Thanks Mr. Scott,
One of my jobs as co administrator of the Telehealth and E -health list serve
and news letter is that I am observer or social critic of telemedicne and
e-health, About once a week I get  a e-mail telling me about the next great
Vetscape.com or the best portal for you and your dog is Dr Seuss.com.
I guess that is way my health portals book mark is so small.
And yet there are exceptions, Dave and friends down in Carolina, JB from
Hutchline. Bob and friends in Gator country or poor Vince in Texas who is shock
because of Notre Dame Football this year, he will be out of ICU any day.
 Or Joan at WHO or Joan who builds blackboards with band aide,
Early this summer I did a interview with Ace Allen for our news letter
http://www.telehealth.net/interviews/allen.html
Previously he was the winner of Capt. James T Kirk award for boldly going where
no man has gone before.
He is now a admiral and here is why he deserves it.
I have never met Ace in real time, but we talk and e-mail a lot.
He deserves a look and I wish him the best, because he is!
Full speed ahead!
Bob
