...feeling the buzz. I'd never heard of Johnny, but my patients' had - and people think that sports stars automatically know who the best doctors are. (They are, of course, quite wrong.) It's a tremendous practice-builder to have a few celebs on your roster. It can also be, if you don't watch out, a tremendous ego-inflator.

...that blamed the boy's death on a sickle-cell condition, even though a second autopsy ordered by the state had ruled Anderson died from suffocation (the Justice Department has since announced it will investigate whether federal civil rights violations charges should be brought in the case). "It's wrong!" Anderson's mother, Gina Jones, shouted as she stormed out of the Panama City courtroom after the verdict was read. The Anderson decision was reminiscent of another bewildering verdict five years ago, when three Florida state prison guards charged with stomping 36-year-old inmate Frank Valdes to death...
