M y Dear Brother Nobles; I hope all of you are enjoying a pleasant Spring. I would like to submit the following thoughts for you to mull over in your spare time (if you have any spare time!!) Words of WISDOM to grow older with ! As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that whether we wear a $300 or $30 watch - - - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or $30.00 wallet/handbag - - - the amount of money

inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine- - - the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. - - - the loneliness is the same. You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - - - you go down with it. Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane reaches its destination - - - everyone arrives at the same time. Therefore . . . I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you chat, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth -- that is true happiness! Five Undeniable Facts of Life Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy so when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price. Best wise words: “Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food.” The one who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage! If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together! Six Best Doctors in the World Sunlight Rest Exercise Diet Self Confidence Friends The nicest place to be is in someone’s thoughts, the safest place to be is in someone’s prayers, and the very best place to be is ........ in the hands of God. Chuck Warren Your Chaplain El Kalah Shrine

Shriners Hospital for Children – Salt Lake City Through a generous donation from the Leonard L. and Evelyn Mae Riche Foundation, Shriners Hospital – Salt Lake City has begun using the EOS Imaging System. Developed in France, the EOS Imaging System is a low-dose, 3-D imaging system that scans patients standing up. An EOS scan shows the patients natural, weight-bearing posture and makes visible the interaction between the joints and the rest of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine, hips and legs. EOS imaging uses an ultra-low dose of radiation to provide extremely detailed, high-quality images. It uses a significantly lower radiation dose than a general radiography X-ray. With EOS scans, more informed diagnoses and create individualized treatment plans for children with musculoskeletal disorders. Reduced Radiation Dose Shriners takes every safety precaution and have set the standards for reducing children’s exposure to radiation across all imaging tests and procedures. The EOS technology is yet another tool that enables us to provide the best imaging services while reinforcing our commitment to safety and lowdose imaging options for our patients. EOS delivers a radiation dose that is two to three times less than a general computed radiography X-ray and 20 times less than basic computed tomography (CT) scans. Reducing radiation dose is particularly beneficial for children who need to be imaged frequently, such as children with spinal deformities like scoliosis. Better Diagnostics and Image Accuracy 3-D weight-bearing images of children in an upright, standing position give physicians the most accurate view of the spine and lower limbs. Physicians can better evaluate balance and posture and analyze the bones, joints and ligaments from multiple angles. This type of imaging enables the physicians to view all areas of the body with one image, rather than stitching together multiple images. It gives us an accurate view of the musculoskeletal system that is essential to diagnosis and treatment planning. Shriners Hospitals for Children — Salt Lake City is the very first hospital to offer EOS Imaging System in the multi-state Intermountain West region, including Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico. The Montreal, Portland, Greenville and Philadelphia Shriners Hospitals also use EOS Imaging System. It is a very exciting time at the Hospital with this revolutionary technology.
