John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, rips his former boss:
“What can I add that has not already been said? A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them…
A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about…
A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.”

a medicine that makes technology firmly subservient to human values, and maintains a creative balance between generalist and specialist. These I believe to be the aims of family medicine.” McWhinney, 1975
“To restore the primacy of the person, one needs a medicine that puts the person in all his wholeness in the center of the stage and does not separate the disease from the man, and the man from his environment-...
