ArchivesDr. O'Brien's PracticeBy Doug MacPherson on Wednesday, October 8, 2003.Just about every candidate for president has come out with a health care plan. All of them try to reduce the ranks of the uninsured. Some address rising medical costs, malpractice rates, and other key problems in the health care system.

Through the stories of patients and practitioners, we explore the connections among people from very different walks of life. Today, we begin with a visit to the family practice of Dr. Dick O’Brien in Belmont. Names of patients in this story and some of the details of their illnesses have been changed.

We'll discuss the book's broad issues of censorship and totalitarianism and why this novel is still being talked about today. Laura's guests are Jim Kelly, local Seacoast author and member of the NH Council on the Arts, David Galef, Professor of English at the University of Mississippi and former Assistant Editor for Galaxy Magazine, and Bob Lawson, Artistic Director for Andy's Summer Playhouse in Wilton. Bob put on a production of Fahrenheit 451 in August. *Discussion points for the show: If you wish to participate in the program, you can read the book online at the American Center. Two particular passages to note are the speech by Captain Beatty on page 25, which begins with the sentence "Captain Beatty sat down in the most comfortable chair with a peaceful look on his ruddy face." The second passage of note is on page 72, which begins with the sentence "Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said". We look forward to your participation! listen:
