RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 05/13/18 > My thoughts on the American Medical Health Care System

in #blog7 years ago

Medical care in the US is possibly the best on earth. Doctors are incredibly well trained in most every discipline as are nurses and administrators. It is also unbelievably expensive.

Insurance is an entire separate subject, and so distasteful I think I'll not poison the remainder of my Sunday with discussing it.

It is Mother's Day, my first without one so I'm a little 'out of sorts' anyway.

I just said no right after the election of 2016. To TV News. The only news I've seen since has been in doctor's waiting rooms. What's wrong with Animal Planet or Nat Geo? I guess they want to pre stress my blood pressure readings in order to sell more prescriptions.

So. No you have it. My dog is gone and it seems I may have a cantaloupe dog hanging around here. You know, a melon collie. Means it's a good time to quit :)

I'll do better tomorrow.

Sort:  

All the "first days" after losing someone are especially tough so I feel for you.

Our health care is among the best I'm pretty sure, we have the people and the knowledge, also the facilities.
Hadn't given much thought to what the doctors offices have on in their waiting rooms, they might very well be contributing to some elevated readings, good for their business model I guess.
Make the best of your day, go for a ride and enjoy the outdoors.
