When it Works, it Works

The last two visits, from the Health Care Nurses, has really been good. Belinda is her name, and so far, she's the best so far. No rushing, and always seems to have time to listen to Mom. Now don't get me wrong, the other nurses that have been here, have been good, but on a scale of 1 to 10, this one is a 10.

And it should be.

Now the first who came, was good too, and would be an 8.5 or 9 out of 10, which is still damn good. Thing is, when dealing with the elderly, time spent now, means easier time in finding the issues. This is where Belinda excelled at, as she spent the most time.

Granted, the issue that brought them out, has seemed to stabilize now, but it makes you wonder, about those who can't afford health insurance, such as in the USA. How do they cope with such issues, because I know this. If I had to do something to get Mom the help she needed, I would resort to anything, to get her the help.

That is what not having a national health plan, or having a health care system that is for the wealthy, not those who need it, does. It spurs crime, and I don't know, but that just seems so wrong for a society that is supposed to be based on Jewdio-Christian Ethics.

I don't quite get it, anymore. Yet we call ourselves the civilized ones.
