(And, I take your point.) <br /><br />I don't think I'll ever get over how un-served, un-cared-for I felt when I discovered that was the truth about most hospitals, including mine. "You mean you can't make doctors stick to a hospital policy??? What??" Sick.<br /><br />I mean, it's really, really, all about the doctors, and not the least bit about what serves the person in need.

(I have my eye on silk scrubs and a cashmere robe, in case you decide to stop in for some shopping, too.) Which actually gives me an idea: Flash mob. Health care activists, en masse, show up to you know, have a little fun. How about in honor of Abbie & Jerry & the other Yippies?

With the increased responsibility of healthcare consumers (AKA patients....) in paying for more of their care - hopefully they spend more time researching quality and outcomes than they do on other purchases at malls. Kicker is that depending on their insurance, networks - both provider and hospital - are being trimmed. Johann Odermannnoreply@blogger.com
