Alternatively, I'm so tired of seeing patients who need rehab after surgery and instead of staying in the hospital, they're offsited to some shitty nursing home where rehab may, or may not, happen once a day.

Stop signing up for "low cost" MA plans.

Bought too many apples at the farmers market. What's a girl to do?

Another event I never learned in history class?

Thank you for posting. I'll be spending the afternoon finding material about this.
