THAT is scary!! But, I know it happens. Helicopter insurance? Wow, didn't know they had that but living far away from a decent hospital it makes sense. I feel sorry for those that can't afford it.
I just chatted with Phil on FB (it IS useful every now and then). He says THANK YOU and it means a lot to him to know that you and Becks send your best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery. He said he can log in, but can't post on his mobile.
SOME people have a choice in hospitals, that is. Rural USA? We are screwed. One hospital if you can't afford (either due to time or injury) to drive 3 hours. Most avoid it like the plague as you'll most likely catch it there anyway! No joke. They were just sued and lost for having someone show up with classic symptoms of bacterial meningitis and they sent her to the psychologist.
Sad but not uncommon. The select few who can afford it here pay for additional helicopter insurance.

so true!! Our hospital has changed the food drastically - it's now much more like room service. You call them and order when you want to eat! What an idea - no more food sitting there waiting for you and all cold because you were out of the room for some test or something when they brought it. And I've heard that it's actually pretty tasty as well. Hospitals finally figured out that people have a choice in where they go and food is a major complaint so they are making a change for the better. That only took how long?

Just saw an update from Phil and he needs bypass surgery, which is being done on Monday. He has to stay in the hospital through the weekend. He took a picture of his dinner though, and I have to say, food in the hospital sure has improved a lot! He seems in pretty good spirits considering. I wish him all the best and a full and speedy recovery!
