Doctor David's Blog: My name is FDA, and I approve of this message
http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-name-is-fda-and-i-approve-of-this.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. My name is FDA, and I approve of this message. As the new year begins and election season accelerates, we will be hearing phrases like that more and more.

Monday, June 18, 2007. Who am I and why am I here? My name is David Loeb, and I’m a pediatric oncologist. Whenever I say that, I’m reminded of how people introduce themselves at AA meetings. Unlike being an alcoholic, being a pediatric oncologist is not a problem, really. You might think so from the looks I get when I meet someone and tell them what I do for a living. “You do what? 8221; “That must be so hard! 8221; “How can you do that every day? How did I get to where I am? Posted by Doctor David.

Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Fishing, and the Kindness of Strangers. The ability of the internet to catalyze spontaneous events is not limited to Rickrolling. I want to tell a story of the power of the internet, and how it can harness all that is good in people, allowing total strangers to reach out to someone in need and do something special. I don’t know anyone with a fishing boat. But I do have accounts on Facebook. Posted by Doctor David. December 23, 2009 at 8:07 AM. December 23, 2009 at 8:22 AM.
