The New Surgeon General
Barack Obama has appointed a new Surgeon General.
Has he made a mistake in appointing someone, who if they may not be clinically obese, are definitely overweight? In my view, yes!
The article in the Telegraph has this paragraph.
Sarah Reed, another family doctor, who said she kept her own BMI at 19, said: “I am disappointed that Dr Regina Benjamin is obese. Obesity is the number one problem in my own practice and I make it a very high priority to lead by example. Although her credentials speak for themselves, her weight cannot be overlooked. Shame on her!”
I’m the same weight I was when I left University in 1968. That helps me to stay pretty fit, even if I’m struggling at the moment with my foot injury.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
