Nick, interesting questions as usual. I would love to add something new to the list:

Why do people fail to recognize environmental pollutants are now causing an increase in heart conditions? Also when, some physicians have created a new specialty called Environmental Cardiology?

In addition, why don't people see the correlation between the increasing rate of asthma with heart conditions? Could it be the strain on the heart from untreated asthma could cause a heart attack?

Why do we have to wait for medical research results based on academic standards to treat people with precaution when in a neighborhood, 10 cases may show up as a result of some exposure where people need treatment and it beckons a local hospital, doctors and scientists to look at what is causing the trend? so we can prevent further exposure or spreading of the disease?

What will it take for our hospitals to be the best run organizations on the planet? There are many solutions to this somewhat ambiguous problem, but only with motivation, determination, and grit can it be accommplished. (1)It has always been my personal philosophy that overcoming the barrier of discrimination is the first step towards progress. Look at how far the human race has advanced in just the last ten years in technology and medical discoverise as people became more willing to understand and form peaceful relations with other races. Each race on planet earth has something to give to our overall advancement of knowledge. (2) Learn cooperation. It may sometimes be very difficult to swallow your pride and forgive somebody who has wronged you or your race in the past, but as quoted by the Holy Bible, "Thou shall turn the other cheek". In the great words of the late great MLK, "We will not hate you", Mlk said to the racists"..."but we cannot ...obey your unjust laws...We will soon wear you down by our own capacity to suffer".
