I established this company several years ago for two purposes:

1.  Educational services, such as organizing symposia, lectures, healthcare business consulting. 

2.  Medical-legal counseling, specifically, providing medical expert testimony.  If you are interested in this aspect of Singer Heart/Lung Consulting, check out the Expert Testimony page.   

Speaking of education...

I was in New York City on Tuesday, September 4, 2001, exactly one week before the 9/11 tragedy. I was attending a surgical education course.

It was only by chance that I had selected that particular week and not the week of September 11.

As I drove out of New York City to return home, I looked back at the city from the Verrezano Bridge and saw the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan.  Looking at the Twin Towers shining in the twilight, my final thoughts were: "It's not so hard to drive around New York.  I'll have to bring my family back this autumn to visit and take my kids to the top of the World Trade Center."

On September 11, 2001, I was just about to begin an open heart operation when someone grabbed me to look at the television.  They said "a commuter plane had hit one of the World Trade Center Buildings."

Just then, we looked at the television and saw the second explosion.  The unbelievable had occurred.  The United States was under attack.

I don't know how I got through that operation that morning, but I did.  I was stunned to think that I was there only one week prior.  I thought of how I must of passed by so many people not knowing they would all perish just a week later.  Life is just so fragile.

Like you, since 9/11 I worry for my family and for our country.  I worry about my children and all of the children of the world and what the future holds for them. 

There is no doubt that today we must fight--we must stay on the offensive.  But, at the same time, our tomorrows depends on our ability to educate and feed the world so that all people can live in peace.
