About Me

Robert Weinmann: San Jose, California, United States; Writing in Neurology Today, Vol. 3 (8), August 2003, Dawn Antoline writes "Robert L.

Whether he is writing muckraking editorials about HMOs that deny physician claims or ... billing practices ... he has committed himself to a life of activism.
