I know I’ve written about some of our medical trials recently, and I hope I don’t bore you with more. However, after this past week, medical stuff is what I’m most familiar with, so here we go. I’m not wanting to complain, just making observations. I felt I saw the future this past week and I didn’t like what I saw. What I saw was what our National Heal...
