My little family got crushed by the fallout from our ectopic adventure. Hospital, hospital, hospital, no new biological kids, I gotta get the snippity-snip, bills up the wazoo, sadness, etc.... Gave me plenty of time to get more familiar with medical-ish stuff. Communication and transparency would help lots. That's part of why I'm not anti-government-involvement in health care. We need some regulation and a lot more reform. After watching the PBS special on how the health care stuff sorta went down, wow! What a monumental accomplishment, even if it doesn't amount to much-- besides the destruction of the very fabric of our society by "socialist" ideals, of course. :-)p :Den -- One may be humble out of pride.
