Sure, he may make some good observations here and there, but for the most part his articles are one sided and loaded with personal insights into a topic in which he doesn’t have any means of insight.

If someone’s opinions are going to be quoted, then I think they should at least have experience in the area that they are speaking about.

Put an age limit on the ICU and make it nationwide. If you are 75 honestly what business do you have doing in the ICU. You are fricking 75 years old.

He is a 22/23 year old boy with a poly sci degree who has done a couple of internships. Yes, you heart right! He is still doing internships. That is where he is in his career. What qualifies him to discuss these topics? I know for sure it isn't a poly sci degree. Why do you quote someone who has no heatlhcare experience whatsoever.
