    The real way to fix those wait times is to make sure there are plenty of doctors, hospitals and staff to support the needs of every community/region. And a great way to guarantee this is to make all public colleges and universities tuition free.

    That won’t increase the number of doctors. As I posted before you have to increase the number of medical schools in the US to increase the number of doctors. Free tuition to med school is something I’d favor since the need is so great.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    This is a complicated matter…I don’t think any country does it perfectly or well, really. That said, I’ve changed my view on this…but am also clueless as far as a solution goes. I am very happy and encouraged by success stories like Billy’s. Every good outcome is a victory over cancer or any other disease. We are making progress but have a long way to go.

    I want to thank you guys…when people suffer loss you would not believe the stupid, ignorant but well-meaning things people say to try and comfort you. I know those of you who have suffered loss know what I’m talking about. You guys said exactly the right things. Thank you…and…

    Salude. (pint of Guinness raised)

    My condolences, Ozone. What a horrible thing to have to go through.

    It’s frustrating and frightening to go through any sort medical crises but to do it in an environment where you don’t even speak the language? I can’t imagine.

    Ozone, I am saddened about the loss of your wife and especially the frustrating circumstances in Italy. I lost two brothers to cancer in the last three years, one in hospice care at home and the other in a facility. It’s a terrible thing for the survivors to go through under normal circumstances. Don’t blame yourself.

    Thank you, Snowman. My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your brothers. Yes, it is a terrible thing to endure. My brother is going through this horror now with his wife-

    Thanks for the comments to Joe, Zooey and PA.
