the old guy puts ebola in perspective

THE OLD GUY PUTS EBOLA IN PERSPECTIVE
i have stopped reading or listening to anything to do with ebola
man the news can sure beat a dead horse to death

what about the election which is more important
alzheimers disease
cancer
childhood obesity
lack of health care in america in many states like texas
racial unrest
bigotry
immigration reform
immunizations especially flu
etc etc etc
put some of the air time on these things

now to the old guy

my brotherinlaw is
a witty guy
a hit at the family reunions
a retired english professor
a william faulkner expert he is
a writer of poems
a writer of novels
an artist
a carver
a bicyclist
a philosopher
a preacher

an actor he is
he plays a judge in reenactment of a trial in the
old washington state park in arkansas
the original state capital of arkansas before it got moved
to little rock
its about 16 miles west of hope
hope if you remember is where president bill clinton grew up

now the geography is set for this blog below

my brotherinlaw writes a blog which is witty at times as he
tells old stories some i know he makes up
but
this one he writes about an old timer who
has his own view on
this new ebola scare we think we have

wise old man on ebola  

it puts all this ebola stuff in a historical perspective
it does

ebola leader?

EBOLA leader?

where is the leadership in our fight against the ebola virus
why is the head of the cdc doing this

i looked online to see if i could find out
where the leader is that should be leading this fight
someone who takes over and does whats need to be done

all health issues like this are always lead by this person

so i googled it
where is the surgeon general of the united states
who is the surgeon general of the united states

the answer is
we dont have one

wtf
we dont have one

why
the domination is being held up by congress
something about gun control


where oh where is dr koop or dr elders when we need them
how in the heck can this be so political

now i had the honor to work with dr elders when i was a
medical student and resident

she is one fireball of a person
a getter done type

i worked with her in the er where she was a staff doctor that day
we would present our patients to her and come up with a treatment
plan
she also took over a room saw patients made up the exam table
called in her next patient checked them in examined them
then met us to discuss our patient then started all over
made me tired she did

she was outspoken but she did tell the truth
but of course in washington thats not what they want to
hear the truth

it got her fired
i wish she was here now to take over the ebola scare
she would do what needed to be done
and
tell us what we need to hear
stopping all this scare stuff thats going on

yep we need you now dr elders
or someone but its too late to approve the new surgeon general

washington at its not best i would say

now ebola is bad
the fatality rate is high at 50-90%
of course its not as bad as alzheimers disease
with its 100% fatality rate
wish we would all get this excepted about it
and
get congress to fund more research
and
while they are at it they could approve a new surgeon general

we sure need one right now
this is the time when they take over to do what needs to be done
a reassuring figure who is in command

when you meet your congressperson over the next few weeks
ask them about why we dont have a surgeon general

could this ebola thing get worse because of politics
