Haven’t posted for a while

Busy I guess, and being busy takes away my motivation to post here.  I’ll have to work on that. . . What you ask is my motivation now?  Well, I am busy, but have been home for the last almost 2 weeks, letting myself heal from a terribly stupid accident I got myself into.  Oh well – they say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and I’ve vowed to be more diligent as to posting here, and updating my website.  I guess time will tell.   Have to count myself lucky – relatively minor injuries – no scars, and should be healed up just in time for boating prep season.  Really counting my blessings, since I spoke to a friend today who just underwent a double mastectomy for the big C.”  Ouch and get better soon dear Kat.

A word about hospitals – yes those who know me personally know that I stay as far away from hospitals and the rest of the medical profession as much as possible – and my recent experience confirms my aversion.  The MD who attended left everything to the technicians and nurses – one of whom (who?) could not get a needle in my arm to save her (my?) life.  Another who gave me a men’s large surgical shoe, and crutches to navigate on with broken ribs.  The MD did look at me for a couple of minutes – but got a phone call in the middle of it all, and seemed more interested in updating info on the computer than attending to patients!  I lived through it all, although I won’t be going back!  With all the waste of that encounter, it is no wonder out health insurance is such a wreck!  You know, it occurred to me that we don’t get to ask the price.   No price check, no comparison shopping, and we pay the same for an MD that graduated #1 in his or her class, as we do for the one who graduated last.  After all, we do call the one who graduated last “doctor.”  Seems if there was some price competition, or even if there was disclosure of price, we might end up with a more competitive system . . . I’m just sayin’!
