46. The real question

Mon Oct 7, 2024, 09:37 PM

Oct 2024

The real question is: "Why is our healthcare system so poor that a critical patient has to share facilities with all these other people?" It was not like this 50 years ago. I'm old enough to remember.

I hope you recover soon and get to eat some comfort food in a cozy bed at home.
