Doubts…

...so many doubts... ...and they don't seem to make any sense... For those that have been following my ramblings on this site for a while... You know that I have a surgery upcoming in a bit. Those folks will probably also know that I am eager to get it done with, but I am not eager for the surgery and recovery time, as those are always hard on me. I guess surgeries are never fun, and recovery is always a challenge and hard. But I was just hoping that I'd have several more years in between the last surgery and this one... But, I'm not that lucky... […]

A spokesperson for Ryan’s campaign confirmed on Friday that a donation made by (Prof.) #GregMalham had been rejected and his money refunded.

Ryan – a #paediatric #neurologist, #researcher and #professor prior to her political career – said the video was deeply concerning, but not an isolated incident.”

The fact that Ryan worked in the same medical field at the same level (ie: Colleagues) makes this a *targeted* action.
