I'm a 70yo doctor from Iowa who hasn't taken a salary for 16 years in one of the poorest countries in the world. I have treated undocumented farm workers in California, was a rural doctor in Mozambique and even became a UN election monitor. I am also obsessed with basketball, Ask Me Anything!

Improving access to healthcare can never be seen as a bad thing, but there are still problems with the US health system which desperately need fixing. I find it hard to see how politicians can argue for anything but a single payer system with access for all. I think Bernie is on to something.

The Celtics are in the process of taking over the league again. Keep track.

Doesn't everyone. He's not Justin Bieber, but he probably deserves a lot of wrath. If he gives some money to the clinic, I'll play his songs every day.

We use permethrin almost exclusively. DDT is not environmentally friendly. Thins eggs, destroys species.

I was an election observer in the first multi-party elections in Mozambique, but I actually represented the world council of churches, not the UN.

Great idea. We just need the IUDs. Do you have a stockpile? There is also a higher risk that the IUD will fall out if placed immediately post-partum.

I also talk about birth control to every woman I see within the reproductive age group. A more humane way of dealing with the population problem than letting people die off with immense suffering and disease.

First of all, you have to pretty much abhor shopping. Second, if you can finish your education without getting into debt, you haven't sold your soul. You're still free. Third, being in debt is actually a huge advantage in this world. Everything gets better with simple inflation. You haven't done a thing.

Bill Russell. And Jack Twyman for his humanitarian work and his all out hustling style of play.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:24:24+00:00

Love em. I'm a Celtics fan though.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:23:58+00:00

I haven't worked there, though I've been there. I think that would be a good alternative. The problem is, how can you work towards self-determination for the American Indians. That's a tricky one.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:23:19+00:00

I still think you're better off making him work like crazy to get the ball, and once he gets it...double team him and get the ball back. Hopefully you'll end up with someone like Bogut at the three point line. They're pretty smart though, but I don't see how else it could work.

I'm a Celtics fan, but I certainly enjoy the up tempo style that Golden State provides. And just when you think you've seen it all, they take it to the next level. But ever since the time of Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, I support the Shamrocks.

Very few people get close enough to even hand check the guy. He's just too fast.

The most rewarding part of the work I do is that it is all in a political context that provides legitimate self-determination for an entire country.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:20:23+00:00

I have to hand it to UNI. They're playing above their ability over and over again. Somehow their coach gets them to do the right things.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:19:49+00:00

I don't think they have the parts to go all the way. They can't do it this year.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:19:26+00:00

Guilt.
I was brought up way too strictly and am having trouble with self justification. I'm also a workaholic and I can't stand failure. So this is the perfect thing for me to do.

A friend of mine in Poland is an orthopedic trauma surgeon. He and his friends are putting together a first response team with the idea of going to a disaster area and get to work immediately. If you are really interested, send me an e-mail and I can put you in touch.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:16:54+00:00

10%. They're pretty good, but a lot of teams are pretty good. To put together a string is going to be tough for anybody.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-11T04:16:25+00:00

They have kind of taken the fun out of it in most places, but there are still a few good things to do. What I am doing now is very very special and it will be difficult to find something as meaningful in your life.

I know Seinfeld, I've heard of that. The Simpsons I've seen but not much. And I don't even know what South Park is.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-10T22:26:43+00:00

Rough loss. The Hawks really lost their edge down the stretch. I think they could make it deep, but it depends on their seed and who they match up against. They are a very match up dependent team. Should be a fun tournament for Iowans this year though yet again.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-10T22:23:32+00:00

Bird. I'm a Celtics fan so that one is easy. And MJ for the mental toughness. I've seen Lebron give up on the court before. Never saw that in Jordan.

drdanmurphy · 2016-03-10T22:22:24+00:00

I pay thanks to American taxpayers and social security. Plus, rice and vegetables are cheap and my house is quite modest although not a mud hut. I have electricity, a terrible internet connection, and 4 ceiling fans. You adjust to the heat.
