Beginning Thursday, the U.S. Senate's only two doctors, John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), will be launching their "Senate Doctors" live, online show. According to Barrasso's Web site:
According to Coburn's Web site, the senator "specializes in family medicine, obstetrics and the treatment of allergies. Dr. Coburn has personally delivered more than 4,000 babies." With health care reform expected to be a hot topic during these next two weeks, Republicans are seeking to capitalize on the expertise of the two doctors. Barrasso and Coburn will host "Senate Doctors" every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p.m. EST "to inform you about the latest news on the health care debate and answer your questions."During 24 years as an orthopedic surgeon in Casper, Barrasso served as president of the Wyoming Medical Society and was named Wyoming Physician of the Year. He also served as medical director of the Wyoming Health Fairs, bringing low-cost health screening exams to people all around the Cowboy State.
Barrasso is known throughout Wyoming for his health messages. His public service announcements have been on TV, radio and in numerous newspapers for more than 20 years. Barrasso has also hosted Wyoming's efforts on the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon.
