Government run health care

There is this as well.... See point #1 of "my plan". LOL

Don't bother posting until you announce your run for office.

Here's one little interesting thing about 'old stuff' that sits around an operating room.

Should there be any 'product' that sits on the shelf because the tech is no longer used or has been replaced by something newer and better?

It gets donated to a charity where docs take it to third world countries and use it on poor people in the area,



A laparoscopy/laparotomy kits are sold to hospitals as a unit.

(Baxter) They got smart and began to sell a package that includes EVERYTHING you need to pluck an appendix or a gall bladder.

Problem? The hospitals are strapped and HAVE to buy the whole kit from the manufacturer.

They will break it open and use 60 to 70% of the kit, the rest is either thrown away or te individually packaged things are set aside for emergency usage.

-----------------------------------

So, when you come in for a burst appendix, you are charged for the WHOLE KIT, no matter what is used.


I dislike the salespeople (med supplies and drugs) more than politicians.

I worked in the area where the sales reps would come in and almost offer themselves up in order to get a sale.

Those people were scumbags, liars and the biggest thieves on the planet.
