Thanks, he is, but it's important they keep this gal....she accomplishes more than 3 other people and the fellows think so too...She not my favorite person, but I do respect what she does.

Re hospitals in this area....On the east side of Seattle, Bellevue, the 2nd largest city in WA, Overlake is the prime one...what they have done is merge with Group Health (similar to Kaiser in southern WA and NOT (unfortunately) available in the 5 county (heavy populated by Democrats) population. They have also bought up MANY smaller practices with good Docs and put them under the Overlake banner. They have a fairly large clinic in Issaquah, another now bedroom community to Bellevue.....and the other large hospital here is Swedish, with large hospitals in both Seattle and Issaquah to serve both East and West sides of this area (Lake Washington is inbetween the two....) So far the other large hospitals in Seattle, have clinics on the Eastside, and are becoming more specialized...

One of the things we've noted over the years, is that some of the machines of modern medicine are SO expensive and nearly all large hospitals have all of them.....wouldn't it be better and cheaper for maybe each hospital have one or two of the most expensive ones, and the other hospitals have others that are necessary....Surely not everyone has the same need for each one of these several hundred million dollar machines at the same time....or do they?
