When I was in 7th grade (names changed to protect the innocent), my buddy “Brad” had just dumped “Jennifer” and wanted to pursue “Angelina.” Naturally, for the average 7th grader back then, winning her a gold chain from the BB-machine gun shoot at the fair and giving it to her at school was the obvious move. (Y’all know. The one next to the Gravitron) After a bajillion flying BB’s, all our money, and resisting the urge to get the Def Leppard black mirror, our boy Brad was able to give Angelina a FLY gold rope chain. Ladies, you know where this is going…Angelina proceeded to wear Brad’s love offering and in two days, the skin of her neck was Incredible Hulk GREEN! Romance, over.
Why does this happen? Why did Junior High love have to end this way? First, let me say, you girls who have experienced this should be honored. You’re as gorgeous as Lady Liberty! More on that in a second…
No, ladies, you were not turning into the Hulk (no matter how mad you got). A simple chemical reaction called “oxidation” happened. And it occurs naturally in a few instances. Number one, the cunning and corrupt culprit is COPPER. You see, most precious metals are not pure. Most would be too soft to hold together, so they have to be mixed with another metal into an ALLOY. Copper is the easiest in most cases to use. Dr. Kirk Simple: Any gold less than 24 karat is gonna have a significant amount of copper. Copper, when exposed to oxygen/carbon dioxide/sulfur to name a few, naturally “oxidizes” and thin green layer of copper oxides/sulfides called a “patina” forms. This green film is harmless, so don’t worry. And usually easily cleaned in the shower or sometimes needing the acid of lemon juice, vinegar (Dr. Kirk Tip – ketchup! Try it. Works crazy well) or the burly base of baking soda.
As some of you recall, the Statue of Liberty is made of copper. Thirty-one tons of it from our fancy French friends, in fact. And guess what being out in the weather did to her over time? That gorgeous green!
“But Dr. Kirk, it happens to me with just about ALL jewelry! What’s wrong with me?” Relax, Angelina. One of three things is occurring: your Brad is buying cheap jewelry (the less copper content the less chance of green!), your environment is too warm and humid (which speeds up the oxidizing process), or your skin may be more oily than others. While this is not dangerous, it sadly makes you more prone to metals oxidizing faster against your skin. Your Dermatologist can sort you out. So, I guess, your options are fairly simple: dump Brad and find someone buying better jewelry, move to a dryer area, or learn tips from Derm on how to manage the beautiful oily skin God blessed you with. But one thing we can all agree on: we all know Brad was better off with Jennifer anyway, right?
Yours in Health and Christ, Dr. Kirk

Most of you reading this are the CSI generation, seeing mysteries solved with marveling technology and wonder. Old folks like me were raised on Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mysteries (even older folks, Sherlock Holmes). My generation thought of crime scenes fairly straight forward: let’s dust for prints! Unfortunately, in my adult life, I had my bow stolen from my truck and I asked the officers if they were gonna see if any prints were left. You’re welcome, Officers, for the OBVIOUSLY much needed laugh you indulged in. That’s not reality. Yes, in certain instances, such a compelling method for case cracking CAN be commissioned, but not typically. I know. Poo. Sadness. But it brings us to our topic today “Are finger prints unique like we thought?”
Fingerprints (compound word, although sometimes written separate for no great reason) are the dermal ridges seen on the tips of your fingers that are formed in the womb and act as areas of grip, for all the fine touch activities God intends for your life. And while recent studies, using AI, have found many “similarities” in the patterns, they are as distinct to you as your DNA. Heck, even moreso. Identical twin studies (yes, people who share the same DNA down to the chromosome) have differing fingerprint patterns! Because of this fact, fingerprints have become a biometric identifier used by governments for centuries. However, like dental records, these are only as good as the database that collects them. If you never submitted your prints, you aren’t in the system. *Please don’t use this as permission to go on a crime spree; remember CSI will find your DNA in a bo**er you just sneezed. A recent study out of Columbia (again using AI) found that we can find up to 77% identical prints from one person’s finger to their other – meaning, for example, your first finger may be very close to your third finger. To put it another way: the piggy that went to market, may look a lot like the one that had roast beef. Which brings me to another question I got “do toes have unique prints too?” Yes! But not as pronounced. In fact, prints are not the only thing we can uniquely identify people with. The aforementioned dental records are highly accurate, but again are only as good as the database. One’s outer ear contours are very unique for a person. As well as, your iris (the colored ring of your eyes) and retina are unique. These are just not as readily gathered and logged as fingers. One study even purported that a human’s a**s (yes, that) is as unique as a fingerprint. Experts, however, all agree that the booking desk at the jail is already as awkward as they want it to get.
In summary, God made us unique snowflakes in several demonstrable ways. Leave your prints and Nancy Drew is gonna get you! *If you know who Nancy Drew is, make sure you take your Metamucil today and maybe an ibuprofen.
Yours in Health and Christ, Dr. Kirk

A GIANT 'thank you' to Shawn Killi and my brothers and sisters at the Hazlehurst-Jeff Davis County Fire Rescue for this honor. But as humbled and grateful as I am, please know the gratitude is ALL from my end. Thank you for allowing me to serve. I can't express enough to people that anyone who takes on the responsibility of being a First Responder is a HERO. Period. Full stop. None of us in the medical field could save a life if brave souls didn't charge directly into danger to remove people from certain death. I will always stand up for and stand with y'all. Cheers and God's Mighty Hand upon y'all always.

***ATTENTION: COACHES, ADs, TRAINERS, ETC. ***
(not just JD, all my surrounding counties brothers and sisters)
If you are practicing, conditioning, training in this current cold snap, the emphasis on proper warm up, stretching (both dynamic and static) and cool down should jump to the TOP of your priority list! Frankly, GA athletes bodies aren't well acclimated to this temp and it's perfect weather for pulling hamstrings/quads! Remember "kids will behave the way adults allow" so how serious your student athletes take this CRUCIAL part of training is a direct reflection of YOU as their leader. :O Please SHARE this post and let's keep our kids happy and healthy!
Yours in Health and Christ, Dr. Kirk
