Old-Fashioned Caring + Medical Sleuthing - Dr. Aron Blecher at OneHealthOhio

 He listened. And he remembered.

Stunned, that's what I thought to myself when Aron R. Blecher M.D. at OneHealthOhio asked how my adjustment to Northeast Ohio was going. He did that without looking at the chart. There was genuine concern in his voice. Then he took the time to mention organizations I might join which could accelerate the tough making-friends phase. 

This was old-fashioned caring. There would be lots more of it. On a Sunday morning, for instance, Dr. Blecher personally called to alert me, after studying my blood tests, to halt taking Vitamin D. 

In addition to that intense sense of engagement there has been a brilliant practice of medicine. For 40 years I have had a high calcium rate and ineffective treatments. Finally, Dr. Blecher was the one to identify the source and provide a remedy. Then there was the awful day I turned up in the office with "strawberry stains" on both sides of my face. From my own research I attributed it to a severe side effect from a medication. Instead, Dr. Blecher did some sleuthing. I no longer sleep with those pillows. Normal skin tone has returned.

But perhaps the most important blessing has been: I know that I can talk with this healer about anything. That's trust. In Davos this year global leaders at the World Economic Forum discussed how to rebuild trust. I recommend they come to OneHealthOhio in Warren and ask permission to observe how medicine is practiced. 

Complimentary confidential intuitive coaching session. No pressure. Maybe even some lightness of being. Please contact Jane Genova for an appointment (text/phone 203-468-8579 or email at janegenova374@gmail.com)

Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani's March 2021 Cocaine+ Death - So?

   It had been way back more than a year ago that first-year associate at law firm Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani died from cocaine laced with fentanyl. Yet that story keeps resurfacing.  This week  RollonFriday  revisits it. And  Reddit Big Law  considers the issue if the energy from cocaine is what's making possible those 2,500 hours billed in law firms.  Is what's keeping this on the radar the hunch that use of the illegal substance cocaine is common among those practicing law? After all, in addition to being an energy-booster, it provides a nice reward for such hard-working lawyers. Also, they have the earnings to afford it. Most of the rest of gunners have to stick with boozing. So, why not?  The reality might be setting in that the death could simply have been an aberration. Think about it this way: Ghahramani had bad luck in her alleged choice of dealers. Others might be able to exert more scrutiny in overseeing the content of the illegal drugs they sold. The message c

Up-or-Out: McKinsey Raises the Pressure, In Contrast Some Law Firms Ease It through Nonequity Partner Tier

" McKinsey & Co.  warned some US consultants last week they are running out of time to win promotion, raising the 'up or out' pressure on staff as the global consulting industry struggles." - Abovethefold Article in Bloomberg , March 27, 2024 This is yet another sign that once-iconic McKinsey is a professional services firm in trouble. One challenge is overcapacity of manpower. It has also warned about 3,000 consultants about "concerns" regarding their performance.  In addition to the overall slowdown in management consulting, McKinsey faces scrutiny from myriad sources about its client list including assignments with China and Saudi Arabia. There also has been that hatchet-job book "When McKinsey Comes to Town." The most damning aspect of the expose is that former employees dump on it. Posts on the professional anonymous network Fishbowl Consulting aren't optimistic about a turnaround at McKinsey or at other players in that sector. In cont

Down Memory Lane - There Was Actually a Time in When $70k for New JDs Was Big Money

  Let's cut to the chase. The year was 1987.  On a Monday in October the stock market crashed.  Corporate downsizing, made an art at GE by Jack Welch, was purging the system of middle-aged middle managers. Staples caught the wave of accidental entrepreneurs forced out of corporate careers. It created the new category of office supplies for small business. We the purged agonized at Staples about what color business stationary.  It was the worst of economic times, at least since The Great Depression.  Meanwhile, large law firms were getting a lot of attention because they were paying inexperienced law-school graduates starting salaries of up to $70k.  Cravath got the ball rolling on that. The phenomenon was enough to attract a major article by The Washington Post.   The kicker was this: The money wasn't enough for young lawyers to stay with those jobs which they found long in the hours and short on stimulating assignments. Often they were locked into proofreading documents at the
