They are doing a big articles on healthcare hints, etc. But this one was a bit out of line...
From Dr. Michael Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic...
"In the hospital, designate a friend or relative to ask questions or complain. That way, you won't be viewed as a "problem patient" which can often mean less attention from the staff"
Hello dude, ever heard of HIPPA? Or a PITA family that can mean people will avoid your room even more? Ugh.
I liked this one too...it doesn't say who suggested it...
"The first person you meet at the ER is the triage nurse, who decides how quickly you need to be seen. No matter when your problem actually started, never say more than 4 hours ago, it will seem less pressing (but tell the doctor exactly when symptoms began)."
