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!

CHAOS REVISITED

  " a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order." Isn't four years of this enough, seriously? The constant media drumbeat, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, dominating the headlines, the news shows, and our conversation. This did not happen by accident, this was a calculated strategy by a certified narcissist. "Narcissism:  a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others." The Trump supporters say that "this is just Trump being Trump" that, my friends, is precisely the problem. Now that he's lost the election and his sycophants in Congress have replaced their horns with silence, if not acceptance, wouldn't you think the man would suck it up, acknowledge the inevitable, exhibit a modicum of humility and devise an exit strategy that would highlight his accomplishments not feed his  addi...

PLEASE GOD, SAY IT ISN'T SO

Pause. Breathe. BY MARIA SHRIVER   It’s okay not to be okay today. I certainly wasn’t okay when I went to bed. I hit the hay way too late. I ate way too much. I bit off my nails. I didn’t have the evening I thought I was going to have. It felt reminiscent of 2016 at times. It was a total roller coaster. (I'm writing this as the election has yet to be called.) I know most of us are waking up feeling confused, sad, angry, bewildered. Most of all just exhausted. We’ve all been through a lot, and while we have been through it together, we have also all gone through it in our own personal way. It’s brought up so much for so many, so go easy today.    Put your hand over your heart. Feel it beating, close your eyes. Breathe.    Honor yourself for making it to this moment. For having made the effort to make your voice heard, even if you didn’t get everything you wanted. Honor the fact that you stepped up. You were a part of history. Think about that.    For me...

IT MUST BE SUNDAY

" Life is like a river, if you cannot let go of the past, it will drag you down the stream.” ―Amit Ray I've Been Thinking... A few months ago, I was talking to a friend of mine about life when he said to me: “Maria, if you want something new, you are going to have to first get rid of the old. It’s the only way to make room.” Damn, I thought. Ain’t that the truth? One of my big New Year’s resolutions for 2020 was to clear out the old in every area of my life. I had made a promise to myself that this would be the year I would take a hard look at how I was living my life: my beliefs, my attachments, and all my stuff. I started sorting through things from my office, things from my time as First Lady of California, things from my parents, things from my kids (do yourself a favor and do not save all of your kids’ school things like I did), and so many other things that had found their way into storage when life got the best of me. In fact, I was already in the thick of shredding, di...
