Ever since someone here said they're all the same, I've been eye-ing this one. Funny 'scope, serious question: Any reason not to get it?

Because I'm wondering what unique treatment the ER is going to provide for the 5 conditions he lists in the first paragraph, except that the waiting room is a) in the shade, there's not much to talk about there, c) smoking is prohibited, d) the surfaces should be clean, and e) you can get plenty of rest while you wait. Aren't the treatments of these conditions what was home was invented for? NY Times - June 19, 2006 In an Emergency ... By NEAL FLOMENBAUM, M.D. If you need medical treatment and the problem is acute or urgent but not serious or life threatening — like waking up with a painful sunburn, sore throat, sinusitis, rash or a bad "summer cold" — try to go to an emergency room early in the day. Often, if you can get to an emergency room by 8 or 9 a.m., you can be out in an hour or two. Later in the day you may find yourself waiting much longer as the number of more seriously ill patients being treated in the ER increases. When the problem occurs after the early morning hours, and you are relatively close to several emergency departments, it may be worthwhile to go to the one with a walk-in clinic or urgent care center, sometimes also called fast track. If there is such a facility available, find out its hours since only some walk-in clinics operate around the clock. You may also try to determine the waiting times at the different departments nearby. On the other hand, if you have a potentially serious or life-threatening emergency, ignore all the suggestions above and get yourself to an emergency department. Do not be afraid to call for an ambulance when indicated. A properly equipped ambulance staffed with trained emergency medicine technicians or paramedics can make a tremendous difference in outcome.

My thread's on top again!

Have you noticed that the subject-header for the thread "On Top" (predictably) refers to itself more than it does to any of its contributors? Now that was clever forecasting on the part of its orginator!

That's life, that's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune, When I'm back on top, back on top in June. I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks, Stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down, 'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around... ~ Ol' Blue Eyes (1915-1998)
