Again,

The HMO I worked for passed a 'secret memo' around saying that the providers were to curtail any 'unneeded tests'.

A friend took his son in to see about the kid's injured arm.

An ace bandage and a few hours later he went BACK TO THE ER and told the doc to x-ray the arm.

A broken arm, cast and six weeks fixed it.

Forget the 'constitutional scholar' horse puckey.

Talk, no listen, to the people who see it from the inside....

Ask a med salesman about selling product to a hospital.

Go online and look at the costs for Zimmer, Synthes, Baxter products and what pills/meds cost.

(Don't forget to cost what the product cost to make, the testing and how many times it took to get it right-I don't begrudge the companies those costs, but when something goes wrong?)


MOFF,

the ten bucks charge was for toilet paper.
