Today's Today

Were you born OK?

Were you properly tended to thru your childhood - immunizations, growth charts, nutrition, etc?

Look up a few nurses and buy them some flowers and some candy and a sports car and a condo.

We go 50 or 60 or 80 years being looked after and comforted and cared for mostly by nurses, and it's the doctors who make all the money and get the fond remembrances written up in the local newspapers when they croak.

Don't get me wrong - docs are in there pullin' hard, and they deserve recognition and reward.

But it's the nurses who carry the heavy end of the boat. Without them, modern healthcare doesn't work for shit. The payoff for them is always more than a little short.
