Terrorism, American Medicine, and Death Threats

We all remember the physicians in Glasgow Scotland who turned out to be terrorists, setting off bombs and attempting suicide attacks. (here and here) This stirred concern about foreign doctors here in the United States and potential terrorism.

Today I received an email from Adam Frederic Dorin, M.D., MBA (see email below), concerning his book "Jihad and American Medicine: Thinking Like a Terrorist to Anticipate Attacks via Our Health System" Thinking Like a Terrorist to Anticipate Attacks via our Health System. It seems that Dr. Dorin is now the victim of terrorist threats to kill him.

Here's a somewhat positive, yet somber, update of the activities surrounding my recently released book: "Jihad and American Medicine":

On the positive side, I will be presenting my book's themes as a faculty member/speaker to the March 28th, 2008 conference on the Legal and Medical Issues of Emergency Preparedness (California Western School of Law; Harbor Island Hilton, San Diego). I will also be speaking to the local rotary club on this same subject in April 2008. In addition, I will be the keynote speaker July 15, 2008 in Las Vegas at the 2008 Western Conference on Biopreparedness.

On the somber side, I have been the victim of terrorist threats to kill me--as documented via

San Diego police report: case # 08-010582 (422 p.c. "Terrorist Threat")
This incident was also reported to FBI special agent Gretchen E. Evaul, and, in addition to phone calls and meetings to law enforcement officials, an online report was submitted to the San Diego Chief of police and the San Diego office of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
The case involves many elements, but one of them was the hate crime of calling me a "real, dirty Jew"...the religious slur was made by an educated, moderate, non-religious Muslim man who is living and practicing his trade of engineering here in the United States...

Best --Adam

I suggest you check out the book, support Dr. Dorin in any way you can, and spread the word. Knowledge is power, power to protect ourselves. If you work at a hospital, know someone who works at a hospital, please share this information with them.

Book Description:

State-of-the-art counter-terrorism techniques, insights into modern medical practice, medical errors, and disaster prevention all intersect in this groundbreaking book by Adam Dorin, M.D., an anesthesiologist and medical director across 15 years. Dr. Dorin shows us why our healthcare system may be the next Ground Zero for terrorism and how many opportunities there are for terrorists to infiltrate the system. He offers a history of medical and healthcare-related serial killers, showing how they got inside the system to murder relatively easily, takes a detailed look at the profound problems that already exist in counterfeit and tainted medicinal products, and describes biological, chemical, and nuclear terrorism that could be used against our healthcare system. Most critically, Dr. Dorin presents a detailed blueprint for safeguarding our system and preventing medical terrorism from ever taking place. In tackling largely hidden but potentially deadly issues such as the failures of security at hospitals and surgical centers, Dr. Dorin's unique book offers the first in-depth public expose and loud alert to the risks and gaping weak spots in our healthcare system. Written simply and clearly, this work will interest all readers concerned with terrorism and the ways they might become victim to it. Dr. Dorin's warnings should certainly also interest and inform leaders and employees in the security, law enforcement, and medical fields.

HEALTH SPENDING: A Growing Economic Crisis (hat tip Mary Chamberlain, who says "WORDS I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM OBAMA AND CLINTON SPOKEN BY A DEMOCRAT FROM TENNESSEE THERE IS HOPE)

Editor’s Note: The following post by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) comments on the projections of national health spending from 2007 through 2017, published today by Sean Keehan and his colleagues in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of the Actuary as a Health Affairs Web Exclusive.

Although there’s a lot of explosive material in the latest National Health Expenditures forecast, policymakers will probably continue to ignore the dangers it presents. The few lawmakers who worry about health spending as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) will see little new: as expected, the health sector will grow to nearly 20 percent of the economy over the next ten years. Of course, most lawmakers will never see the article in Health Affairs or understand the threats it contains. (continue reading)

Memo to file? Interesting.

[doctor adam dorin]

Thank you (and the many supporters of my clinical efforts-- including those who have appreciated my new book, "Jihad and American Medicine,")for promoting my work to improve healthcare safety and security!). Please, however, remove the recent post by someone called Doctor Beeman, because this contains sensitive information which was intended for a much more limited pool of recipients!
With much appreciation,
Adam F. Dorin, MD, MBA
