Local emergency responders prepared for the worst

LeBo, find the needed trauma surgeons and other required professional personnel and all our problems would be solved. Until then I support all that LMH has done and is doing to make trauma care at LMH a reality.

What is the oldest piece of furniture in your house?

If you asked my wife she would probably say me.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: A poet warrior fights to tell story of Vietnam

Not everyone who lost his life in Vietnam died there. Not everyone who came home from Vietnam ever left there.

Chiefs’ ticket sales rise

Happy to see folks are happy with the next phase of the Chiefs program. I, however, was perfectly happy to give up my season tickets after 21 years. Let's see 210 regular season games (I count the two exhibition games since the costs are the same) and two playoff wins when Joe Montana was our QB. I have made some crappy investment choices in the past but this was probably the worst. There were fun times of course, these past years have almost made me want to start rooting for professional baseball again. Nah, that's not going to happen either.

Opinion: Draft makes U.S. defense everyone’s duty

Interesting comments regarding who protects versus who is protected. I have long believed that those who rule should, as the article stated, have some skin in the game. Those in the military are not simply pawns for the elite to toss around as they see fit. If the use of the military is actually in the best interest of the country then let all take part.

Documentary film crew to do interviews in Lawrence for veterans project

I think I am more interested in the vets group regular get together. Perhaps I should just ask Doug the details. We all need friends and Vet friends often seem to be the best.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: You thought recruiting a point guard was tough? Try recruiting a doctor

Good article. Physician recruitment will only become more difficult as reimbursements continue to drop and fewer folk go into medicine because of the increasing administrative hassles and reductions in compensation. Primary care physicians will be in even more demand and fewer physicians enter this specialty.

LMH has does a great job over these past years bringing in quality physicians. Keep up the good work, as hard as it is.

How has the smoking ban affected your going-out habits?

Had to answer the question honestly. We go out the same, so it has not changed our "going out" but we are now enjoying it more. My bride and I are both "ex" and can appreciate it even more how our smoking had an effect on others.
