It is mind blowing to consider that the waters from some of the Missoula Floods , also known as the Bretz Floods, were almost as high as the KOIN Tower.  I recommend the book Galcial Lake Missoula and Its Humongouus Floods by David Alt as a very readable description of this remarkable geologic story and it occurred right in our own back yard!

Medical Home model is being touted as one solution, and I believe this would help solve many of the problems discussed today.  However, ir is not yet a payable service so it won't happen until the payers (patients, private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)  decide it is worth paying for.

Most doctors would love it if direct to consumer drug advertising could be banned, but the Supreme Court has ruled that this is free speech and, therefore, legal.

Bill,  So nice to hear from and about a former family of patients of mine, and that you and Lark and your two wonderful kids are all doing so well.  Give my best to all four of you who (my former Madras patients and friends).  Give me a call if you are ever in Portland and we can catch up on old times.

George
