I happen to play some pick up basketball games at one of the local hospitals in the area as we were getting ready to do battle (yes, I said battle I had my chin split open during today's game) I step out to use the restroom while on my I passed an office. As I passed this office a young lady had enter and joyfully announced their patient was up. I must say my first reaction was, "if your patient count is up, how could that be good news? It means someone is hurt!" This served as a great reminder that hospitals are in business. Hospitals are trying to earn a buck. Is there anything wrong with this, absolutely not! But just a warning that we the people need to be aware and do our research when seeking out treatments in hospitals.
Oh, and as an interesting spin the Early Show had a wonderful report entitled "Haggle Your Way to Lower Health Care Bills" click the link below:
