I agree.

I had lunch with my friend that sill works for my old company. Unfortunately

we didn't talk about this even though it was the top of the list to discuss!

We hadn't seen each other in a while and you know how it goes...

I will send her an email with my thought just to be sure I am on the right

track,

Thanks Jill...

Sometimes I feel so guilty for not .....D O I N G.... (it doesn't matter what

.... just doing) Know what I mean?

I am sure it comes from all the years of work with deadlines, numbers and

bosses to deal with.

LOL!

I just sent Jackie an email... I will send something out when I get

confirmation that I am on the up to date track.

I am pleased that you got to spend time with your friend this way Debbi,

it's healthy and I am sure you had fun.

When you hear from her again, I wonder if you might ask her (but you likely

know the answer already!) if this document changes treatment that is in the

works, like if you present to the ER with something, aren't able to be

heard, can this help pave the way to better treatment or does it offer

grounds for action where there has been a violation is there any recourse

in the hospital setting immediately or not?
