Dear friends
I have been very busy with work, the holidays always bring a rush of new patients to the hospital. Most attribute this to the additional stress people feel during this, OH so Marvelous time of the year. I hope that each of you has had a chance to think about what we are trying to do with the committee on health issues. If you have not really had any time to do anything constructive, perhaps you should simply go to the library and check out Michael Moores movie SIKO. While your at it I recommend you also check out the movie, Maxed Out, Crossing Arizona, and the movie about Enron, called the Smartest Guys in the Room. Each covers a painful part of our American nightmare. It is easy to see that there is a broad theme that runs between these stories, and the impact that they have had on the mental, emotional, and physical health of our nation. It is so important that we continue to build on what was begun with the election of Obama.
I would like to wish all a happy and healthy season.
Lee
