AMERICAN DOCTOR

VISION

The US can't seem to get healthy and our military is unable to win wars. I seek to help improve our nation's defense and health through education and accountability of leadership through rational, non-partisan discussion. Nothing is sacred (political parties, experts, leaders). Using research, satire, humor, and candid conversation, we can identify both problems and solutions to make America better.

Let's also talk about how individual Americans can take charge of their own health!

VALUES / GROUND RULES

Fellow Americans are not our enemies.
Science/medicine is never settled and can always be rationally questioned.
Country over party. No party has it 100% correct.
Professional integrity matters.
Nothing and no one is sacred.
Talking past each other has to end.
Love over hate.

* NOTICE *

I don't support the pure ideologies of DEI or MAGA. Both are harmful to the US.
Effective 30 June 2025 I disassociated myself from military groups MacArthur Society, STARRS, and Calvert Group. I don't support their MAGA & religious driven views on racism, sexism, numerous phobias, government accountability, and ethics.
