I'm off to my role as a health care practitioner where after 40 years of experience, a degree and licensure… I get what should be minimum wage to address some of these folks. I will likely in part run across these folks featured here… obese, sleep apnea, end stage disease alike.

I have to tell you…. they're so happy to be directed by their magic insurance cards exactly who they can see, what the cause of their problems are and what test they can have to address the long term effect of what their lifestyle caused... smoking, obesity and industry related health problems. Best of all… grandma is out of their hair. Damn! They didn't get any of HER estate, as it was all absorbed within her meager estate.

Maybe their kid will bail them out!

Hey… Where's Ricky Lake these days, anyway?
