...they're not specialists, they're usually moonlighting docs in their fellowships - someone going into cardiology might know a lot about heart attacks but very little about muscle tears. Tim's subsequent referrals did make this innocence less likely. But it's hard to point the finger of blame...
...grim realities faced by the people in the borderlands of Pakistan and Afghanistan [April 2]. Every possible effort should be made to pacify negative elements there. This requires coordinated efforts by locals, the Afghan and Pakistani governments and coalition forces. Even so, it is mind boggling that so much blame is heaped on Pakistan.

Let's not shirk our responsibility. What's your responsibility? What's your responsibility? I find it to be disingenuous to say, "let's let it all on them when it goes wrong...
