This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

He is a highly regarded cardiologist who practices out of by OldIrishFan
Thomas Jefferson Medical Center in Philadelphia. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. I seem to recall he was featured in Notre Dame Magazine some years back. He would have taken Chemistry 115,116 with Emil T Hofman joining countless others who went on to be doctors. I believe Emil T even had two Nobel Prize winners that he taught. In fact, one of them got a B in his course. When the individual came back to be the featured speaker at the annual Emil T Hofman lecture he was awarded an A by the great man himself citing lifetime achievement as the justification. Emit T sent many prospective pre-professional students to the business school. Organic Chemistry usually was the impetus for the rest to give up the dream of a medical career.
