The speed that accidents occur and the aftermath is mind-boggling. <br>Secondly, I have to say this: The treatment people get in American hospitals is appalling, in the ER especially.<br>It is one of the primary reasons my daughter and her husband moved to where I live: Mexico. <br>Yeah. I know. Kind of confusing, innit?<br>My youngest granddaughter sat for over 6 hours (!) with a huge laceration, waiting for a surgeon, in one of the "finest" hospitals in Seattle two years ago. <br>Medical treatment in Mexico is prompt, cheap, frank (they don't BS you) and honest. <br>I just don't get it. <br>The US CAN have good medical care and by golly, I hope you get it. <br>Good luck with Andrew's arm and watch what you joke about.Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04629355449173550498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891118331658959226.post-43665170044776802132009-05-14T20:18:00.000-05:002009-05-14T20:18:00.000-05:00Yeah ~ ER's are the worst.
