Michael Douglas’ Cancer Sheds Light on Disease and Treatment Options

I recently posted a guest blog by Dr. Robert Spies, an Arizona plastic surgeon, who discussed Michael Douglas’ throat cancer.  To see that full article, click here.   Dr. Spies performs many reconstructive surgeries on patients who have head and neck cancers. 

Before someone like Dr. Spies can reconstruct the patient, a specialist focusing on head and neck surgery, removes the cancer. In Arizona, one of those specialists is Dr. Glenn Rothman.  Dr. Rothman is one of very few surgeons who use a new technology to remove cancer.  This involves robotic arms and 3-D technology.  ABC News recently featured a very interesting story on Dr. Rothman.  Click here to see the full story. 

Both Dr. Spies and Dr. Rothman have been voted as “Top Docs” by their peers in Phoenix Magazine.

What is Lady Gaga’s Personality Type?

 

Since Lady Gaga is coming to the U S Airways Center here in Arizona this weekend, I thought she might be an interesting person to talk about in terms of personality type.  In the book It’s Not You It’s Your Personality, my daughter Toni Rothpletz and I wrote a chapter about Myers-Briggs testing and gave some examples of personalities with certain personality types.  I recently read that Lady Gaga is an INFJ.  We mentioned a few celebrities in our book that also have this type, including: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lance Armstrong, Dan Aykroyd, Richard Gere, Woody Allen and Billy Crystal.

For those of you unfamiliar with Myers-Briggs INFJ stands for:

Introverted/Intuitive/Feeling/Judging

Myers-Briggs.org defines INFJ personalities are those who:
“Seek meaning and connection in ideas, relationships, and material possessions. Want to understand what motivates people and are insightful about others. Conscientious and committed to their firm values. Develop a clear vision about how best to serve the common good. Organized and decisive in implementing their vision.”

The “I” in her type means she likes to think before she speaks.  The “N” means she is intuitive and is obviously creative.  The “F” means she makes her decisions based on her values.  The J means she is not really spontaneous but likes more structure. 

The good news for those of you who are thinking about attending the concert here in Phoenix is that since she has a “J” in her personality type, she’ll probably be on time!
