uncaring ER docs

So....your name is Teresa Heinz Kerry. You get a little sick to your stomach on a long holiday weekend. YOU get 911'd to the ER where extensive tests are run on you and you are admitted for observation. If it were me ...they would have handed me a plastic bag and sent me home with some Compazine.
So....your name is Bill Clinton. You get 4 days in the hospital pre-op and so far 4 days post-op...oh yeah and you're not even 60....but...you are 85 years old...go in the same day for quadruple bypass and are sent home after the 3rd midnight.
So....you're a little old man on an Alzheimer's floor. Chest pains over the weekend..spiking a temp....fell on Tuesday and hit your head hard on a linoleum floor. You get 911'd out to the hospital. The ER doc sends you back with in 2 hours without doing any tests, because he can tell there is nothing wrong with you. Perhaps that doctor should have been the one to look at Mrs Kerry.

exactly deb.
the medical treatment that people of affluence and stature receive is indeed one sided.
has nothing to do with political persuasion.

Isn't that what I said?

Treatment of older people won't change until WE make it change. And, Earle, thanks for the kind words.
