9/11 – My Beginning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is my personal journey into the world of terrorism and Al-Qaeda. I’ve spent most of today reading and reflecting on my education over the last decade or so. I don’t remember the first time I heard the words Al Qaeda. I don’t remember the first time I ever heard the name Osama bin Laden. I do remember where I was on September 11, 2001. I had been up most of the night taking care of trauma patients, and I was sleeping in that morning. The phone rang, and it was my mother-in-law. She was the S
No Constitutional Right to Clean Water (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What a disaster! What an overwhelming disaster! Mississippi is a state we just don’t talk about. It is almost like, in polite company, you don’t bring up Mississippi or Alabama. It is hard to summarize the overwhelming cluster of issues affecting the Jackson, Mississippi, water supply. A combination of mismanagement, underfunding, poor design, and poor maintenance has left Jackson, Mississippi, without a reliable water supply. All of this culminated in a flood of the Pearl River in August of 202
Can We Talk? Anthony Fauci and the Great American Scapegoat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can we talk? Can we make an honest assessment of the United States and our response to COVID-19? (I’m a physician. I was there!) One of the truly great comedians of the last 50 years was Joan Rivers.

So can we talk honestly about Anthony Fauci? Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institut
Trump Omitted from Official Spain World Cup Photo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Admin correction: Headline and text edited to describe circumstances of photo selection more accurately. Donald Trump is in the middle of an argument, beef, disagreement, with the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez. In my opinion, if I were the Prime Minister of Spain, I would refuse to allow the United States to use our military bases either. It’s the prudent thing to do. The biggest flashpoint occurred when the Spanish government explicitly banned the U.S. military from using two jointly o
PulseNet and Cyclospora (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m a surgeon. I follow infectious disease and public health. This cyclosporiasis made me look up the parasite. I wasn’t familiar with it. I also wanted to dive into how we detect outbreaks. FoodNet and PulseNet are how we detect and track outbreaks. While FoodNet acts as the “report card” tracking long-term baseline numbers, PulseNet is the active “detective”. It is a national laboratory network, coordinated by the CDC and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), designed to detect
