...neurosurgeon who "only does back surgery" be on call to treat head trauma in an emergency department? General surgeons, right now, are a dying breed; their residency programs have failed to fill for the past few years. As the specialists narrow down and lose competence in their "parent" fields, they will necessarily leave certain patients without needed, basic care. It's a serious problem that calls for a nationwide strategy...
...presence in any country is characterized by a long-term commitment regardless of the regime.” Including genocidal dictators. Schlumberger’s presence in Sudan involves providing services to the three largest oil players in the country—China National Petroleum Company (parent company of Petrochina), the Oil and Natural Gas Company of India, and Petronas. Gould told me that his company pays $13.2 million every year to the Sudanese government and Sudan’s former finance minister Abda Yahia el-Mahdi has said that more than 70 percent of the government?...
...Nice to hear from you, John. Now that you've defended your viewpoint so beautifully, talk to more parents and "creepy" teens who are living their lives in pain and look at recent books by Philip Graham, Madeline Levine or other clinicians dealing with teens and their families. Then, to get some real perspective on this, look back 100 years, and then check more than 100 cultures around the world, where, according to leading anthropologists, there is no drug use by teens, no delinquency, and no teen-parent conflict. In most of the world, teens aren't trying to "break...
...statistics look encouraging, but you're missing the larger picture. I'm guessing-and please correct me if I'm wrong-that you don't have much regular contact with parents or teens. I've been having such contact fairly regularly for a very long time (Epstein is the father of four). It's rare for a parent of an American teen to feel calm about the teen years, and many parents are deeply traumatized...
...think you are naive to believe there are societies that have "no" teen delinquency and "no" teen-parent conflict. In your book you cite many pre-industrial and impoverished societies in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere that seem to exhibit low levels of teen pathologies-but so what? Many teens are also starving in these places. I'm sure they don't have time to be delinquent. A defining feature of modern society is that we don't need our young to work, so of course they will screw up more...
