Here in the United States, medical doctors are more concerned with avoiding lawsuits than they are about providing quality medical care to their patients. At least, this is what I've come to believe after having been in the healthcare system all of my life. Just today, when I went to my doctor to get the results back from an ultrasound, I was given some pathetic hypothesis about what it could be. She obviously has no idea what's going on and I am seriously considering going to another doctor for a second opinion (not that she gave much a first opinion). There was a time when doctors did everything possible to achieve the best care for their patients, and it's about time we went back to that value system- when quality of work and integrity was valued far more than money.

Airports
@ 2008-04-02 – 21:04:07
I went to the airport to drop off my darling boyfriend Gavin at the airport and I have to say that airports can be both joyful and sometimes sorrowful. It's only natural for me to be sad to see him leave, but I am mature enough to understand and accept that this is how it must be, at least for the time being. I have to focus on my studies and get a part-time job whilst he does what he has to do as well. I've had a few hours alone now to think about things, and still, he is so very much all that I've ever hoped for in a man and so much more. So, in a few more months, I hope, I will be waiting approximately two hours early for him to arrive at the gate. I will be waiting with open arms for my darling.
