Occupation	Patient, Physician, and Economist - retired
Introduction	I'm a patient, physician, and economist, retired due to injury and illness. I am not a Democrat and I am not a Republican. I have no party affiliation. I put patients first based on what I have learned being a patient, physician, and economist.
Favorite books	The American Way of Death, by Jessica Mitford, which exposed the funeral industry’s financial exploitation of grieving relatives; Randy Shiltz, whose book, And the Band Played On, exposed the system's lack of response to the AIDS epidemic; and Hillary Johnson, author of Osler’s Web: Inside the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic, which exposed another shameful response of the medical system to a major health issue. I am a fan of Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics: The Manipulation of Public Opinion in America, the book by Michael Wheeler that first brought popular attention to how and why statistics are often misused; the hilarious How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff; and The Honest Truth about Lying with Statistics by Cooper B. Holmes.
