Wow. I just happened to turn on the radio while making lunch. I like talk radio. Unfortunately, in the Pittsburgh, PA area, I only get KDKA (1020 AM which calls itself the first radio station) [Plus the right wing just took over programing for the former liberal station and there is no competition].

Kevin Miller is the 12:00-3:00 p.m. host. He also makes himself very available to fill in for other hosts, hence more airtime for him. He states he is an Independent, but spends all his time talking smack about Obama. Well, he got smacked down by the station today! Weeee....

I know this is probably not worthy of a diary, I do want to spread the word though. I did post this information on the open thread, but I don't know how many will see it.

Congressman John Conyers will be in Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday, May 21st. He is holding a public forum to discuss health care reform. He'll be at the Temple Sinai in Squirrel Hill from 1:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Read More

Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act 2005 in Congress

In 2006, the American Cancer Society estimates that almost 213,000 women will develop breast cancer and almost 41,000 women will die from the disease. Treatment advances have provided women with hope, but that is not enough. One surgical option for breast cancer is a mastectomy, the surgical removal of the breast. This has been done as an inpatient procedure and needs to remain one. However, efforts are underway to make this an outpatient procedure. If you know of anyone who has had a mastectomy, then you know this is an awful idea. Due to the efforts of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, outpatient mastectomies (referred to as a "drive-thru mastectomy") are no longer allowed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But that does not help women in other states.

I work in health care and received an e-mail from a friend today. It was a post from a doctor friend who is stuck in the French Quarters in New Orleans. I found it a compelling read from someone inside the story. Find the e-mail below the fold.

This is my first diary and I don't know how to do the bells and whistles that you all do so nicely, so forgive me. Another Kos member suggested a diary so here it is. Read More
