If the patient were Joe Smith, a plumber from Toledo, Ohio

Advertisements [?]

would he have been quickly scheduled to undergo a brain surgery at Duke?

I am glad that Kennedy survived the surgery and wish him a full recovery and long and healthy life.

Of course, the wealthy will always have better health care. But as I heard this morning about the upcoming surgery and possible experimental treatment with a "vaccine," I could not help - hey, I am a liberal - thinking of the Joe Smiths of the world with similar brain tumors who were told to get their affairs in order, that nothing could be done.

I don't know that there is an answer. Perhaps something that we, I, have to accept as law of nature.
