Kaiser Excitement

Kaiser Excitement

The big excitement of this Monday is that I have spent a goodly part of it at the downtown office of my HMO. I have a badly infected leg wound and have since been nominated as the poster child of Don’t Pick Scabs. Right now I’m waiting in line for my anti-gross drugs, going on hour two because the doc sent my scrip to the wrong pharmacy. I only wish he had sent my fever and cold sweats there, too. At least I have my Sidekick II.

    Ah, a demonstration of the superiority of American private healthcare. Not like those evil European socialized medical systems where you have to wait and stuff.

    Hope you’re feeling better soon.
