I discovered this morning that Wikipedia does NOT have an article on one of the most important figures in medicine today. Inspired by this unpardonable oversight, I decided to try creating my very first Wiki article. It is now a work in progress. I hope to get back to it soon to add more about Dr. Angell, of which there is much to be added, and to work on the formatting, subtitles, etc. Please feel free to join in with constructive additions and comments. If anyone knows of an online photo of Dr. Angell that is in public domain, please let me know. Thanks.Askolnick 15:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

What a glaring oversight. (At least they have an article about Richard Horton.) I'll review some of her editorials in NEJM to suggest some of her other major ideas that should be included. She's one of the leading advocates of single payer, and I'd like to fill in her arguments in more detail. Nbauman
