U.S. Life Expectancy Down

 As Covid winds down you may be wondering how America fared compared to other nations around the world.  Let me put it this way, ten of the 21 nations in the survey I saw  recentlyactually gained a slight amount of life expectancy.  The U.S. lost 2.1 years.  Why is this important?  Because money doesn't mean anything if you're dead.  We need to get healthier as a country, it's as simple as that.

Trapped Into Wrong Medicine

 We're not surprised when the 911 ambulance takes you to your town's hospital.  After all, it's your town's hospital, right?  What you may not know is that once you're checked in there you can't go to any other hospital.  That's right, even if you've had the same procedure done at a hospital just outside your town's border less than two years ago, you can't go back to your old doctor.  No matter how incompetent the doctor is at your town's hospital, you're trapped.

This was a surprising revaluation I just learned when a family member suffered a broken hip.  Fortunately it appears this will turn out fine but I know of another case where the surgeon used the wrong size hardware and the entire operation had to be done over weeks later.  I'm sure you can appreciate all of the pain and suffering involved with having TWO operations instead of one.

I'm sure this policy was created to protect the smaller, less qualified hospitals from losing all of their customers to the bigger, newer facilities but the price is one we all pay by our ignorance.  It's unfair and it's not right.  Until the laws get changed we're all facing this situation.

These are the little surprises awaiting all of us in American healthcare today.

The Natural Way

Not long ago one of my doctors wanted to give me a prescription and I said "No", thank you.  I asked him exactly what did I need to improve in my blood chemistry and he told me.  Then I came home and researched all of the foods that I could add to my diet which would boost my bloodwork.  I just got the results of my latest body chemistry and talked with the doctor and he was absolutely amazed at how perfect it all was now.  Apparently he hasn't dealt with many patients who prefer to do things the natural way!  

Before popping another pill from your doctor with lots of side effects ask what he's trying to correct and specifically what you can do to help the situation naturally.  You'll probably have to do your own research into what foods you'll need to add to your diet but believe me, it's worth it.  Your body knows what to do with foods, not so much artificial chemicals created by pharmaceutical companies.

Take better care of your body and you'll enjoy the results!

Reservation Desk Warning

 Be very careful when you do anything on the Internet today.  Fraud and rip-offs are everywhere.  For example, a website at ReservationDesk.com has staff with English skills so poor they are inept and incompetent at their job of making hotel reservations.  When customers realize the mistakes that have been made and try to cancel ReservationDesk claims the hotel won't refund the money so they get to keep their piece of the prize and the customer loses hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars.

Yes, if you do a Google search for ReservationDesk the second listing is "ReservationDesk.com Scam" which should be a warning if you're not using your phone to make the reservation.  

BE CAREFUL!

Free Book, Maybe

 Hopefully my novella ebook will be available FREE February 11-15 this year (2022).  I say hopefully because it seems that Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system has some new rules.  One of them seems to say if I don't raise the price of my novella to at least $2.99 then I can't offer it as a FREE promotion.  Does that make sense to anyone?  

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my novella called SUSAN'S SEARCH!
