Does anyone know (and can verify) what type of doctor he is? --Daysleeper47 (talk) 13:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am Board Certified in Internal Medicine.

There is one inaccurate item in the article in the Terri Schiavo section. It states that I introduced legislation to " force review of the case by the federal government". This is not true. I did not want to do that and did not do that.

I introduced legislation that allowed for review in a federal court of any case where a state judge ordered withdrawal of food and water where there was a family dispute as to wether it should be done. This was modeled on the current criminal standard where all death penalty cases are automatically allowed a federal review to make sure the condemned's civil rights were not violated. Most reporters missed this or didn't understand this.

My original bill passed The House, but the Senate refused to pass it in that form. They insisted on doing a bill targeted just to her and that then became part of the controversy. Dave Weldon MD (talk) 10:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC) --Dave Weldon MD (talk) 10:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
