There are other health workers who visit homes too. That's a good point. When both my dad and my mom's second husband were dying, there was a parade of different nurses that came by to bathe them, give Mom a break, take blood to make sure their medicines were working correctly, and then of course, eventually, hospice care. I guess a lot of doctor functions have been taken over by nurses and PAs, and they will still make a housecall for a price. Eric Lucas

Instead of posting a bunch of gratuitous bullshit like he usually does, the unsettled one simply posts the words "gratuitous bullshit", and saves everyone the time reading. Kinda like the famous Rene Magritte painting. Eric Lucas

Well, actually, since my question was asked first, perhaps you might want to hold JoeBlows to the same standard of answering the question before moving on, that you do TWake. Oh, that's right, you only demand those questions be answered that support your point of view.... Eric Lucas

Just because you disagree when he points out fact that you don't like about the US doesn't make it "bigotry". Learn the language. Eric Lucas |
