Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say:
- Older lady makes it through bowel surgery. I’ll take it. “I heparinized her and said a little prayer. The graft stayed open. She ended up leaving the hospital. Her life will never be normal again…. But she made it through this battle. I’ll take it.”
- Should we lock up inmates and throw away the key? “In the universe of lack-of-healthcare, there are fewer groups who elicit less sympathy than felons. But here’s the deal — when you’re 21 years old, should you really be forced to lie locked in a cell, gasping for air until you die, purely because no one will give you your asthma inhaler?”
- Healthcare reform’s hidden bobby traps. “The health care reform plan, now law, also has many camouflaged elements that were not visible, even to the informed public. In the coming years, as the layers are peeled back, there will be many surprises for the public and for the medical profession, which I hope and pray will remain a profession.”
- Generic drug middlemen still get theirs. “Interesting how the generic drug market for some drugs only marginally discounts prices.”
