I know because I wrote about them recently in a regional magazine. The Poudre Valley Hospital System was the ONLY winner of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award from Congress last year...now there's a scarier thought! If this is the best, we are all in trouble! --Laura Lee Lia:

Do you live in a big city or small town? Sounds like a string of incompetents (and I use the noun referring to the medical professionals)...I hope despite all the frustration that Mike is improving. Scary situation, one that makes me even more fearful of aging. Too scary. Do you live in a big city or small town?

They are often looking backwards, over their shoulder, in fear of litigation from disgruntled patients should they do anything indefensible. extra useless tests are ordered to diffuse the liability. treatment is not improved and we recieve less than stellar service while our costs continue to rise. perhaps our rising health care costs are more of a legal/insurance industry problem than a medical problem. Blessed with excellent health, Brad it has been my experience that the medical community, far too often, is guided by fear of the insurance industry and related legal community than bye the patient’s needs. They are often looking backwards, over their shoulder, in fear of litigation from disgruntled patients should they do anything indefensible. extra useless tests are ordered to diffuse the liability. treatment is not improved and we recieve less than stellar service while our costs continue to rise. perhaps our rising health care costs are more of a legal/insurance industry problem than a medical problem.
Blessed with excellent health,
