follow Up

I had some editorial changes to my article.

Did you know “Mom” and “Dad” are NOT proper nouns and should not be capitalized?  They are in my world, but I yield to my editors. 

I also had some issue with the indent dots when transferring from word.

I had to insert an image.

Here it is:
