Things I think are wrong with this country


Recommended Posts

I love my job. (just to clear that up)

 

I would like to say thank you to Bjorn for this thread. It is good to hear different sides of stories. Even if there is some name-calling. I mean that....no sarcasm.

You are welcome, and I wish the ad hominem attacks would cease. I am also a bit disappointed by the lack of fervor (fervour) for the Looney Tunes situation. That problem will not solve itself.

""The situation is grave," said Dr. Michael Gerardi, a spokesman for the emergency doctors' group, American College of Emergency Physicians. "We are a symptom of the disease that is the health care system."

 

In many areas of the country, especially in cities because of large numbers of uninsured people, emergency rooms are crushing under the increased volume and patient care is often compromised, doctors insisted.

 

"We are not adapting very well," said Dr. Daniel Higgins, the medical director of emergency service at Saint Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, Calif., where 27 percent of the patients are uninsured and emergency room visits have risen 13 percent in five years."
