Book Review-The Family Fang

“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” wrote Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina, and when you think about it, a lot of novels are about these unhappy families. The Family Fang is told from the viewpoint of the children, Annie and Buster Fang.  Their parents are performance artists who like to create public scenes as their art, such as having a fight with the waitstaff in a restaurant, sometimes filming the "art" so they can show it later.  For their entire lives, Annie (or child A) and Buster (child B) have been part of the art, but as they grow older they realize that not everyone lives like this and perhaps they don't particularly enjoy it.  As they become adults they simply refuse to participate, until one day they learn that their parents have disappeared. The book examines how parenting, or not, can affect the adult lives of children; what exactly constitutes "art"; freewill; and becoming your own person.  I enjoyed the quirkiness of the story.  The ending was satisfying, not something you figured out half way through the book.  Altogether, this was an interesting, fun book.

Safe Medication Use

Millions of people benefit from FDA-approved medicines. However, when medicines are not used correctly, they can cause serious injuries or even death. With the number of Americans using multiple prescription drugs growing each year, safely using medication has never been more important. Follow these four steps to avoid common medicine mistakes:

1.Read the Label. Before you take any medicine, read the label. It should show: The list of ingredients. If you know you are allergic to anything in the medicine, don’t use it. Ask for a different medicine. Warnings. Read these carefully, and take note. The expiration date. Do not use a medicine after the date on the bottle. It may not work as well.   2.Keep a Record   Make a list of the medicine you take, including vitamins, and keep it with you. Things to write down: What is the medicine’s name? How much should I take? How long should I take it?		Share our infographic! The graphic lists four simple steps you can take to promote the safe and proper use of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Visit our infographic page to see a larger image and learn more about safe medication use or flickr   for even more sizes.

 

3.Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your medicines.

Good questions to ask are:

• If I forget to take it, what should I do?
• Should I take this on an empty stomach or with food?
• What problems should I watch for?

4. Avoid Problems
Medicines can cause problems or side effects, such as sleepiness, headaches, or rashes. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects. To avoid problems:

• Organize your medicines.
• Don’t skip taking your medicines.
• Don’t share medicines.

Interesting Facts about Medicine Use

• Eighty-two percent of U.S. adults take at least one prescription drug per week.
• Twenty-nine percent of U.S. adults take five or more prescription drugs per week. 
• U.S. spending on prescription drugs reached $234.1 billion in 2008.

 You can help promote information to help keep women and their families safe: share our infographic, watch the video, and download our publications related to medicine use.
