FIRST DO NO HARM


After Trump accuses doctors of profiteering, medical professionals push back.

I, like most of us, especially older people have had a lot of experience with Doctors in the last few years. Not that this experience was welcome, illness never is, but when you know that your Doctors are dedicated to your health and speedy recovery from whatever ails you at least you have the comfort of knowing that they have your best interest at heart not to mention their years of education and their Hippocratic Oath:

"First Do No Harm".

The very idea of blaming our first responders, our essential medical workers our lifesavers the ones at the top of the medical food chain, the Physicians, for conspiring against us and compromising our health for financial gain is repulsive to our intelligence.

This reasoning is Trump's MO, how he rationalizes everything, "first, what's in it for me ?".

At this point in the countdown to the election, Trump has panicked and is striking out at everything and everyone in a desperate attempt to rally his infamous base. If you count yourself as a Trump supporter please, for the sake of your own health and that of your family and friends listen to the medical experts, the dedicated Doctors who are in it for your good health not, as Trump says, for their own financial gain.

VOTE on Tuesday, you have the last word, shout it out loud!

WAKE UP AMERICA

 Wake up to the crushing wave of new infections, hospitalizations, and deaths raging across America with abandon. Be honest, we, none of us, are taking this 2nd and more deadly wave of COVID-19 as seriously as we did in March. It was then that we scrambled for home delivery services, that we self-quarantined, that we stopped church, sports, concerts, movies, bars, restaurants, and in-store shopping.  The pandemic slowed and almost stopped in places like NY, NJ, and CT. We stopped seeing our Doctor, delayed elective surgery, testing, and hospital visits. We discovered the ease and efficiency of online shopping and Zoom for family facetime. In a word, we changed our lives to preserve our physical health at the expense of our financial health. Now, what, we're entering the critical winter season when flu hits its peak, the forecast for new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are staggering and we're barely emerging from an economic recession if not a depression. The question rema...

LEAD~MOTIVATE~INSPIRE, THAT'S WHAT A LEADER DOES

                            FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT We're frightened because of COVID and the economy, fair enough, but consider history. The Great Depression and the 2nd World War didn't cause more death than the pandemic, they caused more fear. The difference is, in the 1930s and '40s we had a leader that told us in a calm, reassuring voice that "we had nothing to fear but fear itself. " Fear is a crippling emotion, it causes indecision and panic during times of peril when what we need is leadership that reassures us. Remember when your kids woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares, they were scared to death. What did you do, you held them in your arms and whispered calmly that it was alright, they were safe and had nothing to fear. FDR was the nation's parent he knew that we needed reassurance that we needed that calm, strong voice leading us through a crisis. I honestly believe Joe Biden is that voice and t...

HE WON~WHY?

I read the news, I heard the news, I couldn't believe the news. Joe Biden, Barack O'Bama's Vice President, the Senator from Delaware, the Scranton kid from PA, the politico with 40 years of experience, the guy with friends in Congress, lots of friends, friends on both sides of the aisle, the guy who never gives up, never stops trying, never deserts his friends, that's why he has so many. The guy who never fails to take responsibility for his mistakes or fails to give credit for his successes. The guy who believes in science,  respects the medical profession, and knows that climate change is threatening the planet. The guy who knows that without defeating COVID-19 we'll never rebuild a robust economy. The guy who married a Ph.D. educator who is dedicated to both, his career and her own. Yep, that Joe Biden, the one who has been elected President of the United States with the largest and most diverse plurality in history, over seventy-four million Americans voted for ...
