Queen "To simplify what I was saying, it's unethical to diagnose people we've never met from far away." I have a friend who is a retired doctor. One day we were playing golf. He said to another doctor in the foursome "Don't you think William Rehnquist has anaplastic carcinoma." A month or so latter that information was in the press, At Rehnquist's funeral I notice Sandra Day O'Conner was shaking quite a bit. I said to this doctor that he was right about chief justice Rehnquist and I had a question for him about O'Conner. He said you mean the fact that she has Parkinson's. I said yes that was going to be my question. I see nothing unethical in doctors expressing their professional opinion about public figures. As to Brinker I am sure you have noticed that callers will start out by giving him a series of facts. He will then ask the caller a question that was already covered when the caller laid out the facts. This behavior is evident on Moneytalk just about every show. I have been wondering about this for a while. It could be something as simple as a hearing problem. But their are many other possibilities such as ADD ADHD, Alzheimer's senility etc. It would be interesting to see what a doctor really thinks is the issue is here. It makes me wonder if Dr. James is serious about senility.
