Dr. Mark Learned the Hard Way: Why You Should Never Quit a Job Without a Signed Offer in Hand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Think back for a moment to when you were a little boy or girl, out shopping with Grandma, and you saw a toy that you wanted. But she said, in a sweet, loving tone, "Honey, if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride." Then she explained what that meant: "Wishing for things does not make them happen."

When an Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Sparks a Panic Move, This Is How Families Can Step In to Protect Both Parents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This story began with a phone call from brother and sister "Lisa" and "Michael," who are both in their mid-40s. Their call was like no other I have received in all my decades of law practice.

A Veteran Pediatrician Explores What the Pandemic Really Taught Us About Kids and COVID (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you had school-aged children or grandchildren in your care during the pandemic, COVID-19 was that nightmare none of us fully woke up from, leaving this haunting question: "What did these past several years — a tsunami of doubt and contradictions — do to our children?" While, historically, it has been virtually impossible to sue a school district for educational negligence — for example, graduating kids from high school who are functionally illiterate — COVID opened the floodgates, leading to
