If your feet could talk, they’d tell you there’s a lot more to keeping them content than the occasional pedicure or foot massage. (Then again, if you’ve stepped into the wrong shoe today, they may already be screaming.) Those 26 small bones in each foot can take a lot of abuse, carrying your body weight while being cooped up in a hot, confining, and often uncomfortable (although occasionally supercute) stiletto. And even one little blister on your big toe is enough to leave you wincing. To the rescue comes our guide, packed with all you need to choose the perfect pair for everything you do. Don’t go shoe shopping this fall without it!

OK, admit it: You’re more likely to be up on the hot new nail polish color (it’s gold) for fall than you are to know what kind of arch you have or the mechanics of how you walk. But how your feet are built has a lot to do with what kind of shoes you can comfortably wear. Here’s what you need to know. Read More

Help Fight Ovarian Cancer
September 26, 2008
Four in five of the thousands of women who will develop ovarian cancer this year won’t survive because the disease won’t be found early enough to save them. That’s where you come in. By helping fund ovarian-cancer research—which goes toward developing an effective screening test as well as finding a cure—you can make a dent in those statistics and help more women stay alive. Some or all of the proceeds from sales of these products go toward beating this devastating disease. Read More

Danger at Your Doctor’s Office
Botched diagnoses. Drug errors. Lab results gone AWOL. We investigate why people are more vulnerable than ever to physician screwups—and reveals how you can protect yourself.
September 15, 2008
In 1999, Susan Sheridan’s husband, Pat, went in for surgery to remove a tumor in his neck. After the surgery, the neurosurgeon gave the Eagle, Idaho, couple great news: The mass was benign—a fact the neurosurgeon confirmed after looking at the pathology report two weeks later.
“Little did we know that the pathologist had been conducting ongoing stains on the tumor and had released a final pathology report 21 days after the surgery,” says Susan, now 48. “It said ‘malignant sarcoma.’” Cancer. But the Sheridans never got this critical update because it was mistakenly filed away at Pat’s doctor’s office without the physician or patient ever seeing it. Read More
Urgent Care Center Alert!
September 15, 2008
They’re convenient, but are urgent care centers (UCCs) safe? The main risk is confusing them with emergency rooms, because they’re not equipped to give lifesaving care, says Nancy Elder, MD. If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, vision loss, or the worst headache of your life, go straight to the ER. But there’s a more insidious danger in using late-night and in-store clinics: You aren’t getting continuity of care. If an after-hours ailment sends you to a UCC, let your usual MD know so she can update your chart. Read More
