It’s a combination of the professionalism that Conchetta says was ingrained in her German upbringing, and her street-style perspective.

A fleet of MARTA train cars find a new home in the ocean as artificial reefs
It was a balmy 60 degrees last December when two 55,000-pound MARTA railcars slowly inched off a barge east of Ossabaw Island. The 72-foot-long behemoths, which for decades had ferried millions of Atlantans around the city, edged out like hesitant swimmers over the cold, roiling water. And then they tipped and vanished, plunging 60 feet to the seafloor. The post A fleet of MARTA train cars find a new home in the ocean as artificial reefs appeared first on Atlanta Magazine.

Younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer. But better screening practices can save more lives.
For reasons researchers are still struggling to understand, rates of breast cancer in women 20 to 49 years old have increased over the last 20 years. These troubling increases have shifted the medical community’s approach to the disease. Catching breast cancer early can make all the difference: In localized cases where the cancer has not spread beyond the breast (also known as stage 1), the five-year survival rate for most breast cancers is 99 percent. But as researchers learn more about who gets breast cancer, when they get it, and why, it’s becoming clear that a one-size-fits-all approach to screening won’t be enough. It will take more than a general recommendation for regular mammograms to drive down breast cancer rates: We’ll need methods that help women understand their individual risk, access the preventive measures they need, and get the healthcare they deserve—regardless of how old they are, where they get their care, or the color of their skin.

Atlanta’s Top Docs in their own words: Why they went into medicine, the patients that inspired them, and more
We asked several of Atlanta's Top Doctors to tell their own stories about their journey as a doctor. Several said they decided to enter the profession because one or both of their parents were doctors; one mentioned that as a child, she went on weekend hospital rounds with her father. One of our favorite responses came from a neurosurgeon, Dr. Tyler J. Kenning, who said that being a physician and caring for patients embodies Theodore Roosevelt’s sentiment that “the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” The post Atlanta’s Top Docs in their own words: Why they went into medicine, the patients that inspired them, and more appeared first on Atlanta Magazine.
