POTUS is the topic for TT

Here my nomination for today's Throwback Thursday, a post from 2009 on medGadget.  Perhaps it strikes my fancy because of the uptick in health care expenses for the country:


During Barack Obama’s healthcare reform tour, while touting cheaper clinical and technological approaches for medicine, the President got a hands-on experience with the Da Vinci robotic surgical system from Intuitive Surgical. The Cleveland Clinic, perhaps having an odd sense of humor, touted to the President one of the most expensive pieces of equipment used in the OR.

They gave him a white coat! He is not a doctor!!!! Then what about the MBA with a white coat in the UIC DaVinci ad? Double standard?
