It doesn't matter as long as she feel healthy enough to do her job. What are you doing to save lives? It's so easy to forget about the big issues and focus on the small things.

Hey just joining, glad to be in! I'm Dani and I am inspired by life, I'm a fan of operating and getting balanced :)

Sooo anyways, enough about me, see you around and hello yet again haha.

BTW where is the option to change the time zone for my account? It's kind of weird having the time like 5 hours off lol

The health care issues that Dr. Regina Benjamin Carson is batteling demonstrates her courage in the face of such rude and petty criticism. Would it matter if the doctor who saved your childs life was a large, medium or small? We come in all sizes! It's the Doctor who takes action to rid our communities of substandard healthcare, like Dr. Regina Benjamin Carson who understands what is important to humanity and people needing medical care.

I am very impressed with Dr. Benjamin's credentials, but my God! She needs to practice what she preaches, get on a healthy diet, exercise, and lose the weight! She is a poor witness for health care. Other than that, I'm fine with her.

That's what's wrong with the world now, Too Much Negativity! If there is a problem, the problem would be the who won't give her a chance.

What an inspiring artical! Dr. Regina, I am so grateful for physicans like you. I have a chronic disability and not having access to a doctor and medication can be a life threatening problem. I want to work on a solution to fix the healthcare system in this country. Any insight from your organization would be greatly appreciated. You are setting a wonderful example. Don't listen to the naysayers above, some people will never get it.

Blessings,

MC

What a terrible example for Americans - an obese doctor! Full Speed Ahead on the Obama train wreck!

Congratulations Regina. Not only do I know what a wonderful person you are, now the rest of the world will too. This world is a better place because you are in it. I am blessed to call you friend.
