    We had this discussion in the ng of the below recently. Just one of the
    boys in the choir, "I'm ok you are ok and all of us in the choir telling
    each other we are ok is; well er ah OK". This from another ng:

    Of course, he can't serve the sentence because he has cancer. "Physician", heal thyself?"

    The distinction you make is important, the quack was not a physician, just a quack who killed a
    child and couldn't prevent cancer in himself; both testimonies to the effectivness of his "miricle
    pills" and anti scientific based medicine.

    congestive heart failure and hypertension, and that he was obese when he died, according to details
    published Tuesday by the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper received a copy of the medical
    examiner's report from a physicians group that promotes a vegetarian diet. ... The Journal reported
    that Atkins, who stood 6 feet tall, weighed 258 pounds at the time of his death."

    Dr. Robert Atkins was an MD, was he not?
