surgeon in iraq stands alone among accounts of the iraq war unlike other authors chris coppola has chosen to focus on the two issues that transcend all conflict our mortality and our sense of morality writing with poignant honesty he illuminates the well worn generalizations of war with trenchant details recounting stories about american and iraqi individuals who must bear as well as care for the often tragic consequences of combat you will never again look at the iraq war or any war for that matter in quite the same way dr pauline chen transplant surgeon and best selling author final exam a

death deception and dishonor iraq i am very happy for such complimentary feedback and i would love to hear any and all opinions from others posted by chris at 20 10 no comments 03 september 2009 a lot of people have asked my opinion on the recent round of health care reform and i have to admit i don t have much confidence that we are going to get much done the way i see it everyone debating health care has made up their mind before coming to the table and is shouting their opinion so loudly they can t hear the other side i see images of people on medicare a government health plan saying that government health plans would be an abomination and should not be allowed to exist http www nj com ledgerlive index ssf 2009 08 health_care_reform_town_hall_n html i see citizens holding vigils and protests and opponents pay no heed or accuse them of greed http www lasvegassun com news 2009 sep 03 supporters hold vigil health care reform at one protest an obama supporter actually bit off a man s finger http www google com hostednews ap article aleqm5haklgsynutx4lzuqhcc2zushxqygd9ag37b80 fortunately the man s health care was paid for by medicare i honestly don t think all of the shouting will amount to anything but the truth remains that is our american way we debate our country s business in public and every voice no matter how stubborn or ornery has an equal right to be heard i bet we would have a plan in place already if we were in a country where policy could be enacted in secret but that is not our way for my part what i think we need to decide is if we believe that we citizens have a right to the benefits of health care or if it is a privilege for those who can afford it day after day i take care of children regardless of whether they have insurance or not everyone who works in an er in this country does the same it s kind of hard to achieve the inalienable right to pursue happiness for ourselves and our children without health i ll bet most americans feel this way about themselves and their families it isn t too much of a leap to listen for a moment and realize that our neighbors feel the same way we do and we should pull together to make sure no one gets left
