flawed healthcare system
Everyone has been at the doctor, urgent care, hospital, etc. at one point in their lives and there's nothing worse than when you're not feeling well to deal with more stupidity that you're not up to doing in the first place. The healthcare system in this country is a freaking joke and I don't even have faith that Obamacare is going to make it easier the more I hear about it it's doing more harm than good no one wants to comply and it's just one big clusterf*** of yet more guidelines, more bs, etc. I've never experienced such incompetence today dealing with the healthcare system as I did today starting with being placed on hold for an eternity as if we have the whole freaking day to be on hold, press this # that # how about an actual human being! Another one is the very rude and unprofessional and unaccommodating staff who run these doctor's offices I've said it's urgent i'm feeling very uncomfortable and all of it falls ON DEAF EARS no appointments available for one month maybe even more, or we don't take your insurance, I waited all day for a call back only to be told to come in tomorrow as if I could wait that long. Instead of what's wrong I get what insurance do you have or "we don't take same day appointments" or urgent care centers who take care of every part of the human body except gynecology yet it's supposed to be a one stop shop for busy people yeah right. Over the weekend I caught an infection and a bad reaction to an over the counter contraceptive and I've been extremely uncomfortable so much that I couldn't focusing on getting my work done too much today. After 7 phone calls to clinics near my area and offices here in the city I GOT NO WHERE. I called the company who makes this product only to be told it's a common reaction and to drink a bunch of water which doesn't do much good when urinating makes me feel like I'm pissing out fire. My doctor's office rather call in a prescription to the pharmacy than see you as an emergency (their next appointment August 24) how the heck do you know what to prescribe when you haven't even seen me??? that's pathetic medical care at best so I think this may be a reason to start shopping for a new gyn pratice but I find many practices are full of it. They overbook patients, not enough flexible hours or appointments it's a joke. Healthcare should be about the care and well being of patients but it's a business and the people who run things have lost focus on the patients and the care. Here I am at almost 4:00 still feeling miserable no prescription no appointment only to have to walk to the emergency room near my job after work b/c trying to get an appointment with a regular doctor's office is just like trying to see Mr. Obama himself and trying to get one who has a great bedside manner is another challenge my last visit to NYU ER I saw these residents they were a total joke. The one who saw me had a horrible bedside manner as I end this blog I'm not looking forward to going back to the same emergency room to wait for 3 hours hopefully much less to get treatment b/c no place else is willing to accommodate me yet insurance doesn't want to cover the visits at times, this system is a total flim flam and a joke. The only I hope to achieve at the end of today is have a diagnosis and a presciption to ease my sysmptoms and get better.

Non guilty verdict
The whole country has awaited the verdict in the Travyon Martin case and as I saw the announcement come up not guilty and an intense of feeling anger but shock came over me when these 6 jurors decided that George Zimmerman was not guilty the last time I checked when you kill another human being you serve jail time but apparently the laws in Florida are very different from the rest of the country. Florida is a wonderful place to visit but I'd never live there b/c their laws are some of these most a** backwards and ridiculous I've ever heard of. You allow someone with NO FORMAL law enforcement training or any other kind of training to be a neighborhood watch person simply b/c the gun laws in Florida are so lax that pretty much anyone can go and apply for a license and have a gun. In my opinion that's a very scary thought that can have disastrous consequences and in these communities were racism is very rampant can have the worse outcome with that being said I am in total disbelief that this individual can literally get away with murdering a young African American 17 year old who was unarmed and does the worse thing shoot someone in the chest. I'm not saying he was angel no teenagers are at that age but how can a harmless trip to the store to buy candy result in murder. I'm wondering what was going through this idiot's mind when he saw him hmm black youth with a hoody instant criminal if that were the case they'd have to shoot up the entire northeast and any other urban neighborhood who wear hoodies. A hoody doesn't make someone a criminal their behavior does. Suppose there was a curfew as they are in many states this young man wasn't doing anything criminal. This man was in a car and had a gun, if he felt he was in so much danger he had the upper hand to speed away and call police and let them handle it but he calls 911 and ignores the 911 operator's instructions and pursues him most gets into a physical altercation and then shoots him in the back for what the world will never know b/c he chose not to take the stand. This is a gross miscarriage of justice this man needs to be in jail he took Trayvon Martin away from his family way too soon his parents will never have the chance to see him grow up and live his life and to lose a child they say a pain that never really goes away. He may not have gotten convicted of any crime in the legal system but in the court of public opinion he will always be guilty and he's marked for life b/c of a split decision he chose to make that changed his life and the life of the Martin family forever. I hope the Martin family will find peace to go on with their lives and his brother's speech in my opinion was a half baked attempt to do damage control for his brother's ridiculously stupid actions. I saw the way he smiled when the verdict was read and I found it to be so disturbing you killed another human being and you got off. Not guilty means they either couldn't prove it or the police and lawyers have a great way of presenting cases so people see their version not the actual truth doesn't mean you didn't do it. I have no respect for this man and he has to live with the fact that he took someone else's life for the rest of his life. I sometimes think they should've had a change of venue for this case perhaps maybe it would've made a difference but based on how I've seen the Florida justice system handle this case, the casey Anthony case, and many others I doubt it very much.
