[I sent this out last week to UAAO
members, and have since had several requests to make this available
to non-members. As it is about the AOA President and is a great
read for all DO students, I'll post the information here. Also,
knowing that first-years haven't started receiving their DO
Magazine yet, I've posted a PDF of the article in the "UAAO
articles" folder on the Portal]
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the
new AOA President, John A. Strosnider, DO. Dr. Strosnider is
arguably one of the strongest presidents the AOA has seen in recent
years. I've attached [posted on the Portal] an article from the
September issue of The DO Magazine covering much of this man's
outstanding qualifications, his passion for the profession, and his
dedication to us, as medical students. Dr. Strosnider's theme for
his Presidency is "Back to Basics." Even though he is President of
the AOA and Dean/VP of the Pikeville College, Dr. Strosnider still
makes time each day to arrange free treatments for members of his
staff and his community who cannot otherwise afford medical care.
In admissions at Pikeville, Dr. Strosnider understands that the
best test scores don't always correspond to the best physicians.
"There are students on our waiting list with higher grades and
higher scores on the MCAT than the ones we accept." In his
Presidency, Dr. Strosnider also hopes to focus on distinction that
make Osteopathy so important: "There's supposed to be a difference
between osteopathic physicians and allopathic physicians...DOs are
not afraid to touch their patients or listen to them, and our
approach to patient care gives us an edge. If every DO relied on
OPP [OMM], people would remember us for our attention and
kindness."
Dr. Strosnider's goals in many ways
reflect our goals as your UAAO officers. We do not wish to leave
you with mere techniques, or the skills to simply score better on
exams. Our goal is far greater. While you won't be an Osteopathic
physician until you graduate, you can make the decision to be an
Osteopath starting today. That's a decision we can all be proud
of.
Respectfully,
Jonathan

Tonight at the study session of the Kirksville City Council, they
made final
changes to a smoke free ordinance that would include bars,
restaurants,
public parks, and some indoor amusement areas. Overall,
Breathe Easy
supported the ordinance for a council vote. At the end of the
meeting,
councilmembers shared their stance on the issue. Only two
councilmembers
expressed interest in a council vote. The ordinance would
require three
votes to pass. They do plan to have a vote on November 15th
but it will
fail, and unfortunately, I am not sure that there is much we can do
about
this.
Statements:
Dale Blesz: Supports a council vote and has been the major
supporter of the
ordinance. Said would vote YES.
Jill McCord: Supports a council vote and says will most likely be
in support
of the ordinance.
Jeff Newton: Will abstain. Concerned with conflict of
interest as he is a
local restaurant owner. Does support the ordinance
personally, but feels
the conflict of interest is to much. Did say he would vote
yes if he didn't
own a restraunt.
Martha Rowe: Not even sure she will vote to put this on the ballot.
Will
vote NO at a council vote.
Tim Crist: Said that voting to put it to a ballot is the most he
would do.
Has openly spoke in opposition to the ordinance in the past.
Keep an eye on your email for further details. As more
becomes available or
known, and now that the direction of this effort is changing, we
will be in
touch. Please DO reply to this email with any
thoughts/ideas/concerns/etc
as the Breathe Easy Smoke Free Ordianance Committee will be meeting
next
week and all of your ideas will be much appreciated. If you
have time and a
special interest in this matter, let us know and we would love to
have you
get involved in a new direction.
THANK YOU for all your work. This is a big disappointment,
but we will
continue the momentum and work toward Clean Air in Kirksville.
With great respect for each of you!
Justin D. Puckett, DO

So, my brother Mark is a programmer for Amazon.com. I also have a brother, Jim that is an investor with Wasatch Advisors--are market leader in funds. He manages over 5 billion dollars in assets, all dealing with science and technology. So, the first thing that comes to mind is, what is it in that Gulbrandsen blood? I don't really know--I think we all just love gadgets...Anyway, there is just SOOO much more to this funny story: A couple of months ago my brother Jim (the advisor) ripped on Amazon on National TV (bloomberg). This was after Amazon released bad profit outlooks. Funny thing is that the headline was: " Gulbrandsen of Wasatch Global Picks Submarino Over Amazon" Submarino is the Brazillian competitor to Amazon. It is just too funny that my brother, Mark, is a programmer at Amazon and also bears the last name, Gulbrandsen. I can only imagine what the nasty looks at the drinking fountain that Mark got. To continue the saga, my brother was on bloomberg yet again, this time with a little bit more positive things to say . What I really wish I could do is post the emails that have bounced back and forth in my family. They are just terribly funny. I don't think I will do that, though--they are a little too personal. What can add to the saga is that my brother has been trying to get me to finish my degree and not even do a residency so that I can work with him. Maybe we can have yet another Gulbrandsen involved in the family feud...
