When a patient sits across from me in my Las Vegas practice, my job begins with listening. What symptoms are they experiencing? What medications are they taking? What worries them?

The 2026 midterms have conjured up comparisons to the 2006 midterms, when a deeply and broadly disliked Republican president and his blundering warmongering prompted a blue wave in which Democrats won back control of both houses of Congress.
