Yes I guess money is King. Not many left dedicated to help for altruistic reasons.

Medical care is skyrocketing in this "free enterprise" system, and

although the waits to be seen by a qualified medic are shorter, they can cost a month's rent in half an hour, and if follow-up surgery is needed, bankruptcy can follow. I guess nobody has it easy in this world.  The poem is great - so much story in so few exactly right words.

Re: Taps

Taps, the best of it is our surgery is still advertising for more patients.

I hope there is a number to call to get you through to someone somewhere quickly. That is certainly a problem. Healthcare needs a lot of thought to make it work efficiently. So sorry about that. I always enjoy your poems.

Can you go in person anywhere to make appointments? It might be less exasperating than hanging on the phone-hold listening to horrible music for 20 or 40 or more minutes.

That proposal just might work if it was offered to Dorothy Parker.

Good afternoon

Free stuff does have a way of being abused. It's crap how it affects people who really need to see a doctor. Due to the COVID, I have had a scheduled appointment cancelled twice by my healtcare professional, and you're right, it's hard to get through to them. The best of luck to you.

That is so awful about your lack of healthcare service.  If a person need care, they need it now, not a year from now.  Ours is getting worse also though.  It is not like it used to be.

Good Afternoon

I'm sorry to hear about your healthcare system.  I'm thankful that during this bout with Covid I was able to call my doctor whenever I needed to.  I'm sure there are a lot of people complaining when they can't get through to their doctor.  I hope they find a way to remedy this problem.  I think if you need your doctor you should be able to get in touch with them.  Hopefully, you are feeling okay.  I thought of you while I've been sick and I wondered if you've been drinking your tea.
