Retired surgeon & cancer survivor hopeful we can reform healthcare & reduce gun deaths. Don Quixote, wannabe, tilting at windmills, dreaming impossible dreams.

“how hypocritical - and self destructive- we can be when rooting for our own home teams above all else. Blind partisanship is destroying our country.” Jerome Adams TRUTH BOMB from former Surgeon General. Both sides take note.

@DavidAFrench “Meritocracy reigns supreme”

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@shannonrwatts It feeds my optimism that there is an increasing awareness among more and more people who are waking up and realize they have been conned.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@DutchRojas Reinforcing my skepticism that patients and their families can or will ever be able to “shop around” for the best deal/price for their care.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

Thought provoking essay asks 2 difficult questions. The general, what is a “healthy person”? & what needs to be done for a non aggressive myeloma (or DCIS or many prostate cancers)? This is the Vinay I admired raising tough nuanced important questions. https://t.co/yfz43p0fsm

More important knowledge, wisdom and perspective from a dying man, a great man, one of my heroes.

Calling out hospitals as more responsible than the usual scapegoat, insurance companies. A pox on all of them, pharmaceutical companies too. Saving lives providing miracles while costing lives with profiteering. Can we fix this? https://t.co/I6qL99ST7O

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

This takes no legislation. This does not infringe second amendment rights. This simply saves lives, many lives. This simply takes responsible behavior.

@DavidAFrench Not about confidence in Hegseth it is cowardice. Lack of integrity and courage to upset Donald and MAGA base that control primaries.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@conor64 @SwipeWright The left is different too. It is so telling that the right is able to call out the cancel culture, anger and increasing violence by the left unable to see the same on the right. Playing the righteous victim is such hypocrisy.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

It is on each and everyone of us to STOP! OBTW, Can someone explain how loosening concealed carry laws won’t make this even more common?

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

Last night as I packed up to drive home after celebrating both of my grand daughter’s first communion with the TV on at my daughter’s house chaos reigned down as shots were fired as a man tried to run through security and kill people at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

Today the same old accusations, talking points, blame the other side is being repeated over & over essentially guaranteeing this will happen again and again. Hating and blaming the people who don’t agree with our politics, religion or whatever continues and so will the violence.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@KariLake @NEWSMAX @jaketapper Ms Lake, then as you claim Mr Tapper is part to blame, you are too. Just saying, guilty of the same lies and hate and fear from the opposite camp. Look in the mirror.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@fred_guttenberg Important painful reminder. So disappointed as media coverage trots out the same nonsense along with the East Wing ballroom. I have not heard a single talking head on either side mention the dangerous push to allow concealed carry as if that will make us all safer. WTF is wrong?

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@adamcifu Thank you. Agree, very useful information.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@MeghanGurdon Actually not 100%, 87.1%

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@VinnysCorner1 Great clip. Thanks for the smile and happy thoughts. You left out Gibson falling off the mound, the mad Hungarian and there are hundreds more. Just another reason I love baseball.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@EricTopol This scatter plot holds special interest for me as my wife has just completed 6 cycles of chemo and undergone 8 hour “optimal bebulking” surgery with HIPEC for the smallest dot, Ovarian Ca with 50% mortality to incidence ratio.

[Edward T Chory @DrEdMDBFD]

@DavidAFrench I have been doing my best to support my wife as she has undergone chemotherapy and surgery for stage III Ovarian Cancer over the last 5 months. Fully aware of the dismal statistics she has been offered participation in a clinical trial. These stories of hope are encouraging but
