Articles Where I've Posted Comments

"Op-Ed: 'I'm A Doctor. So Sue Me. No, Really.'" (Talk of the Nation, Nov. 2, 2009)
My comment provides links to evidence about how doctors harm patients to defend their personal career standing. My username and image there link to my profile, where my comments on that site are collected.

"The Fear Factor" (On The Media, Oct. 30, 2009)
My comment (#21) addresses children who disconnect after medical trauma and how illness heals, as the program brings up autism.

"Stochasticity" (Radiolab, June 15, 2009)
I describe how a physics experiment has shown that a person's consciousness affects how another thing acts.

"New Baboon" (Radiolab, Oct. 2, 2009)
I comment on how alpha male influences have dominated procedures and laws in some cultures.

"A Very Lucky Wind" (Radiolab): I comment on how similar waves of energy in physics can co-incide, which amplifies the waves, creating events people view as coincidences.


"'I feel like I'm in jail'": beneath this Star Tribune article, some people commented on guardian abuse. My comments are under username "irenesee" on comment pages 6 and 7. I don't know comprehensive details of the life of the woman who is featured in this article. However, when a woman is a peace-loving, constructive, caring whistle-blower, is it character defamation for authorities to tell the public to regard her as though she's some kind of social problem who requires special treatment? Is that treating her unfairly, unlike any other person who walks around in public? How excruciating is it to endure character defamation on a large scale for a long term?

"Drug company paid MN doctors $754,127": beneath this Star Tribune article, I posted a comment entitled, "Psychiatric Drugs Endanger Public Safety."

How many doctors are habitual users of prescription drugs who, like many addicts in denial, are driven to positions where they can get and push drugs?

Would a federal health blog, where doctors and patients posted and recommended treatments (and explained how problems were overcome), help to more fully enable informed consent? (Comment #100)

"Days ahead will tell whether Obama's health care pitch swayed lawmakers and the public" (Star Tribune article)
My comments: "Who can get overpowering organizations out of private health choices?" and "How do insurance companies treat veterans and cultural values?" (irenesee, comment pages 36 and 38)

"Real Men Get Prostate Cancer" (The New York Times, Nov. 18, 2008)
My comment, #102, provides links to: information from studies of herbal treatments that have counteracted prostate problems; discussion by a doctor on how cancer screenings can harm patients; and research showing how cancer cells become healthy when surrounded by healthy cells.
