Notes on Independence Day
I thank God daily that I am an American!
That said, our senators and representatives should be ashamed. A pox on both their houses! The fact that they are paying more attention to their base or to their party instead of the people's business is disturbing.There is NO way we can make any progress on deficit reduction without decreased spending AND increased revenue. Neither side gets it.
My book, "Best Served Cold," is starting to sell and getting some good reviews. I really have done very little PR to date.

Republican Debate, Amazon.com
Well, it looks like Mitt Romney was the big winner! I just wish he would say, OK folks, its the economy and nothing but! Drop the social agenda. The country is now too diverse for a group of gray haired white men (sorry Herman) to be dictating our mores. If Bachmann wants smaller government, fine. Let's start by NOT telling us whom we can love and marry, AND what women can do with their own bodies.

Ethics, Heidi St. Pierre
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."

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?
