		<title>Racial Disparities in Health Care and Cashing in on Medicare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Goodman had a nice blog post today.  I typically enjoy reading his stuff and recommend it to my readers.
After reading his post linked to above, particularly the very last paragraph just above his signature, take a look at this MSNBC story.
Cheers,
&#8230;Sam

		<title>Hat Tip to Happy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A while back I wrote a series of posts about health care reform and in one I mentioned the system in Singapore as one which we in the U.S. should look at as a good model to work from when considering ways to improve our own.
Well, today the Happy Hospitalist has a post which links [...]]]></description>

Lost Parrot Gives Vet His Name and Address
It made me think of an experience my wife and I had during my medical school days in Jackson, MS.
One day, my wife came home and discovered a calico cat on the front porch of our house.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s your face?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Doctor Sam,
Why don&#8217;t you show your face on your website.  What&#8217;s up with the pictures of the back of your head?
 Sincerely,
Curious 
Well Curious, that&#8217;s a great question.
Other than the obvious answer which is that my face ain&#8217;t all that pretty, it&#8217;s all about preserving the thin veil of anonymity.
I know it isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ask Dr. Sam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Folks,
Sorry it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything.  I guess I&#8217;ve been a bit busier than usual recently.
Also, quite frankly, I just haven&#8217;t had much inspiration.
I did do a brief addition to the disease index with an article on Erectile Dysfunction, but otherwise, drsamonline.com has been a pretty quiet place the past [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Slippery Slope of Drug Addiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I&#8217;d like to touch upon a subject that I think in some way affects us all.  I&#8217;m talking about the continually unfolding disaster of substance abuse in this country.
As a physician, I see the effects of drug addiction and abuse on pretty much a daily basis.  There is hardly a day goes by that I don&#8217;t have at least one [...]]]></description>

		<title>More On Spam (or should I say Moron Spam?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a pretty new blog and I am a relatively very new blogger.
When I started this website and blog, one of my main goals was to simply expose myself to this cyber-world and get some experience and learn a bit about creating internet content.
Many/most of my blog posts have been excessively wordy, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fax Spam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow.  This was a new one for me.
About 20 minutes ago, this came over the fax machine at my clinic.
I know the picture quality isn&#8217;t so good as I took the pic with my cell phone camera, so I&#8217;ll type what is written.
It is a fax from LBI, INC. of Toronto, Canada and was sent [...]]]></description>

		<title>In a Vial, Crocodile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw a sort of neat story on the BBC News website about researchers in Louisiana who are taking proteins from alligator blood and trying to use them to develop new antibiotics.
Other than handbags and good eating, alligators are mostly just a bit of a nuisance in these parts.
I think it would be great if [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a Teenage Wasteland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve mentioned it before in other posts in this blog, and I tell it to my patients all the time.  It bears repeating here.
The overwhelming majority of the stuff I tell my patients when it comes to staying healthy doesn&#8217;t require the letters &#8220;M&#8221; and &#8220;D&#8221; after one&#8217;s name.
Most of this stuff [...]]]></description>
