...consider that nearly every patient who has a big hip or knee operation will run a fever for a while afterward. No one really knows why. But let the computer pick up the temperature elevation and make me address a pull down menu that includes "fever of unknown origin" and I have to add a diagnosis to the patient's chart that often means a bigger payment - though the only treatments for this fever are being given anyway...

Although he is considered a Raulista, Rodriguez remains a relatively unknown entity in the Castro hierarchy. As experts like Mora point out, it's too soon to tell if Raúl chose Rodriguez with a proactive U.S.-Cuba mission in mind or simply to have a professional but nondescript bureaucrat warm the Foreign Minster's seat. Raúl already consults a small core of foreign policy veterans on U.S. policy, including Jorge Bolaños, Cuba's de facto ambassador in Washington, and Fernando Remírez de Estenoz, one of Cuba's most respected diplomats...
