Mine have been very satisfactory for the most part. I think people need to understand the concept of “triage” when it comes to the management of an ER. <BR/><BR/>And poor, ever-frustrated old sweater guy… Hey, could you provide a link or some back-up for your whiny complaint? Darn that government, darn that medical research. Darn that evil media. Why can’t we just privatize the whole dang system? You know, it runs with such fantastic efficiency in the United States, doesn’t it? And who needs all that pesky “research” in the first place anyway? Gosh, isn’t everything revealed in the Bible? It’s ALL there isn’t it? It’s the revealed Word of GOD after all.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1159675601555522672006-10-01T00:06:00.000-04:002006-10-01T00:06:00.000-04:00Yeah, this is a pretty big deal.

You've got to have access to Emerg health care.<BR/><BR/>I heard on the evening news that Smitherman may be pulling a rabbit out of a hat to keep the emerg open another day or two. Hopefully they'll come up with a few doctors to stave off the closure.
