MidWeek, 29 May 2013 – Where did you receive your schooling and training? I have been a medical physician for more than 29 years since graduating from the University of Utah School Of Medicine. I completed training in general surgery in Los Angeles and plastic surgery in Utah. During my general surgery training I completed a one-year plastic surgery research fellowship at the University of Southern California. I finished my board certifications in both general surgery and plastic surgery, and set up private plastic surgery practice in Las Vegas. I practiced plastic and reconstructive surgery for six years until I underwent cervical spine surgery for herniated discs in the neck. The surgery left me with neck pain and bodily muscle pain that prevented me from returning to the practice of surgery.

The 400-page OAS report, titled "The Drug Problem in the Americas," had been commissioned by Latin American countries at last year’s Summit of the Americas attended by President Barack Obama in Cartagena.

Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 23 May 2013 – Hawaii legislators this year chose not to follow Colorado and Washington state in legalizing marijuana for personal use, but approved a move that has been an obvious path for years: placing the medical marijuana program under the Department of Health. At long last, patients using marijuana to reduce a variety of ailments should expect sympathetic treatment from the agency in charge.
