9. Does Whitmer support same issues?

Why shame on Bernie? Does Whitmer support the same issues Bernie does like single payer health care and tuition free college?

Calling a Democrat a lying prick? Al-Sayed is a physician.


Last week, an article in Crain's Detroit Business called Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's credentials as a doctor into question. As members of Michigan's medical community, we would like to respond by disagreeing with the assessment provided in that article. Dr. El-Sayed can rightly claim to be both a physician and an expert in public health and medicine.

Dr. El-Sayed completed years of post-secondary training on his way to becoming an expert in public health and epidemiology. He completed two doctorates: one, a medical doctorate from the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University, one of the top medical schools in the country, and a second doctorate in Public Health from the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

His degree in medicine gave him the training in science and empathy to care for patients. During that time, he made clinical decisions and interacted with patients under the direct supervision of licensed physicians, providing insight into the day-to-day life of a physician.

After this training, Dr. El-Sayed decided to pursue training in Public Health. This is distinct from the clinical training most patients experience when they are working with their physicians. Public health looks at the broader causes of disease and tries to prevent and manage them at the level of the community, city, state, or country. A possible analogy is that medical school and residency allow you to become an expert driver, but you do not learn how to build the car. Dr. El-Sayed's training gives him the unique experience of doing both.
