I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music and listening to music and critiquing it my whole life.

My mom and I used to listen to records read and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

If one of us any of us any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems where do we get the records to determine what to do?
The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files.
