dr. wilson, one of my doctors, and you are very helpful in making this happen. my eye patients can be 15 minutes, new patients for 30 minutes, and a new diagnosis is 60 minutes because there is so much to cover. i am on calls all the time, every single day, so if you and i have a relationship and you have a problem, you can reach me at any time. when i go away, i obviously have coverage, but otherwise i am constantly on call and available. that has not really been a problem because i know my patients. luckily i do not have a lot of cross coverage. that is pretty much my day. >> is a 1.5 days in the operating room? describe what you are usually doing in the operating room. >> i do a variety of breast- related procedures. anywhere from as simple as a breast biopsy, to try my diagnosis -- to try to make a diagnosis, to do a lumpectomy or a mastectomy for breast cancer. the pace it can have a set -- i tried to coordinate with plastic surgery so that the patient can have a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery at the same time. >> are you one time most of the time? >

is joe wilson's apology enough? plus, dr. andrew weil will examine barack obama's health care plan. does he agree with the prescription? he'll tell you how to protect your family from the flu epidemic, next on "larry king live." >> larry: good eveningr. we begin with two outstanding folks to discuss their side of this important issue. in new orleans, james carville. cnn political contributor, democratic strategist down in dallas, texas. nancy fultonhower, republican strategist and former advisor to john mccain. before we get into this, joe wilson fiasco, james, is the president going to get a bill? >> i think so. i mean, a pretty good bit of optimism. i talk to a number of people a day. there's some sense something's going to be coming out of the senate finance committee. but this thing has been tried by many presidents. and you know, the ditch is littered with corpses of people that tried this and failed. so we'll have to see. it's a tough slog. but something tells me that these guys are going to end up with something at the end of this process. >> nancy, do you think they will? >>
