Obama's long-time doctor from Chicago, Dr David Scheiner, is the latest person to bemoan the lack of progress on healthcare reform. He believes Obama isn't acting on his own convictions. But he doesn't want anyone to think this is personal:
Despite his policy critiques, Scheiner's affection for his long-time patient is quite obvious. He recalled the president as being "gracious" and "never pulling rank" when he came to his office. "Part of my shtick is I sing songs and I love humor," Scheiner said.
Christ alive, if any doctor of mine had a "shtick", I'd change doctors faster than you can say "malpractice".
"I remember last time I saw him I told him a joke, he said, 'Doc, you told me that joke before.' I was so impressed he can remember my bad jokes -- this guy has to be really bright."
Either that, or you're a Class-A bore, doc.
