Ann G. Sjoerdsma | Writer, Advocate . . . Always A Work in Progess - Welcome to www.annsjoerdsma.com, one of several places that you'll find my online voice. The others are on Facebook and Twitter. I’m a writer and advocate whose second book debuted in December 2015. My publisher is the indie press, Improbable Books. The title of my book, which I think of as a memoir of medical advocacy, tells you a…

Sjoerdsma - “PROCEED UNTIL APPREHENDED” On the evening of Friday, June 7, 2002, 78-year-old Fern Sjoerdsma lay in a Chesapeake, Va., hospital bed, moaning and breathing rapidly and laboriously. Her whole body seemed bloated, especially her legs. She failed to respond coherently to questions that her daughter Ann asked and acted irritated by her attempts. She was…
  • https://annsjoerdsma.com/about-serotonin/ About “Serotonin” | Ann G. Sjoerdsma - “IT ALL STARTED WITH SEROTONIN” When Albert Sjoerdsma, M.D., Ph.D., arrived at the National Institutes of Health in the early 1950s, hypertension still regularly debilitated and killed people. He resolved to change this. Sjoerdsma had read that the amine, serotonin, when given intravenously to a patient, dramatically spiked his blood pressure. Maybe, the young researcher…
  • https://annsjoerdsma.com/tidbits/ Tidbits | Ann G. Sjoerdsma - Medical news items and events come to my attention that I would like to pass along to you in a brief form. I think of them as tidbits or snippets or what we used to call in newspaper journalism, shorts. Shorts were typically off-the-AP-wire, human-interest articles that fit 2- to 3-inch holes on a news page. In the first newsroom…

Sjoerdsma - Today is my red-letter day: the official release date for my new book, “Parents in Crisis: Confronting Medical Errors, Ageist Doctors, and Other Healthcare Failings.” The book’s publication culminates a journey that began for me more than 13 years ago, on a miserable night when I went head-to-head with a Virginia hospitalist who could not…

Sjoerdsma - I reacted with skepticism and curiosity to the recent news that the late comedian and actor Robin Williams, whose August 2014 suicide shocked and saddened so many, had Lewy body dementia, also called Lewy body disease or LBD. LBD is not a neurocognitive disorder with subtle clinical features (symptoms) nor is it a diagnosis casually…

Sjoerdsma - Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey died this summer at the age of 101. Dr. Kelsey—Frankie to her friends—holds an exalted status in U.S. medical history for what she did not do. You may not know her name, but you certainly know the effect of the action, or more precisely, the inaction, that she took. On the…

Sjoerdsma - I will be drawing from the subject matter of my two books for the focus of my blog: "Our Parents in Crisis: Confronting Medical Errors, Ageist Doctors, and Other Healthcare Failings" and "Starting with Serotonin: How a High-Rolling Father of Drug Discovery Repeatedly Beat the Odds." This gives me a wide landscape, and I may…

    Based on a recomendation from another MP5 semiauto owner, I bought this product and was very impressed with its coating and lubricity characteristics on the carrier and bolt assmebly of my gun. It is the best that I have tried thus far. A little goes a long way!

  • D Rock - The Official FIVB Ball

    Weird at first, but you'll get used to it. Smaller than the original one. The surface has little pores, it feels really weird at first, but an awesome feel to set and pass. Not to mention the bounce it has to it. Hitting straight down has never been this awesome!
