It just looked too crazy to be true.<BR/><BR/>In the last two years I've had a lot dealing with the health system in Israel (my own health condition, and my wife's pregnancy), and I'll just say this: The doctors seem to genuinely care about their patients. The system isn't perfect, but you can get the treatments you need, and the coverage is generally broad enough. I'll take the <I>kupot</I> system of the States' health care system any day.<BR/><BR/>bonecrusher: that is hysterical!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314897574215489135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1169714838699997832007-01-25T10:47:00.000+02:002007-01-25T10:47:00.000+02:00Another example of everyone jumping to conclusions...Another example of everyone jumping to conclusions, a tone I echo in the post I wrote this morning.

It is circa 1986 and is rife with bugs. Apparently it saves the ls reason for absence and adds it to the next patient's sick note. <BR/><BR/>I was in a rush and only when my office manager asked did I notice that my reason for absence was "accute vaginitus". <BR/><BR/>Not an easy thing to explain.BoneCrusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889348715855257118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1169662789092057132007-01-24T20:19:00.000+02:002007-01-24T20:19:00.000+02:00at least the doctor is not president of the countr...at least the doctor is not president of the country. what an irresponsible media!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1169655079494662372007-01-24T18:11:00.000+02:002007-01-24T18:11:00.000+02:00they ought to be sued.Big Time!they ought to be sued.<BR/>Big Time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1169648294110815362007-01-24T16:18:00.001+02:002007-01-24T16:18:00.001+02:00I got that email and did not believe it.
