Wonderful presentation in DC at the @AmCollSurgeons Leadership & Advocacy Summit by @ShanKalmeta! Oregonians with Medicaid have significant denial rates for ventral hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction. Improving access to surgical care is necessary. #OHSUHernia

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work. John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

Not that long ago. Often history is glorified rather than used to learn and grow. Let’s not make the same mistakes.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
