Suzanne Giesemann "The Priest & The Medium"
Psychic medium B. Anne Gehman gave her first spirit readings to her teddy bears at age five. Raised in the Mennonite tradition, she left home at age 14 to finish her schooling. A life-changing near-death experience led Anne to develop her natural gifts, including an uncanny ability to predict future events. She has gained international attention for her help in solving crimes, locating oil and missing persons, healing illnesses, and connecting family members with their loved ones in spirit. She has worked with top government agencies and officials, police departments, judges, and corporate CEOs. While remarkable for her spiritual gifts and experiences, Anne’s life is all the more fascinating due to an unusual twist: she is married to Wayne Knoll, Ph.D., a former Jesuit priest. A brilliant student devoted to his faith, Wayne also left home at 14 to join a Roman Catholic seminary. She is a former Navy Commander who served as a Commanding Officer and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11. An avid sailor and U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, she and her husband, Ty, have sailed their 46-foot sloop Liberty across the Atlantic Ocean and throughout the Mediterranean. Her other books include Conquer Your Cravings, It’s Your Boat Too (A Woman’s Guide to Greater Enjoyment on the Water), and the memoir Living a Dream.

The survey also shows that 60% of smokers were not able to quit on their first try. The Quitter in You campaign highlights the need to change the way Americans look at quitting and provides the motivation to quit for good.

Anthony Tarricone President American Association for Justice (AAJ)
Putting Patients First - Top Myths about Medical Negligence - Preventable medical errors are the sixth largest killer in America, costing billions every year. According to the Institute of Medicine, 98,000 patients die from medical errors- the equivalent of two 737s crashing every day for a whole year. The American Association for Justice (AAJ) has launched a national ad campaign to educate lawmakers about the epidemic of preventable medical errors and how tort law changes will not lower costs or cover the uninsured. There is a misconception that there are too many “frivolous” malpractice lawsuits and that these claims drive up health care costs and doctors’ premiums. There are many cases of medical negligence, not lawsuits since only one in eight people injured by negligence actually file suit. In fact, civil filings have declined eight percent over the last decade, and are less than one percent of the whole civil docket. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the total spent defending claims and compensating victims of medical negligence was just 0.3% of health care costs and empirical research has found that there is little correlation between malpractice payouts and malpractice premiums paid by doctors.As the world's largest trial bar, AAJ works to make sure people have a fair chance to receive justice through the legal system when they are injured by the negligence or misconduct of others—even when it means taking on the most powerful corporations. A managing partner at Kreindler & Kreindler LLP’s office in Boston, Mass., Tarricone represents individuals who have experienced serious injury or death. His areas of practice include aviation, product liability, medical negligence, and other complex personal injury and death cases. Tarricone has fought to ensure that individuals have meaningful legal remedies in state and federal courts when they are harmed by the negligence of others./ What tort reform is and whether that will help the uninsured/Five myths about medical negligence/ Patients’ rights and how to put patients first/ Ways to improve our health care system and reduce medical errors
