Chew An Aspirin and Call Me in the Morning: Good health care available just about everywhere, good health caring – not so muchBiography:

Frank King dedicated his life to healing hearts on his 8th birthday, the day his beloved 40-year old dad died of a massive myocardial infarction. Ironically, the death of his father not only inspired Frank’s life’s work, healing hearts with humor, it undoubtedly saved that life. It turned out that Frank had the same bicuspid aortic valve that killed his father. Because of his dad’s premature death due to heart disease, Frank was on the lookout for similar problems with his own ticker, and at 39 had his first heart valve replacement. A scar was born, and so was his popular keynote, “Chew An Aspirin and Call Me in the Morning: good health care available just about everywhere, good health caring – not so much.” This initial surgery provided insights into cardiology, not from the perspective of a practitioner, but from that of a patient. He discovered first-hand that there’s a difference between good health care, and good health caring. Frank’s career has taken him from being a quarter-finalist on “Star Search” where he lost to a puppet, to appearances on A & E’s “An Evening at the Improv”, Showtime’s “Comedy Club Network” and CNN’s “Business Unusual.” In addition to telling jokes he’s been busy selling jokes. He’s written for Jay Leno, Joan Rivers and Dennis Miller. He’s opened up for Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ron White, and most recently was himself opened up by a crack team of cardiac surgeons at the Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute. They performed an aortic valve replacement, his second, and tossed in a double bypass, his first. Frank King truly is Funny At Heart!

County the second most populous county in the United States, after Los Angeles County, California.

The city is a center for services, business and finance and is listed as one of the world’s top ten Global Financial

Centers. The city’s waterfront allure and nightlife has attracted residents and tourists alike. Over one-third of the city

population is concentrated in the lakefront neighborhoods (from Rogers Park in the north to South Shore in the South).

The city has many upscale dining establishments as well as many ethnic restaurant districts. These districts include the
