  • Awesome .. I like him better already.

• Orthopods have never been known for their academic brilliance. An old medical school joke: how do you hide a $100 bill from an orthopedic surgeon? Answer: put it in a textbook.

  • There are two qualities necessary to be an orthopedic surgeon. Be strong as an ox and twice as smart

• “by promoting conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s health, including speculation that she’d had a seizure or a stroke.”

  Did you see the video of Hillary freaking out in front of a bunch of journalists? Or her being dragged into a van after she left the 9/11 memorial ceremony? Looked like something was very wrong with her…

  • She wanted to die in office…now she’ll have to settle with Rykers…

• How a doctor can be affiliated with a group that publishes bunk theories is beyond me but apparently fits in well with the other know-nothings in Trump’s Administration.

  • Talk about journalists reporting from within a bubble. I work as a nurse in a large medical center … and I have yet to meet ONE doctor who did not have a major beef with the ACA. (And the issues are not always what you think. Many are angry that their ability to provide free health services has been in effect outlawed. They felt good about the money (and red tape) they saved both the patient AND the taxpayer.
