Universal Health Care

I found this tongue in cheek column by Jocelyn Chao of The Onion at Callooh's Tulgey Wood.

It's funny and would be funnier yet if it didn't hit so close to home.

I'm too tired to start ranting again about my husband and health care. He may have misunderstand what some hospital staffer told him yesterday when he was discharged so I'll withhold judgment until we can contact his doctor on Monday.

Briefly, when they can't arrive at a diagnosis, it seems that they're blaming the patient. He's senile or mentally ill or malingering. He's bored and using his frequent trips to the hospital to break the monotony. Give me a break!! He's none of the above of course. They as much as told him not to come back to the hospital.

Enough. When I find out more of what's going on, I'll be back with an update.

Meantime, I'm glad to have him back home one more time.
