Medical Notes

If Asia wants to avoid three million people dead from a flu pandemic, they need to change the way they handle birds.

We have the best medical system, don’t we? I used to think so, but not since I discovered that more than one third of the patients in this country receive the wrong medical care.

To paraphrase Woody Allen, my blood belongs inside me. For that reason I’m not going to Brazil anytime soon. Isn’t President Bush supposed to go to Brazil this weekend?
