My votes against the education bill and my votes against the Medicare bill got huge play at home.

Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education medicine and law in journalism literature and art.

The dilemma of modern medicine and the underlying central flaw in medical education and most of all in the training of interns is the irresistible drive to do something anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors in the face of ignorance.

We can't get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can't just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.

My doctor explained that exercise and diet changes might help and that I also might need a medication.

Lifestyle change and changes in diet work faster better and more cheaply than any medication and are as effective or more effective than gastric bypass without any side effects or long-term complications.

A balanced diet may be the best medicine. I was eating too much good eats. But people consider that part of your job you know? Eat. And I do!

The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease cancer stroke diabetes Alzheimer's and many more problems are through healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work.

I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.

Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
