Weekend Roundup

By Evan Falchuk

Some news from the weekend:

1.  Congratulations to my brother, Brad, co-creator and executive producer of Glee.  They won the Golden Globe for best musical or comedy TV series.  They beat some terrific shows, like 30 Rock, Entourage and The Office.  Well done, and congratulations to everyone at Glee.

2.  Speaking of awards, I was honored by Lexis Nexis as one of the Notable People of 2009 in the field of Workers Compensation.  It’s not as sexy as a Golden Globe but it is a great honor, since it was voted on by other workers compensation professionals.  What it is really about is the work we do at Best Doctors to make sure that people who get hurt on the job get the right care.  I owe special thanks to Mark Walls, of Safety National Insurance, for nominating me and Best Doctors.  Mark and the other senior executives at Safety National care deeply about doing the right thing, and helping each and every injured worker have the best chance to get well.  I commend them and I am grateful we are able to play a role in helping them succeed.

3.  More from me over the weekend:  if you listen to one doctor about health reform, make it Dr. Seuss.

4.  Interesting:  questions about immediate savings from corporate wellness programs.  Do they work?

5.  Happy birthday, Martin Luther King, Jr.  You were a true American patriot and hero.
