Again, I totally agree and that's a great idea David! I'll ask Mary-Ev straight away. Thanks loads! Have you seen your picture on the photo section. I cropped the Toronto pic just a little and also tweeked the wonderful PIG bus pic a bit. Hope they're OK. Agree with the sentiments. Also, is the Toronto photo showing an exercise or a real patient. If it's real then I ought to blur the chaps face out so not to breach confidentiality. Tried to do it last night but my photoshop would save it for some reason. Will sort it ASAP. We definitely have to get some twinning of TRB and Dermanities going. It's a great site you've got there. Would love to write something for you journal after this intensive weekend on call. Hadn't yet recovered from our hospital comedy show that we did at the beginning of the week. Was totally knackering but well rewarding! Cheers!

Please tell Mary-Ev that Ben Barankin and I would love to see her "rejected" article. Dermanities was formed because the "powers that be" were censoring the medical literature - the end result is that so much of it reflects the mercantile interest of the pharmaceutical industry. Robertson Davies wrote: "More humanism and less science; that's what medicine needs. But, humanism is hard work and so much of science is just Tinkertoy."
Btw, we do not take an author's copyright - the piece will still belong to her.
Cheers, DJE

Yeah, totally agree. I just want to thank Mary-Ev again for all her hard work and enthusiasm over the project that wasn't to be. T:H:A:N:K:Y:O:U! There'll be other times I hope. Mary, if you ever move magazines, please bear us in mind ;-) Can I just take this opportunity also to say that this ------> http://www.londonsinfonietta.org.uk/home/home.html ---- will probably be one of the best nights in the world on that particular date! Went to the one last year in London and it was sensational! Syed, you have to start building that tunnel under the Atlantic!

Awww... Disappointment prevails. We came so close - and yet now so far. We really need some more publicity of some kind, but currently I am unable to think properly. Anyone got one of those planes that pulls banners across the sky?

Maybe we should get someone to write a story about why the story was pulled. Then we should write a story about that. Then a screenplay...then Hollywood!!! 'RightBrain - The Movie'......'RightBrain Revolution'......'TheRightBrain Strikes Back!' I think I'm almost serious.

Wow, that is such a tragedy. Feel somewhat flattened and fizzled out. Partly because I'm so tired I can hardly think (PS: I'll reply to the other great messages recently when I can think!). I really would love to know why they pulled the story? If someone's already done so much work for it like Mary-Ev had, why would new editors choose to just disallow it in the magazine. Surely there would have been many many people who could have benefitted from knowing such a site exists. Am I wrong? A place for right-brain-suppressed medics/healthcare workers to let off a little creative steam in a wonderfully healthy, preventing emotional/spiritual burn-out fashion. I don't really understand.

nevermind, you can delete the TIFF version.....Mary-Ev just e-mailed me and told me that the article has been cancelled....due to a new editorial staff not wanting the article to be published. What a load of RUBBISH!

Dear Graham and Paul,
TRB is a great site!! Congratulations on entering the toddler stage and on a fascinating classy job. I am Ben Barankin's partner in crime - we work on a journal which he described in his ms. The key to these ventures is getting the word out. We would love to have an editorial by either or both of you in a future Dermanities (500 - 750 words)- that way, our readers could hear about TRB. Blow your own horn! Yeah! Virchow had a wonderful saying - "In our journal, anyone can make a fool of himself." In my opinion, the standard medical literature is stodgy and boring (and meretricious). It is driven by people who either have slept too long with the PIGs (pharmaceutical Industry Giants)or just can't see beyond the value of a case report as a means to beefing up their curriculm vitae. Richard Smith is a possible exception. Not sure how Ben found your site - but I am fortunate to have had him direct me there.
All the best,

Congratulations on your 1st birthday!
Also, I think your readership/viewership may be interested in a new online journal entitled Dermanities (www.dermanities.com) which is dedicated to the humanities and social sciences as they pertain to medicine. Although there is some emphasis on Dermatology, the website/journal has the purview of all of medicine.
We welcome submissions of humor, poetry, personal reflection & essays, history of medicine, and more. Check us out at: www.dermanities.com
Keep up the great work at the Right Brain, and may you have many more successful years!

Seeing as you passed the first year landmark, I figure that now is a good time to ask for royalties. 'Orchard' must have had at least a few plays by now. As for the party, Auckland's Viaduct Harbour is quite 'happening' nowadays, and public transport is improving all the time.
Congratulations on the one year mark. The site looks more than jolly.

It is indeed our 1th Birthday. Happy balloons! Much cake and coloured strings to us all! It is of course only right that we should celebrate this annual occasion with a large party where big music and stuff can happen. We'll keep you posted. Oh, and please don't forget to look at the "News" page.

happy bird-day Right Brain!!
and in regards to that film "Gambling, Gods, and LSD" i've been asking around EVERYWHERE here in Chicago to try and find it and have had no luck at all.
although, everyone seems fascinated with the film after i ask about it....i'm working on tracking down a copy to watch....i'm intrigued by it.

PPPSSS::: Also, on the subject of films and weird chemicals, seriously wanna see a film called "Gambling, Gods and LSD". Read a review of it in the Guardian and it just sounds like it could be phenomenal. It's an audio/visual-type film about the moments of transcendence present in our everyday lives...read more at this link...www.daysofthunder.net/gamblinggodsandlsd.htm .......if anyone knows where it's out, please, please, please let me know. Enough from me tonight, good night!

Better check 'em out...not sure I wanna feel like a crack addict though! Although I'm sure it's lovely. (sarcasm - for those of you reading this instead of hearing my inner dialogue) I remember my Dad watching it one Christmas and raving about it. The first film I think. Also remember seeing loads of speeded up, crazy, life, world, industry-esque footage. I think that's where my curiosity about Philip Glass came from. Hmmmm. Anyway.......

yeah, it was one of those Qatsi movies.....Nasoquatsi or something wack like that.
dunno about the movie though...it was full of electronic visualisation, but it was hard to watch hours of it........i think 30 minutes would be been cool, but it was too long and left me feeling like a crack addict afterwards...LOL

Was it 'The Hours' or 'Koyaanisquatsi'? Haven't seen either but would love to see a film where he does the choons. 'Piano Solo' is a quietly sensational album.
