Hospitals have focussed too much on precision delivery of therapies, and have ignored HUMAN delivery of therapies.<BR/><BR/>Everyone in my family is working on that problem. Or they get nagged mercilessly.<BR/><BR/>Keep ranting, it's not only good for you, it's good for us all.Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643624734174660482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-28041457316553444372007-03-24T10:23:00.000-05:002007-03-24T10:23:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.TravelingMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616443915730559621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-8784679490266652342007-03-24T01:00:00.000-05:002007-03-24T01:00:00.000-05:00Also, thoughts and prayers to Milady for a speedy ...Also, thoughts and prayers to Milady for a speedy recovery.oysterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834991774263046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-71036146466360719732007-03-24T00:59:00.000-05:002007-03-24T00:59:00.000-05:00Paw Paw, I share your distaste, and have never agr...Paw Paw, I share your distaste, and have never agreed with you more.oysterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834991774263046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-56823742525324238442007-03-23T11:02:00.000-05:002007-03-23T11:02:00.000-05:00Aaah!

I don't trust doctors or hospitals. I especially don't trust surgeons. I love nurses and EMTs. Nurses and EMT's generally do great work.<BR/><BR/>Troll says: You mentioned that your wife (partner or whatever) just came home from the hospital..<BR/><BR/>PawPaw replies: My wife, yes.<BR/><BR/>Troll sez: Don't go back.<BR/><BR/>Don't let your spouse back<BR/><BR/>PawPaw replies: For myself, I limit my exposure to the bare minimum necessary. For myself, I'd never presume to tell my spouse what to do. I suppose you're one of those who orders your spouse around. How enlightened!<BR/><BR/>Troll sez: Your wife would have probably died without the medical professionals' intervention?<BR/><BR/>PawPaw replies: No, actually, she'd have probably lived another fifty years without the surgery. She didn't know that when she elected to have the surgery, but as it turns out....<BR/><BR/>Troll sez: Use the system and quit badmouthing ALL (except your cousin) health care workers, OR, quit using the system, bad mouth them and DIE!<BR/><BR/>PawPaw replies: All I said about my cousin is that I didn't have an opinion about her work. She may be great, she may not. I don't know.<BR/><BR/>However, I reserve the right to use whatever portion of the healthcare system I want to use. I'm paying for it, after all. And paying for a bunch of folks who get in for free, which I adamantly oppose.<BR/><BR/>And, I reserve the right to criticize any and all of it.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-14483093986124471552007-03-23T08:55:00.000-05:002007-03-23T08:55:00.000-05:00You know (and yes, I know it makes me sound dumb f...You know (and yes, I know it makes me sound dumb from the beginning), its kind of interesting.<BR/><BR/>You don't trust people in the medical profession.<BR/><BR/>Fine.<BR/><BR/>The solution is REAL SIMPLE. <BR/><BR/>Don't go back. <BR/><BR/>You mentioned that your wife (partner or whatever) just came home from the hospital..<BR/><BR/>Just to be clear: I am NOT saying all health care workers are great. However, YOU seem to be saying that they are all horrible, both professionally and as human beings. (with a CONVENIENT exception being your Aunt's daughter) <BR/><BR/>You don't trust them. You think what they do ( the invasive test etc) is paramount to torture.<BR/><BR/>Fine.<BR/><BR/>Don't go back.<BR/><BR/>Don't let your spouse back.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, what's that?<BR/><BR/>Your wife would have probably died without the medical professionals' intervention?<BR/><BR/>Huh. <BR/><BR/>Maybe all those invasive tests and procedures actually do some good!<BR/><BR/>You know, no one forces you to use the medical health system. You (and your wife) are more than welcome to just sit at home and die, like they did 100 years ago. Your choice. Use the system and quit badmouthing ALL (except your cousin) health care workers, OR, quit using the system, bad mouth them and DIE!<BR/><BR/>Have a great life, whatever you choose, just be consistent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
