Healthcare Critic

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Tolerance. Understanding. Trust. Hope. Faith. Forgiveness. Empathy. Not only spiritual values, but also milestones on the road to peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Your ways are not our ways, but we strive for your righteousness and peace.
Your ways are not our ways, but we strive for your mercy and forgiveness.
Your ways are not our ways, but we strive for your faithfulness and grace.
Your ways are not our ways, but we strive for your justice and love.
Your ways are not our ways, but we ask you to mold us ever more in your image.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“How many reindeer can land on the head of a pin?”

[Just kidding. He never said it.]

D. Blog: A Silent Critic of US Healthcare

A woman dies of heart failure at age 66. Tests in the hospital before she died showed that she had experienced mini-strokes and two heart attacks at some points in the past. Family and friends were shocked because she seemed to be in excellent health and took good care of herself. A nephew revealed that she had worked in a doctors’ office for many years before her retirement at age 62, but she never went to a doctor for her own health care.

Someone asked the nephew, “Some kind of fear?”

“Sure. She knew some doctors, so she wanted no part of their treatment.”
