Clueless at the time, when I applied to medical school, I imagined myself one day making house calls, good ol’ Doc Schwab, paid in chickens and pies, smiles, and blackberry jam.

Potentially life-saving but less dramatic is removing a malignancy that, untreated or treated later, would likely have killed the person.

Trump and Trumpism should be shown the door, wiped off the map, sent packing. The danger he represents is great. However, in wonderful America, it will be a squeaker, a close shave. Nip and tuck.
