Jory Goodman M.D. on January 31, 2014

Freud was right. Twitter has proven it.

Self-Control
Malignant Neglect

Jory Goodman M.D. on August 14, 2012

Contorted privacy rights and political agendas kill more people than guns. When there is no self-control gun control is irrelevant. I see it every day.

Health
Simple Cures, Not Central Planning

Jory Goodman M.D. on April 1, 2012

While there is no certainty, it appears that a sufficiency of Supreme Court justices are skeptical of Obamacare. Starting with an uninformed assumption that the law will be deemed unconstitutional in toto and thrown out, what then?
