Mayo Clinic Health Letter -- What's not to like!

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Aug 30, 2018

I've always enjoyed receiving the Mayo Clinic Health Newsletter email which is a free service and full of useful information and healthy ideas. Not sure why I didn't know they have it online. The online version is even better! More information, easier to read through and always available. There is an annual subscription fee to read the in depth articles but it's reasonably priced.

Check it out!

Real Question: Is there a reason you've spelled TO as TOO?
Sorry, I"m a proofreader.

Welcome @shirleyrawlins, No reason, just checking to see if there was a proofreader out there somewhere to keep me honest. 🙃. Thanks for catching it. I stand corrected and will fix it.

Do you mind sharing what brought you to Connect?

John - You have a great sense of humor as does the one who caught the typo! I hope you don’t mind if I might borrow your response sometime, or a version of it. As you and I both know, Peripheral Neuropathy doesn’t just affect our feet but our hands as well. I often give up on correcting typos and grammar that my spellcheck doesn’t catch or incorrectly changes. I have spent more time making corrections to a post than on my first draft of it. For the sake of time management, I have often deliberately abandoned attempts to correct some things hoping it slips by. But now when people have lighthearted fun (some of my typos have been hilarious), I would love to have a fun response like yours! As for the newsletter you mention in your post in this thread from 5 years ago, I’ll admit I’ve never heard about it! I’ve only been on here a few years and I’m not a Mayo patient, but I’m going to look for it and see if I can subscribe to it. As always, thanks for all the information sharing you provide for us!

Hi Debbie! I'm a big believer in information reuse 🙃 so you are welcome to borrow a response anytime you want. The Mayo Clinic Health Letter is normally packed with interesting and helpful information. The link above must have changed so I will fix it. Here's where you can sign up for the Health Letter if you want - https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/product/healthletter/. I currently receive the print and digital but may just go back to the digital version since it's a lot cheaper.

John, my keyboard/software often types too instead of to. Especially lately. Along with other irritating anomalies. Scan for viruses. There's one in my laptop I can't remove yet.
But take heart that when the rest of us see a typo/spelling/grammar error, we don't care. Most of use are just glad we can type our message.
