Yada Yada / The Off Topic Arena

i am relatively new here so i hope it is understandable that i am still on a learning curve. if i understand you correctly rye, you are saying if something has the possibility of turning into an argument then it is not allowed in this secction of the forum? so what section of the forum is it allowed in? everything here has the possibility of becoming contentious i would think.

so it is fine with me if you just move this to where you think it belongs. i started this thread and it has been informative for me and i have enjoyed the input of the other posters. i don't read anything so far in the thread as being argumentative or insulting. i really don't think it is my responsibility to move this to another section and wait to see if you will approve of that or not. can you just move it to where it belongs? you don't even need to tell me where because it makes no difference to me as long as we can continue the thread as long as there is interest in it. thanks!

 

Why the need to be so negative - the poster may have been describing his experience in comparison with yours and that does not mean accusing you of anything.

In where you live and how you write here, you do show similarities to Osodelnorte (?an ex member) - are you related?

 

ah miss caranoche, i am rushing to reply to your post and delaying my dinner to do so. i am not calling you a liar, but perhaps misinformed, perhaps the victim of poorly trained hospital employees or more likely students or perhaps having expectations that cannot be met.

i am not a fan of american healthcare. i started there in a small country hospital as a radiology technician and over the next fifty years worked in that capacity, some lab technician duties, a first responder, an orderly, a hospital administrator in both large and small hospitals, a long term care administrator and finally as a registered nurse.

with the exception of government functions, nothing is as convoluted or confusing as healthcare (IMHO). it is easy for me to presume you are a victim of that.

this is only the second time i have seen the worl "liar" in print here. ("idiot" a little more frequently) i personally discourage raw emotion here. hopefully we can see a bond in our common status as guests here. i have been helped a lot by advice here and try to offer help when i can.

i have to guard against letting my blood get up sometimes here, but i always try to relax, take a deep breath, and accept the fact that none of us are going to change anything as one of the posters recently reminded me by posting a picture of the world before and after i voiced my opinion. (no change could be see in those before and after pics)

so, please take a deep breath, allow me to apologize if i left the wrong impression with you, and lets start over!
