OpEdNews - Articles - Author's Page for Dan Abshear

I'm a writer and an occasional blogger addressing medically realated topics.

I have one ten year old daughter that fortunately resembles her mother physiologically, yet I'm told has my wit and intelligence.

I belong to several health care advocacy organizations.

I strive to accomplish more than I have.

Favorite quotation: "Live alone and free, like a tree, but in the brotherhood of the forest."
