Mental Health Support

I went to the ER around 9 a.m.. They took my vitals and drew blood. The results of the bloodwork were on their website in about five minutes. After seeing the results of the vitals and the bloodwork and after seeing just how insane the ER was at the moment, I decided to leave. They were slammed and they had more than one 'Karen' walking around berating everyone as if the entire staff were put there just for their convenience. Plus, lots of hacking and sniffling. I did not want to keep my hubby or myself in that environment just to have them send me home anyway.

But, seeing as how our hospital systems are all going to be like this soon enough, I guess it is time to really face the reality of the situation. Healthcare is dead for most of us. Oh sure, it is out there, but after the financial damage, you might as well be dead anyway.

I don't know why I expected society to progress. The evidence to the contrary was right there in my face the entire time. I was as deluded as the rest, I guess. Too much Star Trek. Too much 'hopeful' science fiction. Too much dreaming. Well, dreamers get rewarded with dream solutions. We need real solutions. Which we as a nation don't seem to want, it seems.
