Guess my question would be, who was paying?

My wife has been a critical care nurse for 30 years and went to nursing sup (runs the whole house at night). The craziness of what people can get away with is nuts.

A hospital is not a hotel. Hospitals getting reimbursed off of patient satisfaction scores is nuts. Should be one question. You go home alive? 100% satisfaction.

I'm almost to the point that we need to move to a pay for fee services. Doesn't matter if it is cash, insurance, credit card, whatever...BUT no pay, no service. Can't go the grocery store and get food without payment. Nothing else in this world can you get 'for free' (as in beer).

Modern medicine is an amazing thing, but we truly need to start dying to appreciate it more.

Just like we need a good plague to remember to vaccinate. Or taking a nuke out into the pacific, calling the press, and doing a public detonation - remind ourselves in this generation what other generations have learned the hard way.
