Words to Ponder
We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance. -Eric Hoffer
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow. -Anaïs Nin
Obesity Tsunami
More than half a billion people, or one in 10 adults worldwide, are obese -- more than double the number in 1980. Obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10 percent of U.S. medical spending or an estimated $147 billion a year.
Except for smoking, obesity is now the number one preventable cause of death in this country. Three hundred thousand people die of obesity every year.
