wow huh.  thanks to http://66.17.18.112/flashcode/userRegister.do for giving me the DRG codes.

actually it was mayo who came up with the codes.  it was the website above that gave me the meaning of the codes.  i used to have a DRG book on my desk at work when i worked at staff builders/medicare unit.  anyway, the cost of having such a complicated health life is over $30,000 (and i'm sure i haven't received all of the bills yet) for that week, well 4 days in the hospital.

something's gotta change.

i just wanted to post these songs.  enjoy them.

just got home from rochester, mayo clinic.  things went well, as expected.  only saw the doctor for about 10 minutes.  drove 184 miles to do that.  and i didn't learn anything new.  i know i need to get results from my tests faxed down here.  i'll call tomorrrow and have them do it.

gonna smoke a pipe.  i'll be right back.

well, don't this feel nice.  i love this pot i got.  a pinch will do ya.  really.  4 tokes out of this shit and i'm buzzed.  almost high, but able to work and conduct business like driving.  i wouldn't do it myself since i cant see at night.  anyway, theresa my sister would never let me drive her van.  why i have no idea.  but during the day would be the only time i could do it.  anyway, what was i saying.

oh yeah, healthcare.  jee, that's a load of comment.  the bottom line is that the heathcare system we have now would work with just a few adjustments.  they've got the right idea, they're just not going about it the right way.  and they=mercyexecs.  i should have a letter written to him.  tell him about mercy home care, and the wonderful relationship i used to have with them.  then this whole suicide thing got in the way.  they asked me about it, expecting me to stop posting.  well, sorry, but if i wanna post, i'm gonna post.  i will not be coerced into doing anything that someone else is wanting.  there's just a few people on this earth that are capable of bossing me around.  really.  that's not dillusional, nor is it truthful in it's disclaimer.  but there are other, more important things, left to change.

1.  make paper a thing of the past.  you're on the tip of going completely paperless.  that's nearly a million right there.  

2.  make the 24 hr 422-7777, the healthline, a person with full  access to patient records.  then they'll not waste time by asking the trivial stuff.  i use healthline a lot, and i would expect their computers being capable of doing visual conversation, via webcam, and it'l cut your travel expenses by almost 50%.

3.  there should be a 3rd item, but i cant think of what it would be.  ok.  i hear ya. more tits.  ok.  so where shall we go?

4.  oh ya.  chicago.  it's a 800 mile trip.  but well worth it.  i'm sure the scene has changed over the years.  i used to live there.  3 times i did apartments.  2z going with a 'friend'.  he had every-thing a man could want.  and then some.  let's just say a really handsome gent.

%2010%

that's how i time myself.  from one to another %% pair.

did you realize that it took 7 tabs before i landed in this text box.  please make it the 2nd.  thank you for listening, google.
