You Deserve Optimum Healthcare
Gone are the days the traditional doctor took care of every facet of your health care. Primary doctors, no longer carry an array of expertise to care for all the diagnoses they give you. Gone are the days your doctor came to your home to make house calls. They no longer have time to do this. Gone are the days when the hospital admits you for any reason and your family doctor visits you in the hospital every day. These days, when the hospital admits you, the hospital assigns a Hospitalist to care for you for the duration you are in the hospital. This Hospitalist talks with your family doctor every day to report your condition and findings. Your family doctor still has a say in your care.

I now sit in the place once reserved for my grandparents and parents.

I come to realize that each generation has their "Good old days."

What the heck is the National Day of Reason, originating in 2003? How can they, whoever they are, do this? I must admit I was angered.

Nursing, a Noble Profession
Nursing, a Noble Profession The Nursing Profession is growing by leaps and bounds. I retired after 40-years of nursing. I enjoyed taking care of patients, and there was not a day that passed that I learned something new from those I worked with and my employers. However, it was also time to make a change and take life a bit easier.
