My comment was in response to the sentence about asking your doctor what he would do for the his family in the situation described and that he would answer honestly. I am sure he would want to-i know i want to-but decisions have been influenced by and even made by some people who, in my mind, are practicing medicine without a license. This is nothing new at all-just more pronounced now. Not trying to start any heated discussion-just stating what I have seen in over 45 years of medical practice. Doctors, including myself, are having to make decisions on care that are influenced by many things that were not prevalent when I first started. I am not trying to turn this into a political discussion-just stating some changes that i have seen in medical practice over a long period of time. Each individual can decide for themselves whether this is for better or worse.

Thank you. My comment was poorly phrased and probably not appropriate for this thread.

That's fine-did not take it badly at all-just felt I also should have expanded a bit on what my meaning was. I will not try to bore everyone here with anecdotes that explain what I have had to deal with on a daily basis over the past few years. Suffice it to say that often my hands are being tied and my decisions governed by things that should be left for my expertise and experience and training to decide.

Tony Gwynn. I can't find a linked story but it's all over Twitter. He just signed an extension 4 days ago to stay on as SDSU's baseball coach.

I just saw a tweet that stated the fact that Starlin Castro has more career strikeouts than Tony Gwynn had...pretty amazing stat that Tony Gwynn only struckout 434 times in 20 years.
 
Re: He's dead, Jim.

Some amazing facts

Against Atlanta's big three he batted .381 with three strikeouts.
Against Maddux he was .415 with zero strikeouts in 107 career at bats.
