Our Health Care System Is A Mess

Our health care system is a mess, or at least it is at Orange Coast Memorial Center in Fountain Valley, California

My 16 year old son has had a severe immobilizing headache for 17 days. 2 of those days he was ok only to get hit again and even worse the next day.

We went to the ER five times, to his doc once, the Neurologist twice and chiropractor three times, two CT scans, an MRI and all blood work done. Only on the last trip to the ER did they do a spinal tap. At this point he had missed over 2 weeks of school. All the docs can say is everything looks fine but we’ll give you more drugs to take home.

He’s a healthy kid, plays hockey and surfs a lot. One of the scans was of his neck and spine and all that checked out ok too. He doesn’t do drugs, we spend most of our time together there really isn’t time for him to do them. He really has nothing to be stressed about and I think he would have told me when I asked him. We’re very close and we talk about a lot of things.

Anyway he still had this near crippling headache and we couldn’t figure out why. Go see a doctor get more drugs is all they could do. That is until our last visit to the ER at which time I told the doctor we weren’t going anywhere until someone figured out why this was happening or put a plan in place to figure it out what was going on. This ER doc was the first that took the situation as serious as I took it. (more…)

Scandinavian view of US election

 

 

 

 

 

 

We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?”

I Hasa Hot Dog

I don’t know about you but I love animals. Especially dogs, they’re smarter than 90% of the human race.

With that said I found this blog Ihasa Hotdog that lets you put a caption on a cute picture of a dog.

If you are a dog lover or even just an animal lover in general you have to see this site.

Barack Obama

Just a short simple question.

If Barack Obama is half black and half white why do we not ever hear about the white side? Why is there so much emphasis placed on his ethnicity at all? After all Barack Obama is also white.

Just ask’n

Ok I’ve come back to add to this. As a (half) white man shouldn’t he be offended by Rev. Wright’s comments about white people? As an American Christian shouldn’t he be offended my Rev. Wright’s comment ” America deserved to be attacked on September 11, 2001″?

Race aside, as an American I know I’m offended by the 9/11 comment from the so called “holy man”.

Hockey, Coffee and Stuff!

As for this site it’s been boring for a while, basically just a picture of Keith Richards kissing his guitar and a cheesy Waterpup banner.

My son, my pride and joy Tyler plays for the Los Angeles Jr. Kings and now most of my nights and/or weekends are spent at a hockey rink.

Jr. Kings

He’s also on his high school roller hockey and surf team. His grades are ok and he’s a great kid, picks good friends, plays WAY to much Xbox360 and doesn’t get into trouble. I love him more than anything. Dude is just a little taller than I am and he’s only 16, but I can still beat him up…….lol!!

I just sold a coffee house for a huge loss. Over the past three years I lost my rear end on it to the tune of $100 a day. That equates to $3000 a month. Don’t get me wrong with the exception of the daily loss I did enjoy it. My last two employees were more than I could ever ask for when it comes to a coffee house gig. Stephanie and Fara you two made the last year tolerable. If it weren’t for the dedication you both showed I would have closed up a long time ago. Maybe someday I’ll give it another shot in a better location. We’ll see.
