Way Too Old For This Yet Here I Am!!

FACT: My own mother was sent to the hospital by her physician because of her labs. I took her in and they reran the labs. The ED MD told me she was in acute leukemia. She had 2 units of PRBC’s running in-1 in each arm. They had to transfer her to another facility that had a hemoncologist on staff.

Her situation was grim.

Long story short, she survived. It was a side effect of a medication.

The ambulance company tried to bill her because it “wasn’t a medical necessity”!!

“She had a unit of packed red blood cells running into each arm at the same time, was I supposed to throw her into the back of my SUV and drive her there myself?”

“Oh No! They would NEVER have allowed that!!”

“SOOOOOOOO IT WAS A MED I CAL NE CÊS I TY??”

“I’ll put the request back in!”

So I found this CD on the street today on my way to work, right? So I decided I’d bring it home and listen to it.

Change the Rules — Save the World

By: Greta Thunberg (via TEDx)

Date: December 12, 2018

More: #FridaysForFuture is a movement that began in August 2018, after then 15 year-old Greta Thunberg sat in front of the Swedish parliament every school day for three weeks to protest for climate change. Greta’s movement has since become global — with students across the globe protesting outside their local city halls… and today is the latest #ClimateStrike. 

It’s happening NOW — and you can play a part.
