The Doctor Gets V.I.P. Treatment

Before I knew it I was getting the V.I.P. treatment: given a private room, sent for a lot of tests, strapped to a cardiac monitor overnight and visited by several consultants and the hospital president.

An Open Letter to Tim Cook

Dear Tim,

I know we have never met so I apologize for the first name basis. If it helps, I’m a stockholder? I have a simple request. Please develop an app that prevents texting and driving or, allow us to access Textecution. I have no financial interest in any of these apps but people are dying and you are worrying about 3rd parties controlling your phone. I love my IPhone but, am going to have to switch. I know the three IPhones in my house won’t break the bank but others will follow. It really is a matter of life and death.

Sincerely,

Michael Boyle
