I will be posting my splits on Twitter (if it works) and at Flap's Dentistry Blog.
He certainly has helped me in dealing with many complex oral surgery procedures.
If you are a dentist look up Dr. Murph on Dental Town or take one of his one on one courses at his office.
Of Course, Dr. Murph does more than tooth extractions as the video from his office describes.
Now, I hear that Obama is backing away from a "public option" over concern for the federal deficit.
Is this Obama's way out of his nationalization of American private health care? Or more obfuscation?
Disarray is a kind term.
The LEFTISTS know what they want (government run health care) and the American public is NOT buying it.
Something will have to give.
Stay tuned.....

| What's the Prognosis for Obama's Health Care Plan? Posted: 04 Aug 2009 07:00 AM PDT The health care reform plans pending in the U.S. Congress would cause more harm than good, according to a study released today by internationally renowned economist Dr. Arthur Laffer. "Health care reform along the lines proposed by President Obama and currently pending in Congress would render U.S. citizens poorer and their federal and state governments sorely pressed for revenues," Laffer said. "But just as important, these reforms are not a cost-effective way to expand health insurance coverage, one of the primary goals of reform." According to Dr. Laffer, legislation that provided an additional $1 trillion in federal health care spending would increase health care costs and medical price inflation, slow our national economy, and still leave 30 million Americans uninsured. |
| Is Twitter necessary for physicians? Posted: 03 Aug 2009 07:00 PM PDT Twitter has captured the mainstream imagination, with celebrities and news organizations embracing the medium. Will Twitter soon be an essential tool for medical practices? Twitter is a social media service where users can communicate with one another in 140 characters or less. More doctors are using Twitter to connect both with patients and other medical professionals. Some hospitals have "live-Tweeted" surgery, to great fanfare, allowing the public a peek into the operating room and giving them an opportunity to ask the surgeons questions mid-procedure. Other doctors use Twitter to communicate with patients. Generally not to give medical advice, but to guide the public to reputable sources of information, or share breaking medical news. The CDC, for instance, uses Twitter to provide constant updates on H1N1 influenza. |
| Study: Kids Aren’t Getting Enough Vitamin D Posted: 03 Aug 2009 06:58 PM PDT The vitamin D drumbeat continues today, with a pair of studies that suggest millions of kids aren't getting enough vitamin D, and that low levels are associated with health risks in adolescents. Nine percent of children and young adults between the ages of 1 and 21 are deficient in vitamin D, and another 61% have "insufficient" levels (higher than deficient, but lower than what's desirable), according to a study published online today by the journal Pediatrics. The study was based on data from more than 6,000 kids tested as part of a federally funded health survey conducted between 2001 and 2004. |
| In rural America, skepticism of health care reform Posted: 03 Aug 2009 06:57 PM PDT Don't tell Dorothy J. Tenorio that Washington is nearing a deal to improve her health care. A former grocery clerk, Tenorio's been scraping by on disability benefits for more than a decade. The 60-year-old, and many of her neighbors, are skeptical health care overhauls pending in Congress will change much in Colorado's rural San Juan Valley. "I would tell Congress, they need to get out here to Huerfano County and see how bad it is, see what we're living with," said Tenorio, who suffered a neck injury in 1979 and hasn't worked since 1996. |
Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters now at least somewhat oppose the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, while 46% at least somewhat favor it, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
This marks the first time that more voters lean against the plan than support it. Just two weeks ago, 50% were for the reform plan, and 45% were opposed.
