abundance of caution-...not that i am promoting reckless behavior.. but there comes a point.. where if someone is given a license-- be it medical or police- one should be able to assume that intelligent judgement goes with it. theer is a gap in that system where-----if you work it right you can make a fortune on it... if you do it wrong you land in jail for murder..
i have a scratch on my leg- it was not healing as i thought it should -- and went to "my doctor" at lahey- there are 2 medical systems in boston which involve most everything i know of... "lahey" and "partners" -- basically every hospital around here is associated with /?owned by ? either "system" mass general is a partners hospital.. and they almost fight over patients...
it seems to me anyway-- a business oriented company has seen the financial advantage of "owning" these medical facilities- and they set down rules.....so i had a scratch on my leg-- she saw that-- gave me a script- she also could not consider an odd lump on my elbow--- for that i would need another appointment- she was only allowed one ailment per visit unless i booked a "comprehensive" visit -- but she could take the time to book me with an orthepedic specilist, order bloodwork and an xray, plus an eye appointment-- mostly because she noticed the scotch tape holding my glasses together- and sinci it did not bother me, i better have my eyes exaqmined..in an abundance of caution-----.since it is all medicare what difference does it make?? that abundance of caution is very profitable for the medical profession.\
pity the poor policeman-- if he has an abundance of caution for his life and shoots someone, he is a murderer and lands in jail..

there is anothe "business" not talked about much--colleges being bought up--and closed-- like 50 of them- and teh kids who have spent thousands of $$ on courses are just out of that mioney--someone made money on the backs of that decision-- i do not understand enough about it... but i personally know a few kids who have $10,000 student loans paid to colleges now closed aqnd teh get no credit or refund for time or years...
i briefly googled it and saw one solution... join the military to erase that loan????
there is a big deal there somewhere.
