"Is There a Doctor in the House?"

"Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly."

Let's just sum up this blog post.

AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS

I hate doctors and their offices and their bills.

This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular.

We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us.

I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience.

It has been mine for years.

I had a good doctor once.

If you want good medical services it will cost you.

Remember when you could just go to a doctor?

Now you have to make an appointment months in advance.

If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care.

If you are experiencing an emergency, go to the hospital emergency room.

While you are there, sell a kidney because you will need the money to pay all those bills that will start coming in.

This past flu season was the worst!

There were many reported cases but those were the ones who went to the doctor for a diagnosis. Everyone else knew what they had and stayed home.

My toddler had the flu and the Tamiflu was going to be over $100.

That kid wont eat dinner!

How am I going to get him to take medicine?

I could just throw $100 out the window on my way home.

Sometimes I just want us to start over.

Let's get a real doctor in here to fix this situation.

What Would Doctor Who Do?

30 January 2018 - Scotch Woodcock Two Ways...and more

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste. This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
