At the hospital

Posted At : May 26, 2009 09:10 PM | Posted By : D McKee

A sudden and unsettling bout of chest pains and difficult breathing has landed me in the emergency room. Actually, it's more like a fridge in which the hospital keeps people on ice while it tries to get a clue. Some of the patients appear to have been here most of the day. If this is state-of-the-art American health service, We.Are.Fucked, My cats get better, faster treatment when I take them to the vet.

My sincere apologies for being temporarily out of action. The next time my chest hurts, I'll just keep plugging away until I keel over.

You must have inadvertently gone to the "Anomaly Medical Center". After all, according to our gNOp friends, we have "the best medical care in the world" - so if you didn't get it, it's your fault.
In any case, I wish you well.

Hope it's nothing serious and your back on your feet soon. You have to get yourself over to the Cleveland Clinic partnered hospital, although I think it's brain surgery there, not heart surgery which they are renowned for. Sorry useless information there but I had read quite a bit on Nevada's healthcare issues and saw that CC was partnering in the area. While they still have there problems here, I can tell you from horror stories I've heard and personal experience they maybe the best in the business.

Funny Steve would say that, because I picture that if this happened to him he would be tweeting all night, taking pictures, posting it on his blog on Thursday AND pitching a story to the NYT about a first person account of "The Sorry State OF Sin CIity Health Care":-).

C'mon Dave! Next time, try the emergency room and not the morgue!

We are wishing you a speedy recovery. Please post your chest x-rays, there are those who would like to see proof that you do have a heart.

Good luck, Dave!

The state of medicine in America isn't quite THIS bad, it's just that Nevada lives up to the worst/lowest in everything.

I hope you get better soon. Lots and lots of people like me enjoy reading your blog so keep up the good work once you get healthy.
