Show Notes

Between the two of us we could talk about the subject and our sometimes disdain for our healthcare system.  It is because of COVID, many people just don’t care, there are not enough professionals, and the bottom line becomes the key to approving or not approving certain treatments, or maybe just a total realization of lack of a better word - empathy.  This podcast could have gone for hours discussing a few of those problems.  Topics of:

  • Nursing shortage
  • The healthcare system is overtaxed
  • The squeaky wheel gets the grease
  • Either see my daughter or see the police
  • Self-care
  • We need to hold insurance companies accountable
  • Don’t be an a$$hole to the nurses
  • You have to advocate for yourself
  • No practical experience
  • People getting out of the healthcare system
  • Patience and fortitude
  • We need to do better
  • Starts with one person at a time
  • Having a toothache vs having cancer, treatment time!

We don’t subscribe to having the answer to the problem, but we think it starts with patience, respect for others, and self-love - things we preach on both podcasts.  We hope it gets better than worse.  Prayers…..
