Symphony,
Good morning little lady. Thanks for the comment. How are you doing this beautiful Friday morning. It is perhaps neither where you are. I know it is not morning, but I hope the weather is good. You have a great week-end. Be blessed.

Offbeats,
I didn't mean to come off with the appearance that the doctor had priors. I don't know anything of the sort. I was just shocked it was here. Of course, this is America and we do not know if she is guilty. I wonder why the hospital took a year to pull the charts and give it a look.
One of the City papers near by says a nurse drew attention to the fact. It seems she had been in attendance and said the woman was not in pain. I don't know all the facts. If the doctor is innocent her life is ruined, if she is guilty that is horrendous. Thanks and be blessed.

Jack,
Sometimes work affords us a sort of community within large cities. And of course there are so many things to see and do and many advantages we don't have. I always say I can go there and come home. You can do the same, visit the small towns and play local for a while. LOL

I am surprised they would allow a doctor or nurse who has a prior conviction against them. Just shows you never know anymore...but I highly recommend you do not go to that doctor!!

Justso,
I have to completely agree with you there. In the big city people are so used to not knowing those around them that they come home and don't even get to know their own neighbors. And when they go anywhere, all they meet is strangers. It's possible to work around that a little, but for the most part, people reach the point where they are suspicious of anyone who even tries to make conversation in the grocery store checkout line. Not everyone is like that; some are quite pleasant. Unfortunately it is not the majority.
Until I was about high school age, I lived in low population areas. Since then it has been big city. There is no question whatsoever that a small town environment is better. I would like to get back to it myself, but right now it is almost impossible.

No we don't have many drive-by shootings. But really the thing I enjoy most is the good, the bad, the ugly and the other incidentals of us all mix together without giving up respect. It is nice and at times annoying (I am a very private person) to have dinner out anywhere and people come over and say hello or wave. You know almost everyone who comes in and yet you don't know all the knotty of their lives. I like that better than the big city.

Justso,
You are right. I thought about my previous comment after I had posted it, and realized that I was a little off of the point that you were making.
It is difficult to understand the changes in the world that we live in. The ''progress'' of civilization seems to touch us all, no matter where we live. The particular case that you discuss here, fortunately, does not have much direct effect on your life. It only happens to be near you, but it's effect on your life is little different than if it were 500 miles away. A small town is still much better--you don't have too many drive-by shootings on your block. Be heartened by that.

Flightpath, That is precisly what I am thinking. How about
we find another softer, easier place. You know there aren't any. I do envy (not right word) you with only 400 people 'round you to be neighbors, friends, acquaintance etc., even some you may not like as well as others. Still you would help anyone with anything you owned. I want that kindness of mankind to mankind. I wonder if that is a sign of getting old. To bad it takes this long in coming.

Jack, I agree no trial should be settled in the media. It will not be here.
This is a journal post and has more to do with my feelings on how I perceive an issue than what is happening. It took a year for it to be brought to the law anyway. It will be tried properly here, people are pretty laid back. There is more. Thank you for your comment, I do agree with you. I personally do not like the concept of playing with life in the keeping or taking of it. That is my opinion, not what I expect others to adhere to.

Believe me, Justsouno - I can understand your feelings about this because if something like that happened here in my village of a relatively peaceful 400 souls, I'd think about leaving town, too.... for a tent in the wilderness.

Justso,
It seems that the information, unless you have a lot more than is in this post, is a little sketchy on details. If it needs to go to court, that's fine. Let a judge and/or jury decide the case. I see far too many cases that are decided by the media, and the media-influenced public, long before they ever get to court. That sort of thing makes a travesty of our legal system. It reminds me a little too much of the Salem Witch Trials.
