THIS IS A REVISED/EDITED POST FROM ONE OF OUR ESTEEM MEMBERS "NAL" WHO POSTED IT AT THE END OF 2018. I THOUGHT IT'S TIME TO REPRINT IT FOR EVERYONE TO "GIVE TILL IT HURTS" THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK, GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD HUMOR.
Prostate Cancer does not care about your ethnicity, your creed and it does not wait for you to be old so that it still can be called Old Men's disease. It destroys not only lives by taking them, but destroys and creates enormous hardships on those left, on family units, and, on our God Given granting to be able to Love. Oh, I hate this disease for the havoc its sows’
So, I thank you, with all my Heart, body, mind and Soul, to those that have given to Malecare, as they are just not another soldier in the battle, against Pca. They need the assets that every platoon needs when going into battle. So, I ask that you give to this wonderful organization---> Malecare.
Those that will give, take heart that it will be returned to you in some manner, unknown as how or when.
Shalom [Peace]

I thank you, my wife thanks you, my son thanks you, my mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my ex-wife thanks you, my blow up doll (Dolly) thanks you, my writer's thank you and my fans thank you. And of course NAL thanks you....
Just a kid, never forget when my mom sent me to the corner deli, my heart would pound when next in line to order, used to stutter, NEXT! - kept being pushed aside.
But, but...but...but...but...
Overcame the stuttering and nailed the menu board, the start of my successful consulting career!
Healthcare software domain, so, CDC, NIH, National Cancer Institute, Departments of Public Health (State Epidemiologists), CMS, Private Payers (health insurers), Hospital Systems (EHR), Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ACS) systems, Clinical Research applications and what started it all, Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) with Clinical Device (Instruments FDA part 21) software development.
I've become compassionate in healthcare industry standards implementation, like HL7 messaging and standardized coding (ICD9, ICD10, CPT, LOINC, RxNorm, NDC, etc.) adherences. And worked on Health Information Exchange (HIE) projects - HIE would enable personal health record "permitted" shared access regardless of provider (Hospital, Clinic or Physician) patient kept records. Obviously, privacy is the utmost regard (HIPAA, HITRUST and GDPR)...
I spared you more of endless acronyms, these are the profound ones!
Now, for some that didn't fall asleep reading this, this has epic consequences for us patients. Because all prostate cancer research data are not integrated, no correlation whatsoever, the data is captured in a clinical trial, then published in findings (published) like pubmed - then the data is archived, not reused, not shared, no collaboration across different research "grants".
IMHO, the evidence is in the diagnosis and outcome of all patients, then the research can be pulled, not pushed - like man made inclusion and exclusion clinical trials criterias, obvious evidence for where we are in this...
You know I love humor. But to be serious for a moment, I re-read your resume and it's quite impressive. Best thing for patients is that medical info can be stored and retrieved instantly. I was a main frame computer programmer (dinosaur) for large financial institutions. Both in the asset and liability side of Banking.
I caught my bus at 74th St and Roosevelt and hopped on a E,F,GG train below or the IRT to 42nd St above. Lots of 24ct Gold there now GIVE till you laugh
So you were fortunate to use our incredible mass transit system. The New York City MTA. It must have been a while ago since the local trains are not identified with duplicate letters anymore. e.g. GG is just the G, RR is just the R and etc. Now that you mentioned it I think I should have titled this post "GIVE TILL YOU LAUGH". Would have made more sense coming from a guy who loves laughter. So where are you located now?
You're right no more snow.... great temperature all year round.
You hit a nerve.... I've been looking to move to SF so I'm getting to know each and every street in the city via Trulia's real estate. Actually I would prefer Sausalito. I want a home with a view. I've been to S.F. many times and I love that city (minus the homeless). The best apartment for me would be on the end of Lombard street near the Coit tower (where my ashes will be dumped- what a view) 290 Lombard Street. Too bad real estate taxes are 3 times what they are in NYC. Here is google map.
You got in when it was affordable, lucky you. I never make mistakes, I once did but that was a mistake. Hard to laugh when the one mistake was my ex-wife.
