Okay, people got what they deserved.  Stay home in protest and you get the mess you asked for.

Me, I spent the day trying to get a second opinion from a highly recommended doctor – a really nice guy. And after years of seeing doctors I know how to separate bull from data.  So ultimately I left with a referral to another specialist and a growing suspicion of the medical profession.

What I did learn today was that the hospital is crowded with people who look like they’re not terribly sick.  That it’s almost back to normal.  Even the coffee counters are working. I’ve spent so much time in this hospital I feel I can feel its pulse.  Maybe that’s why I feel I can read when a doctor knows what he’s saying and what he’s not saying. 

Maybe that’s why I feel I know about how the elections are going and what they mean.
