I just got home from my yearly gyn exam. I’ve been going to the same wonderful women’s clinic for over thirty years. As I was on the exam table waiting for my doctor to come in, I noticed an empty chair in the corner of the room. I had a mental image of Obama sitting in that chair with his clipboard, ticking off Yes or No, Approved or Disapproved, to each of my doctor’s suggestions.
Personal, private medical decisions are hard enough as it is. It is a sacred dialogue that exists between a physician and the patient. The two of them must come to an agreement and meeting of the minds as to which avenues to pursue. Should I take the bone density enhancing medicine? Should I use any hormone therapy? What is best for MY body, Doctor? We don’t need a know-nothing interloper like the Feds sitting there in that office.
