I'll check it out
Jimmy! Thanks, and luv you,too! Jem- I know you busted up your foot...twice now!!(not laughing...as far as you know hehe...I know I'll pay for that one) but seriously, I guess the hospitals must be better in Hawaii. At least better than they are here in Tampa or when I lived in Chicago, that's for sure.

Perhaps it's just Hawaii...
The ERs here are actually pretty good. I've gone to the ER 4 times (at three different hospitals). Each time I was admitted and seen quickly.
Once I was severely dehydrated. They took me in and put me on IV fluids immediately.
Once I had an anxiety attack (though I went cause I thought I had taken too many meds). They took me in instantly--and I didn't even go to the ER initially. I went to see a normal doc, but they sent me to the ER as soon as they took one look at me.
Twice I broke my foot. Both times I was seen within a few minutes of my arrival.

E.R's definately suck...
but single payer medical insurance like they have in Europe and Canada would free up a lot of E.R. time. Those people who go to E.R. like Doctors office don't have insurance and either can't afford it or can't qualify due to some serious condition. see jimmy's blog notes for further info/diatribe...love ya
