I am up watching the late night news and painting my fingernails all while typing this in on my blog. Multi-tasking at it's best. Well I have been in a extra cranky mood the last few days care to guess why? Yup PMS! Who came up with PMS and how did it become a "syndrome"? I find it funny how having gas has become irritable bowel syndrome, leg twitches or falls asleep you have restless leg syndrome and your kid has a temper tantrum guess what he/she has ADHD/ADD. I wonder if the drug companies sit around a table, like writers do on a sit-com, and throw out names....hmmmmmm (this is me imagining it goes like this)
Bob......"How about irritable skin syndrome!(naming unexplained rashes)......... Jane......"Yeah I like that! Oh how about epidermititusability (epi-dermi-titus-ability) syndrome EDTAS as the acronym! ......... Sounds silly but probability true .....
I try to do the natural thing first. I don't like taking medicine unless my Dr. makes me. She short, bossy and scares me a little bit. So I'm watching the news and they are talking about the Health Care Reform that President Obama is trying to get passed. As someone who has been insured by the military (active duty & dependant) employer provided insurance (which I pay for), medicaid (state/gov assistance) and not having any at all.... I have an unusual perspective at least I think I do.
When I was active duty I could go to my local TMC (troop medical center) and get treatment for free. It was fast and efficient. It was staffed by medics who were in training and some Dr's who where keeping skills sharp. The question I pose is why can't civilians do that? Staff it with Dr's who need clinic hr's and have med students there learning the basics.... I'm just saying
Speak on it .......
