"we need one large metropolitan area to go through a meltdown" New Orleans wasn't enough? Sure it was caused by a natural disatster, but i don't think the meltdown of that city has helped anyone or caused any changes. Why should another meltdown matter? anon: 7:20. “we need one large metropolitan area to go through a meltdown” New Orleans wasn’t enough?

Large public hospital closes, goes bankrupt/etc. demostrating what happens when patients are insulated from the costs of their care. <br/><br/>I feel genuine pity for the ER staff at Grady and other places because I know what they are going through. The desire to serve and do right contrasted with the need to stay sane and provide for their families. The only good solution to this is personally, do not chose EM or IM/FM as a career. The front lines are the worst. Insulate yourself until the bean counters who are in control come up with a better solution. <br/>b I feel sick for saying or thinking this, but we need one large metropolitan area to go through a meltdown.
