But I've been on-again, off-again employed so many times in the past decade (crossing my fingers during the times of unemployment/no health insurance) that it's <i>gotta</i> be better than that.La Lubuhttp://lubiddu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-28310522175087094822009-08-29T10:46:38.549-05:002009-08-29T10:46:38.549-05:00Fantastically written.

This was one of the most touching and timely stories that I have read in quite awhile. The connection with the sharecropper and health care, brilliant!<br /><br />I know you have many gifts, but your writing is an amazing gift. Seriously, I felt like I was on the front porch with you.<br /><br />You, my dear, are an inspiration.

Real issue is what clinicians can/cannot do under current regulations. Like EOL care or completing all trmts w a nonadherent pt population. This bill will legally change ppls misperceptions until emergency care's needed.DrGinomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113224600660147504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-91521012458575803762009-08-26T14:55:30.084-05:002009-08-26T14:55:30.084-05:00Thank you for sharing this.
