Keeping Your Sanity and Maintaining Your Morality in a Crazy Corrupt University Setting
KEEPING YOUR SANITY AND MAINTAINING YOUR MORALITY IN A CRAZY, CORRUPT UNIVERSITY SETTING. Philip Ney MD 26/1/11 Sad Facts: 1) Some Christians drop out of university from fatigue. They become tired from trying to fight off doubts and despair. 2) Some Christians with impossibly bright hopes of changing the world can’t deal with the disillusionment. 3) Some Christians dissociate.

OUR LIVES IN THE BALANCE Part II For the Parliamentary Committee on Palliative and Compassionate Care by Philip G. Ney MD, FRCP(C) for Mount Joy College 20/11/10 SUMMARY The Essential Dilemma Unlike any other species, episodically humans seem to want to destroy themselves. They have come close to doing so.

Read MoreLetter to the Editor- Abortion as Medecine
Philip G. Ney, MD, MA, FRCPC, RPsych © September 17, 2007 Re: Abortion as Medicine: Response to Andrea Mrozek’s piece in the National Post Ms. Mrozek made a brave attempt to tackle a very touchy subject but missed some essential features.
