What about the spate of poor choices we have seen in the press of late? Congressman Weiner says he is guilty of no crime- I propose a fine for terminal stupidity. King Carl XVI Gustave of Sweden is caught in a strip club scandal-A Swedish Berlusconi? A former FCC commissioner who participated in the decision to allow Comcast to buy NBC/Universal leaves for a job with Comcast. That creep, John Edwards still suffers from ethical blindness. Doctors used to follow the precepts of Hippocrates, now they appear on TV advertising Restasis, Pradaxa and other drugs. Not to mention Goldman-Sachs or Lehmann or the horribly infected and affected Bank of America. The old doctor wonders WTF is going on?
Heidi St. Pierre is the mother of Ricky St. Pierre-the anti-hero of my newly published novel, "Best Served Cold."

Memorial Day, Bud Jacobs
Today, Memorial Day 2011, I'd like to honor my fellow veterans. I know that you feel as I do, that it is an honor to have served this-the greatest country on earth!

Joplin,NY Times Op-ED
Of course when I wrote of Topeka and tornado damage, I meant to write of Joplin, Mo, but had a senior moment. That does not lessen my pain when I look at the photos of the town.
The New York Times had an op-ed today that showed how some expensive treatments whose effectiveness is not fully substantiated by medical evidence is costing medicare billions. It is time to revisit payments for many of these high-cost, frequently performed procedures. Are my fellow physicians merely lining their own pockets, or can they submit verifiable evidence that the procedures they perform are really necessary. Remember your oath- primum non nocere ( first do no harm.)
I am also following closely the proposed Vermont law which will provide health insurance for all. I will be interested to see how it will be funded. Once again will New England lead the country?

Topeka, Lizzie Smith
I guess the world did end, after all for some of the folks in Topeka. The devastation is beyond belief.
I can not imagine Hartford or St Francis Hospital reduced to rubble as was St. John's.
I am planning to self-publish my novel, "Best Served Cold." To do this I must upload the completed novel to amazon and also their affiliate, createspace.com. Stay tuned! I am hard at work on a sequel to BSC. It is as yet untitled.
Lizzie Smith is a young woman who is one of the central figures in my crime novel. She has been sexually and physically abused by her stepfather, and is key to the blackmail scheme that he conceives.

AT and T Voicemail
So last week we received a letter outlining AT and T's new voicemail system. My wife and I with 4 college degrees among us couldn't understand the letter! Also the guide to the system that was supposed to be enclosed in the envelope, wasn't! So, to solve the problem, we switched our service to Comcast. Just press *99- where's the easy button?
My book is now completely edited, copied and typed. I have appointments with three literary agents in a few weeks. Ready to cast George Clooney and Laura Linney for the movie!
