Yeah, a case in point. August 16th, in the David Lazarus column in the Los Angeles Times, during that interview, I raised the issue of doctors not being able to cross state lines and therefore we had a shortage of providers. And that we could have seen many more patients if we had been able to bring them in from out of state.
Well, Mr.
Lazarus subsequently, I suppose, interviewed a lady by the name of Candis
Cohen, who is a spokesperson for one of the state boards of health and she made
the statement which appears in that article in the newspaper tantamount to, if
not the exact words, that we don't want doctors here from places like Texas or
Alaska or somewhere. We have very high standards in California.
Well, the truth
of the matter is, that everybody expects to have very high standards but to
make such a disparaging remark was a slap in the face to medical practitioners
throughout the country and I wonder what Ms. Cohen would have thought if she
had perhaps been traveling through Texas, which she singled out along with Alaska,
and suffered a serious motorcar accident and had her life saved in an Emergency
Room by a Texas licensed doctor. So, the argument just doesn't make any sense.
Let's pause here. When we return for the
second segment of our interview, Stan will discuss how his appearance on 60
Minutes last year unleashed huge international interest in his project and more.
Please join us.
