Taking One's Own Advice

Well, after reading my last post, I decided to stop publishing my SPHealthCare blog. I realized that hardly anybody was reading it, and there are a lot more competent people out there doing the same thing. Remember what I said about too much information not always being a good thing. Besides I came to realize just how much time it was taking out of my day.

I will still comment on the other blogs, when I think I have something important to say, but I'll let the others do all the hard work. I'm just going to play more golf, and ride my bike.

Perhaps that is good advice. I know I think I still spend way too much time reading everything I can. (By the way, I also read your other blog, although I don't think I posted there.)

I joined another forum with CLL survivors that is much more interactive and I have been spending a LOT of time there, too. So much that I think my wife is beginning to resent it just a little. Time to get out and enjoy life and stop obsessing, huh? Easier said than done because I have learned so very much from other people's experiences that I think I would be in a very different place now, both physically and emotionally, without all I have learned.

Thank you for your efforts, and I have learned much from you also.

Well John, it's taken me almost 4 years to come to that conclusion. You've still got a long way to go. :)

Marc - i thought i posted a comment in one of your blogs, but can't find it. If this is a dupe, apologies - my note asked you to continue talking about health care; there are plenty of us "experts" commenting on health care, policy, etc; we need to be reminded of the human aspect and that health care is unlike other "goods and services" because it is a life, health, and death issue.
best - Joe Paduda

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...
