I can't stress how important this is.
Talk with your loved ones as often as possible.
The "Who Gives A Sh@@" mentality of the society that we live in has brought to this country to new heights in the levels of incompetence.
My daughter is 20 years old and lives on her own in Florida. I call her every day. It may bother her, but I care.
Yesterday morning I called her and she told me that she was on her way to the doctors office. A free standing facility, that her insurance company had recommended for her problem. I told her that I will call her back in a couple of hours to see how the doctors visit went. When I called her back, she was in the parking lot of the doctors office ready to go home, and I could tell that she was crying. I asked her to tell me what happened. She told me that the doctor walked into the office and did not examine her and told her not to waste his time and to get the hell out of his office. The doctor also told her that there are people dying to see him.
I told her not to go home and to go back into the office and to demand that one of the doctors in that office see her to diagnose her problem. And also to tell that doctor that she doesn't want to be in her death bed before she gets treatment. Another doctor eventually checked for the problem and sent her to the hospital for a simple emergency procedure. It turns out that her uterus was full of coagulating blood. Had she gone home like the first doctor demanded she would have gone into shock and died in her sleep of Toxic Shock Sydrome.
Thank God, she was released from the hospital last night, and is doing well. She's getting hormone treatment to prevent the problem from recurring.
