Georgetown Porcher Patrick Deeneen asks “what’s wrong with this commercial?”

He wasn’t able to wait very long before volunteering his answer. But before you peek at his answer, let’s try another one. What’s even wronger with this commercial?

Hint: The only medical malpractice case I won for a client involved a small-town doctor who didn’t “palpate” the ribs and abdomen of a traumatized patient (because of revulsion at her obesity, we hypothesized) who was bleeding to death internally from exactly the injuries that a physician trained in trauma would expect. His examination might as well have been a cheery “Hi, Ellen!”

Anyone here use Skype? My daughter-in-law is an immigrant. For 10 years, she only “saw” her grandmother occasionally via Skype. Grandma flew to the U.S. 8 days ago. Guess which my daughter-in-law prefers?

Nothing against Cisco or Skype, but reality is better than virtual reality most of the time.
