The rent is always out of reach in capitals.

Stumbles in the handling of the Ebola crisis and the Islamic State
have fueled speculation that President Obama may shake up his foreign
policy team.
United States Politics and Government; Ebola Virus; Epidemics
"Ultimately,
of course, the administration’s crisis management reflects the
president. Mr. Obama, several officials said, came back from his summer
vacation on Martha’s Vineyard frustrated that the White House seemed
reactive to events, and instructed his staff to shift its response into a
higher gear. Yet he remains deliberative, methodical and not swayed by
outside criticism. His
blowup during a meeting on the response to Ebola two weeks ago was the exception rather than the rule, they said.
“We’re
managing a multiring event, and I think reasonably well. I would say
very well, if I were not trying to be a little bit studied,” Ms. Rice
said. “We’ve got a lot of balls in the air, and frankly, they’re still
in the air.”"

Doctors make mistakes, but they don’t like to talk about them,
writes Susan Gubar, who suffered from medical mistakes made during
surgery to remove ovarian cancer.
Malpractice; Ovarian Cancer; Surgery and Surgeons
The relationship of surgeon and patient should be improved at all stages.
I am not in a position to change the relationship.
Surgeons adopt the attitude that patients are an ever renewed supply of meat.
It is a defense of their humanity.

The refrain from Republicans is a stopgap between two politically

policies to address it.
