We are fascinated by the ongoing rise of Fibromyalgia as the latest “must have” designer disease diagnosis so all those ghostly aches and pains and emotional ills and valleys can finally be validated by the medical community by writing a prescription; but the most disturbing trend is in the purposeful use of ADHD as a valid excuse for unrestricted bad behavior.
We have loved Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and defended him as president — but as a president, he is clearly immediately failing us all — and thus flunking the world. Because of his obscene failures on healthcare, the economy, the war, and terror, he has fully owned his public mocking.
We need a fair and sustainable national healthcare system in the United States. People are suffering while insurance companies, hospitals, and other animated fat cats reap the benefits from the weak and infirm while the families of the sick line up for bankruptcy court.
“Nosocomial” means “hospital acquired” and few people believe you can get infected by bacteria lurking in a hospital. We are often of the notion that hospitals and medical offices are always sanitary and cleaned every day. Sometimes, though, other patients can infect us with their ills when we visit our doctors. When your hospital makes you sicker, you have a nosocomial infection.
