The Showtime channel has announced a "controversial new series" entitled "Penn & Teller: Bullsh**!" The Las Vegas duo "promise an aggressive, irreverent exposé of taboo topics using the duo's trademark humor, knowledge of carnival tricks and con-artistry, as well as hidden cameras and blatant confrontation."Calling themselves the "self-proclaimed pit-bulls of truth," the entertainers will focus on "such sacred cows as chiropractic medicine, TV psychics, Feng Shui and second-hand smoke." They will also be looking at "alien abductions, Ouija boards and end of the world prediction, creationism, the purity of bottled water, global warming, miracle-workers and religious cults." The program will air at 11p.m. and is rated TV14.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
