The Hospital Bill #13

THE HOSPITAL BILL
A poor Jewish man lived alone in a small apartment in a
large apartment buildibng in a Catholic part of town, He was friendly to all, but just barely had enough to get by.


One day he got very ill...Some neighbors across the hall
became worried and they took him to the local Catholic hopital.
The staff and the sisters at the hospital took great care of him and he recovered rather quickly.
. As he was released, Mr Rabinowitz was given an envelope which
contained the hospital bill.
Mr Rabinowitz said, " I live alone, and have no money, and I cannot afford this $20,000 bill."
The sister says go upstairs to the sixth floor and talk to the Mother Superior...

He goes up stairs and says, "I live alone and got
nothing, there is no way I can pay this bill."

The Mother Superior says,
"Well do you have any relatives?", ....He says, " I have a sister
who converted to be a Catholic and she has nothing, she is nun
lives in a convent, and she lives in poverty." "I am saddened by her
actions," He concludes...............................................................

The Mother Superior became indignant, and says, "Your
sister is a wonderful woman has given much to all, and she is married to Jesus"...

Mr. Rabinowitz thinks a moment and
says," Well, ...Send the bill to my brother- in- law."

7 Reasons America's Mental Health Insudstry is a Threat to Our Sanity

Drug industry corruption, scientifically unreliable diagnoses and pseudoscientific research have compromised the values of the psychiatric profession.

Why do some of us become dissident mental health professionals?

The majority of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals “go along to get along” and maintain a status quo that includes drug company corruption, pseudoscientific research and a “standard of care” that is routinely damaging and occasionally kills young children. If that sounds hyperbolic, then you probably have not heard of Rebecca Riley, and how the highest levels of psychiatry described her treatment as “appropriate and within responsible professional standards.”

When Rebecca Riley was 28 months old, based primarily on the complaints of her mother that she was “hyper” and had difficulty sleeping, psychiatrist Kayoko Kifuji, at the Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, diagnosed Rebecca with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Kifuji prescribed clonidine, a hypertensive drug with significant sedating properties, a drug Kifuji also prescribed to Rebecca’s older sister and brother. The goal of the Riley parents—obvious to many in their community and later to juries—was to attain psychiatric diagnoses for their children that would qualify them for disability payments and to sedate their children making them easy to manage

At the age of four, Rebecca was dead.

At the time of her death, Rebecca had a life-threatening amount of clonidine—enough to kill her—in her body, according to the former director of the Massachusetts toxicology lab and the medical director of a regional poison control center. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy concluded that Rebecca died from intoxication of clonidine, Depakote and two over-the-counter cold and cough medicines that led to heart failure, lungs filled with bloody fluid, coma, and then death. Rebecca’s abusive parents went to prison for the over-drugging that led to their daughter’s death.

Kifuji’s fate? The psychiatric establishment rallied around Kifuji, enabling her to return to Tufts Medical Center practicing child psychiatry without any restrictions, penalties or supervision.

Bachmann was used by PUKE BOSSES

The Puke Boses.. thought there would be a so called ...."fatal lull" ..if it were a Romney ..show all along..

... So the PUKE BOSSES funded a buch of less then knowledgeable pukes to keep things exciting. BACHMAN, CAIN ETC...

What the Bosses and Fat Cats who funded this , did not know, was that funding these creeps, and having a weekly show, would create a clown car that would ride through the nation, week after week, showing the rest of us, how wrong these people really are. and guess what...???

it is too late to call the clown car back..it is gone
..., the weekly debates are gone..but..
the memory lingers on..and on..and on..and on.....and on......
yes it does.. and it will linger..till...the first week in November

No matter how hard the Puke Bosses try to kill the thought.
....... most people will remember some of this spectacle..
......................what a show indeed.........................

and I believe..in November, most people will vote for Obama because..just look back and see what was,

A Rabbi and a Priest on a Trainride from NYC to Philadephia PA. #12

Message body





A priest and a rabbi found themselves sitting next to each other on train ride from NYC to Philidelphia PA.

After a while, the priest opened a conversation by saying, "I know that in your religion you're not supposed to eat pork. Have you actually ever tasted it?"

The rabbi said, "I must tell the truth. Yes, I have, on the odd occasion."

Then the Rabbi had his turn of interrogation. He asked, "Your religion, too... I know you're suposed to be celibate, but...?"

The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to ask. I have succumbed once or twice."

There was silence for a while.....



Then the Rabbi peeped around the newspaper he was reading and said,....



"Better than pork, isn't it?"
