I am thinking that maybe you should have called EMS in both situations?

Both could access the problem and give emergency care. I am pretty sure they do ekgs. And they do know the status of the local emergency rooms.

I have to say that my honest opinion is that we left better choices in healthcare behind and that is possibly because so many of us are on Medicare. And....I can't support that argument with any logical explanation.

I am .....confused. It may be that we haven't found the right M.D. yet. The one we have is o.k. but not a perfect fit.

I am confused by a sign in his office that they will not be taking anymore self pay patients. We have insurance but...wonder why they have opted not to accept people who pay for healthcare themselves?

This is the first time we have not lived close to a large teaching hospital and medical school.

We have heard good reports from close friends about hospital care at Sharon Morse but thankfully haven't needed any hospital care. When our grandson had an asthma attack he was immediatly cared for at the hospital emergency room.

Being old doens't put you to the head of the line here, there are a lot of older folks here if you have noticed.
