Dr. Sowell is okay.
Agreed.
Dr Sowell is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned.
If their was a Mt Rushmore for conservative writers, He’s on it.
I wonder if any newspapers in the UK or Canada would run this column? Nah, it might upset the readers.
bttt
“Thank the Lord and our current medical systemm the Dr. Sowell is okay. :-)”
Yes.
His words today are similar to a statement I made awhile back, and again recently in another thread, “This country doesn’t belong to the government”.
We mustn’t forget that. It’s ours, and government works for us, or rather should work for us. It has to all be changed back to the way the Founders designed it to be. Eliminate all the Leftist mischief from our government, and eliminate the mischievous as well.
I am also thankful for our health system as it was pre-Obamacare.
Saw a new doc for periodic monitoring of a long-term condition (nothing interesting for decades).
Referred to another doc the next morning.
Next morning was inside an MRI machine.
Three days later was getting pre-op screening.
Next day in OR.
Three days later in OR again.
Ten days flat from “are you sure you don’t have any symptoms?” to “whew, got that done in time”.
And the whole thing cost a lot less than expected.
Looked healthy enough to any ignorant observer.
Bureaucrats may not have grasped the “lightswitch” nature of the issue, nor that there was pressure on that switch.
There is a God, who cares for fools.
That's what I was going to say - only you said it better... Thank G-d he's better...
AMEN!!!!
And it's just not in Washington. We need to keep vigilant with ALL politicians, even at the state and local level. Case in point: we recently discovered while we were traveling through New York state, that if you need an emergency refill of a prescription from another state, New York law requires the entire prescription to be brought to NY, and to top it off, NY will zero out any remaining refills on that prescription. So, if we tried to take that prescription back to our home state of Florida, it would have no further refills. How New York could take jurisdiction over our personal prescriptions as citizens of another state is beyond me. We ended up calling our doctor, and having him phone in a one-time new prescription to the NY pharmacy.
No wonder medical costs are through the roof. The doctor, the doctor's staff, the pharmacist and the pharmacy staff all had to spend time on this problem. The state of NY basically told us we had no right to manage our refills across state lines. And it's not like it was a controlled substance or anything ... we're talking glipizide here, for goodness sakes.
A government-run medical system would have leapt at the opportunity to allow Dr. Sowell to unfortunately pass away. "It's a terrible loss, but nobody can be blamed ..."
