I respect your intuition on that, and it’s a natural reaction, but rural healthcare in our state is pretty bad. I get to see a lot of those facilities in my day to day business, and it’s a pretty big eye opener when you compare them to what we’re used to in Lex-Lou-NKY.

Those EMS guys probably save a lot of lives by making the drive to Lexington/Louisville (and also make a lot of $$ for the runs).

They’re also often bound by insurance policies etc to not drive above 65, (ir)regardless.

I mean, your rural community hospitals are there to handle bread and butter health problems. Anything remotely complicated gets shipped to the big hospitals.

That’s not accurate.

Plus, Medicaid reimbursements. They’re not letting anything go that they don’t absolutely have to.

Correct, also the Medicare premiums for procedures at rural hospitals are slowly disappearing...as will rural hospitals.

Non-healthcare randoms...

-Intrigued by this Georgetown/Duke matchup tonight. I think Duke wins by double digits, but I could see it still tight at the under-4:00 timeout mark. Omer Yurtseven is a vet who can bang with Carey, and GU's backcourt doesn't mess around. If you haven't seen that honk guard for Georgetown(yes, I said that right), you should check him out. It's a bit startling to see a caucasian in a Hoya uniform(he and Nate Lubick are the only two I can think of in the past 35 years), but he can really play.

-Speaking of honk guards, guess I underestimated Nico Mannion. Knew he'd be good, but I thought pubs putting him 1st Team AA were way overestimating his impact. I still think other guards are better, but he's strong, and fun to watch.

-Watched a few minutes of UCLA/Hofstra last night and saw some nice offensive possessions for UCLA, and traditional Cronin toughness on the defensive end and the glass. Thought to myself "well, maybe Cronin will get them into the tourney this year after all." Woke up to see that they lost to Hofstra. So yeah.

-Only 10 hours until we see Rupp Arena empty seat pics. Can't wait.

-Youngest is pumped about "Frozen II". Oldest is a teenager so she's not pumped about ANYTHING BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS TERRIBLE. I'm pumped about "Richard Jewell". I think that film looks outstanding.

-Late.

Based on what I see around town, NKY is basically going to be one giant hospital by 2025.

basically this but with a giant St. E’s or Christ logo on it:

Nico was & is nasty. Trae Young should have taught you not to judge by looks.

-Mac McClung [smoke] What a freak man, can't even imagine his legend back home.

Brian Kelly was a part of the Hoyas rotation in 90/91 and 91/92. He was a juco transfer from Cincinnati State. Wasn't great, but he played a lot.

Don't forget nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and senior living facilities.

The biggest difference is message boards are typically people with, for the most part, the same interest. Twitter is everything under the sun.
Generally on Twitter you follow people with like interest too. Your twitter timeline only consists of people you follow.

If Twitter were the American healthcare system, you would follow as many annoying trolls, losers and weirdos as possible, just so you can block them.

Every time I go to the DMV, Wal Mart, an amusement park, large outdoor concert festival, or sporting event, I look around at the crowd and think......"wow, the health care in this country is amazing."


You see a lot of bad health 'management" evidence in those places as well

And sometimes people's choices override their options - and even the quality of and access to- healthcare

I think it's really more of the preventive angles -- the public health / behavioral epidemiology component that's TRULY bad

But.....there are healthcare systemic issues on more than one front as well


just sent my final undeniable piece of documentation for the Lexington move - still can't believe that I'm going to be there ....living......and.........interacting and stuff

So - just quick opinions on which one of these places you'd move to in the order of "overall best place to live"

Paris
Georgetown
Hamburg
Richmond
Manchester


These are the 5 'sub locations' that we've been directed to and have used for real estate searches etc

What does the physical appearance of someone have to do with the health care system?

I just hope that those ambulance services shop Kroger so that they can save using Kroger fuel points. I would think they use a lot of fuel making all of those runs.

If you still want some land, then Hamburg drops to the bottom.

Focusing on the places where you can actually get a few acres, Georgetown and Paris are going to be the "nicest" places on the list, but Richmond probably has more conveniences than those two.

Georgetown is probably the best compromise between location, conveniences, and value

Pretty sure I was supposed to drive down to Atlanta and do mescaline with Wyvern when I was in college, but couldn't make it. Might have to grab a beer in Lexington, instead

Or...

  1. You'd have to make an appointment to post, login at the specified time, wait 45 minutes to an hour, type what you want, then have a pop-up block your post advising that your plan doesn't allow for that message and you need to try another post first.
  2. If that doesn't work you'll need to try several other alternative posts first before you can finally post what you really needed to post in the first place. This will usually occur after several administrative appeals and phone calls from your TwitterDoc to TweetHealthGlobal, Inc.
  3. Once a post is approved and typed you'll need to pay per character, per message. Per TweetHealthGloblal, Inc.'s terms of service: "Per Character Pricing will be established on a tiered basis. Each message will be evaluated by TweetHealthGlobal, Inc. after your post to determine your tier level and per-character charge. It is within TweetHealthGlobal's sole and absolute discretion to determine each post's pay-per-character charge."
  4. To pay to for your posts you'll either be wealthy, and can afford whatever coverage you want; or,
  5. If you're middle class you'll pay an obscenely large portion of your income just in case you want to post; or
  6. If you have Twittercaid you'll be able to shitpost whatever you want, but your life otherwise probably sucks; or
  7. If you have Twittercare it'll pay 80% of your post-character bill. You'll also be the only segment of society that is allowed to post in all caps. Unfortunately, you'll likely need a child to help you post as your mind and body deteriorate over the remaining few years of your life.

Boones Trace subdivision in northern madison county seems pretty cool. You don't want to live in Richmond. Boone's Trace is conveniently situated close to Richmond and Lexington, in a somewhat secluded and guarded neighborhood on a hill surrounded by the KY River.
