A Visit to the My Doctor's Office - and one by Pelosi to New York

Jack Kemp

Yesterday I went to my doctor's office for a checkup. There weren't any surpises except one in the waiting room.

My doctor has a some health network show playing on a television for patients to watch as they wait their turn with her. One of the video pieces of health advise was given by a young, thin healthy looking woman who was surprised a few years ago while working in a doctor's office and having a physical after an unusual weight loss of ten pounds. She then found out she had type 1 diabetes. She optimistally spoke about what she does to manage her condition and how she now advocates for younger diabetes patients to do active exercise as she herself does. Her apparent, on the screen, normal glowing health and slim build appearance are remarkable.

This next day, while reading a political story that mentioned Nancy Pelosi, I recalled seeing her speak in person when she came to New York's 92nd Street YMHA a few years ago. I wrote in the Aviary at that time that Pelosi mentioned the USDA's approved diet for the general population was a cure all. She specifically held up a hard copy of this diet - and I quote her accompanying words verbatum - "Diet, not diabetes." The thinly veiled implications of her remark were obvious. Pelosi was saying a few powerful things. First is that the government has a prevention stage cure all for diabetes with its USDA food pyramid chart. She was also subtly impling that any Americians who have this affliction must be fat slobs who eat a gallon of ice cream for breakfast and drink a gallon of beer with lunch or dinner, and thus anyone who has diabetes has brought it upon themselves. Lastly, if this is a simple problem that can be solved by merely following the USDA food chart then why should the government do diabetes related medical research when government tax money are needed by people on welfare and government largess is also needed for college women to pay for their birth control pills and to help fund their abortions? You think the money to buy Democrat votes grows on trees?

No matter what the political preferences are of that thin young woman I saw on my doctor's waiting room television screen, I would have loved to see her in the audience at the 92nd Street YMHA that day years ago to challenge, if not confront, Pelosi on her simplistic solution to a major disease that plagues millions of Americans.
