Had I known that this long wait was customary I would have searched for an urgent care facility first. Americans have become confused about where to go for care when their doctor is not available. It’s a problem of the insured bumping up against the uninsured who flock to emergency rooms for their medical needs. Obviously our nation’s leaders need to stop bickering and settle on comprehensive health care reform. Confusion anid uncertainty does not breed confidence.

I want to know if my cancer will recur and if so, when and at what stage. My Dad wants to know how being newly MRSA colonized affects his life. My OTHER brother wants to know if depression will undermine his marriage before SSRI sexual side effects will.
