DonaldMiller.com Donald W. For 40 years, from 1974-2014, I taught and performed cardiac surgery at Seattle's Swedish Medical Center, the Seattle VA Medical Center, and the University of Washington Medical Center.
Now retired, as an Emeritus Professor of Surgery and former Chief, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine, I continue to research and write articles on fallacies that afflict modern medicine and the importance of natural and nutritional medicine for maintaining good health. I also research and write articles on a variety of other subjects such as the Civil War; the JFK assassination; the Beat generation; climate change; water fluoridation; politics, and the U.S. Economy; and Austrian economics. I have written three book s: The Practice of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, Atlas of Cardiac Surgery, and Heart in Hand, which is available free on this site. In Heart in Hand I deal with the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, the films of Woody Allen, and my life as a heart surgeon. Key Articles on Politics, Economics, and Power, arranged chronologically (beginning after the second one, which summarizes the next fifteen) (August 16, 2017) Copyright © 2017 by LewRockwell.com.

See Bruce Ramsey's ' published in the Seattle Times March 17, 2008. He writes opinion pieces and editorials for the Seattle Times and interviewed me about this article and the 'Questioning HIV/AIDS.'
(I suggested he also talk with Gerald Pollack, UW professor of bioengineering, which he did.) See also his follow up article ' April 30, 2008. Coauthored with Clifford Miller: Miller DW and Miller CG. Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons 2005;10(3-Fall):70-73. Its conclusion: 'Medicine needs to develop a better understanding of the nature of evidence and of evidential proof, by emulating law’s approach to evidence. Law in turn needs a better understanding of the shortcomings of medicine’s approach to evidence.' Comments by reviewers: 'Frankly, I consider this a landmark manuscript-it is absolutely wonderful and makes researchers look at their profession in a new light-in terms of legal implications as well as what is truly ‘scientific’. It is absolutely a classic.'
And: 'On Evidence, Medical and Legal' I think is terrific. The authors have done a remarkable job putting it all together. We need more sharp thinkers to help.
