It is a universally accepted notion that any person in possession of an opinion will wish to share it... mostly. So here I am, many years late, diving into the fray. This diary of sorts is meant primarily for friends and family, however anyone is welcome to join the conversation. The opinions expressed here are mine alone and may range from evaluations of local restaurants to essays on health care.
It was dismaying to me that our local Olive Garden won “Best Italian Restaurant” when there are so many locally owned Italian restaurants that serve delicious meals and where there is no danger of running out of pre-fabricated chicken parmesan. Don't get me wrong, I like a good bread stick as well as the next person. But food is a way of getting to know other cultures...everyone eats. So why not try that local French-Thai place by the train station?
It is alarming to me when I hear that health care reform will mean health care rationing. If you think there is no rationing in our current system, talk to a patient with low hemoglobin whose insurance will not cover a simple weekly injection of darbepoetin alfa, but will cover a blood transfusion . I currently work in the health care industry, but I have worked in pharmaceuticals, IT and education. I have stories to share about all of them.
It is gratifying to know that the Internet allows us to connect with people from all over the world and stay in contact with the people who mean the most to us. That is the hope and purpose of this blog. Welcome to it.
