Doctor, doctor.. gimme the news.
Little Robert Palmer reference there... I've had a song theme thing working for me all week!!
I hope you liked tonite's story (5pm Friday) on Dr. Starr and Randy Jelen.
Randy had too many wonderful people to thank in one short TV news story.. like the doctors who diagnosed him way back when he was about 2 years old.. and he also wanted to thank Dr. Riley and the staff at the Corvallis Clinic and other folks.
((Here's Randy as a teen.. right before his surgery))
He told me he was up at the old Doernbecher when they put in the skybridge which he thought was pretty cool at the time.
Check out this on the American Heart Association website about Dr. Starr (look uner 1960): http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4696
A great (and pretty recent) article on Dr. Starr: http://www.beavertonvalleytimes.com/news/story.php?story_id=117882735482841400

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!! :-)
