Chicago = War Zone
Did you know that if Chicago was a war zone, it would be a deadlier one for Americans than Afghanistan. As a Chicagoland resident training to be an Emergency Physician, I am quite perplexed with the current homicide rate in Chicago. Current data, puts Chicago’s homicide rate higher than that of a war zone. In fact, according to the latest data, the number of Chicagoans murdered is two and a half times more than U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan since 2001.
Now with the NATO summit over, the city’s crime is back on the front burner. This past weekend was one of our bloodiest, with 8 killed and over 46 wounded by gun violence. The city tells us the crime rate is down, but what about the homicide rate? It’s sky rocketing! I myself witnessed a despicable mob crime this weekend while at Navy Pier, and was just completely shocked, as were many around us.
What are we doing to stop this?
Fired from Northwestern for speaking up?

Despite being promoted to Valve Director in 2006, Dr. Nalini M. Rajamannan was terminated in 2008 after reporting the use of non-FDA approved, experimental medical devices being implanted in patients without their knowledge.
The doctor conducting these human experiments, Dr. Patrick McCarthy, was testing his own inventions, an IMR annuloplasty device and a Myxo annuloplasty device manufactured by Edwards Lifescience.

This morning, while commuting into the hospital this song came up randomly on my iPod. It ended up becoming my theme song for the rest of the day, and now since I can’t get it out of my head — perhaps the rest of the week!
Love in the lights of an ambulance,
So blue and cold, my pulse is slow.
But your kiss will burn white fire screaming loud.I need you mouth to mouth.
Come here I need you mouth to mouth.
Will you save my life in time? Get over here I need you mouth to mouth.
