Medical dilemma - quite long -- rujane, 08:50:10 11/20/02 Wed
I was told this week that one well-known local surgical specialist (I won't name the doctor or specialty) has seen his malpractice premiums go from $90,000 to $140,000 in 2003. Another one is seriously considering closing his practice and moving to the Midwest where the rates are much lower. Whatever anti tort reform lawyers think about who is responsible (they say it's the insurance companies, their villain of choice now that they've finished working over the medical community; medical professionals say it's largely due to suits brought, even those where there is no award). Unless the anti tort reformers are ready to practice medicine, it doesn't matter what they think. What does matter is that doctors, hospitals, other practitioners (midwives, physician's assistants, etc) are increasingly deciding they can't practice any more and dropping out. Consider the following, excerpted from several 2002 articles:
In New Jersey:
A group of seven North Jersey retinal specialists have stopped providing care to premature infants, citing the state's overly broad statute of limitations for minors. The practice, which treats retina problems found in premature babies that often can lead to blindness, previously was insured by PHICO but could not find another carrier in the open marketplace when PHICO went into receivership. The state's guaranty fund for PHICO customers covers the practice for claims up to $300,000 - clearly inadequate for New Jersey’s tort system.
In West Virginia:
A state medical society survey that asked practicing West Virginia physicians about liability rates found that 40% are considering moving to a different state, and 30% are considering retiring. "Fears of lawsuits as well as the huge increases in premiums are creating a terrible work environment," said John Holloway, MD, West Virginia State Medical Society president.
In Texas:
Skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance costs are forcing many doctors to abandon care of high-risk patients - including children, the elderly, and those with cancer, heart disease and many other chronic health problems - while others have been forced out of business all together.
In Pennsylvania:
Doctors in Bucks County and other parts of southeastern Pennsylvania are moving out of the state and to other counties or scrambling to get liability insurance because of skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance rates. The high rates, which doctors say are threatening their careers and patient care, are caused in part by high jury awards in the Philadelphia area. Some surgeons have been unable to obtain malpractice insurance except for policies with five- or six-figure premiums -- even if they've never been taken to court. In Delaware County, about 44 doctors at the height of their careers left the state last year or no longer practice clinical medicine.
In Washington State:
An Olympia internal medicine physician might be the first South Sound casualty of soaring malpractice insurance costs. Dr. Sarah Reade has closed her practice and it will remain closed unless she finds substantially better malpractice rates, she said. Reade, who treats about 500 patients, was told Wednesday her malpractice insurance costs would more than quadruple -- from $5,300 a year to $30,000 a year. "I don't have it. I have to close my practice," said Reade, who opened her internal medicine practice in Olympia two years ago. Reade has the same problem. Because of contracts with health insurance companies, "I'm not allowed to raise my rates to reflect the cost of care," she said. Reade will apply for malpractice insurance from two other companies, and might re-open her practice if she finds insurance at a rate she can afford, she said. If not, she'll look into consulting or possibly working for an hourly wage at a clinic. "I've just spent 12 years getting trained," she said. "I've had patients call and say, 'You can't quit, you're my doctor.' "
In Massachusetts:
When Swadesh Mullick, M.D., learned that her medical liability insurance premium was going up, she was convinced that her insurer, ProMutual, must have gotten the numbers wrong. The premium for her obstetrics practice was more than 25 percent higher than the year before.“First, I called and asked, ‘Are you sure this is correct?’” said Dr. Mullick, who has been delivering babies at Lawrence General and Holy Family Hospitals in the Merrimack Valley for nearly 20 years…Dr. Mullick will close her practice this year.
In Mississippi:
Limitless liability negatively affects access to health care. According to the Mississippi State Medical Society, 90 percent of the obstetricians in Mississippi and 75 percent of the general, orthopedic and emergency surgeons have been sued. Every single neurologist in Mississippi with more than ten years of experience has been sued. As a result, few Mississippi towns under 20,000 residents have a physician who will deliver babies.
In Nevada:
The Associated Press reported on July 13, 2002, that Nevada's only top-level trauma center, the University Medical Center in Las Vegas, reopened 10 days after it shut down because of soaring malpractice insurance rates. "The county-run trauma center closed July 3 after all but one of the medical center's 58 orthopedic doctors resigned because they said they couldn't afford rising malpractice insurance premiums. Physicians say some medical malpractice insurance premiums have jumped from $40,000 to $200,000 annually.
In Florida:
SANFORD - Unable to pay soaring malpractice insurance rates, four emergency room surgeons suspended their practices.The surgeons, all associated with Central Florida Regional Hospital, were informed by their carriers that premiums, to be paid up front and in cash, would quadruple to about $600,000 for the year.
RUSH/MISS AMERICA -- talkonline, 14:34:51 11/21/02 Thu
Today I was standing in my kitchen with BERT PARKS!-thanks RUSH!...........anyone else notice how often RUSH mentions MISS AMERICA? I think that RUSH really "gets" MISS A, he seems like a big fan (pun? NO!),and his refrences remind his audience of the importance of MISS AMERICA as a cultural icon.
Truly "EIB" today on RUSH, lots of silliness "cause of the DASHLE remark about TALK RADIO/and RUSH.

Had Tea at the Sweet Magnolia in Margate Today -- zuwarah, 20:29:11 11/15/02 Fri
I had tea at the Sweet Magnolia in Margate today. For $8.95 (plus tax) you get a pot of your choice of tea, two scones, clotted cream and some kind of custurd to put on the scones. What you are paying for is the atmosphere. It's a nice quiet place to go to relax without having to order a big meal. For $18.95 I could have gotten tea and some kind of sandwhiches. I'll have to try that some other time...Recommended!

Slot Machines at Meadowlands? -- talkonline, 19:49:51 11/18/02 Mon
(I'll post my refrence asap)
Here's what happened in the Senate meeting RE:Slots at the racetrack.
After Senator Gormley was welcomed to the State Agriculture,Tourism and ??? Committee, (I think GORMELY voted "yes" on the veal question?????
...At the very very end of the meeting the SLOT issue came up. The commitee chairman said that they "...were here to take testimony...not going to be able to handle it in the short time period that we have today..." then,one of the sponsors of the bill, Senator Suiliaga (sp?) had a somewhat mysterious statement. He said that he "...recieved information from the treasuer"...(of the state of New Jersey)...which...innovative approah to bringing in additional revenue to the State of New Jersey and also helping our casinos be competitive and helping the horse industry.............."
Then the Chairman and Senator Suiliga (sp?) discussed briefly wether Suiliga should give an "overview of the bill" with the Chairman stateing that the discussion should be "held" due to "...additional information.....(that the bill would be )...re-crafted in a way that could satisfy all intrests...best way to approach it."
The bill is being held and I think that the chairman invited Senator Gormley & Suiliga to join him in Atlantic City this weekend for dinner at MacDonald's.
JimBOhannon interviews Author PATRICIA CORNWALL -- talkonline, 22:59:00 11/18/02 Mon
One of my favorite authors. Very outspoken-she sounds younger than I imagined.Promoting her new "JACK-THE-RIPPER" book. PORTRAIT OF A KILLER-Jack the Ripper/CASE CLOSED.-JIMBO calls the book "compelling"-good-that's what I expect from Cornwall.
I am currently slogging through a Patricia Cornwall book. Something "dog"???-It's the first book of her's that I've read that doesn't have character Dr. Kay Scarpetta.-(all that juciy stuff about Quantico and forensics etc.)-Well-the one I'm reading,very choppy,very easy to put down and loose track of the story-my Mom said that she doesn't even think that Cornwall wrote this "dog-whatever" book and I have my doubts also.
Yeah-I'm going to give her another chance,great interview and I'm dying to know who-done it!

Don Williams tells a joke! -- zuwarah, 14:57:45 11/18/02 Mon
Did you hear the joke that Don Williams told this morning? In case you didn't, this is how it went...There were 3 gentlemen in a hot tub together...An Asian man an Irish man and another type of man, I forget what he was...The Asian man touches his wrist and says that he has a computer chip embedded under his skin and he uses it like a telephone, or something like that. The other gentleman touches his forehead and says that he has a computer chip in his head and that he just received an email...The Irishman, not to be outdone goes to the bathroom and comes back with some toilet paper hanging out his butt and says, "I just got a fax!"
Fried Cauliflower -- talkonline, 13:20:09 11/18/02 Mon
So I'm making Fried Cauliflower. Thanks to RICH for mentioning this on THE FRONT PORCH last year during the holiday season. I had forgotten how delicious it is.
I bought 2 heads of fresh cauliflower @ SHOP-RITE .99 (they are small).
I'm boiling them in a big pot so that I can cut small pieces. (but not too long or they will get mushy).
Then,I'll rinse the heads in cold water or wait for them to cool.
After I cut the pieces,I'll dip in some beaten eggs and bread crumbs*.
I'm going to put some oil in the big pot that I used to boil the cauliflower. Heat that up 'till HELLS-A-POPPIN'-('till drops of water flung into the hot oil POP! and splatter),and fry them,Then I'll remove them just before they start to burn.
And put them on a ripped-open brown paper bag and apply salt.
*I'm trying something NEW-"hot and spicy" flavor bread crumbs.
You're right! I did add milk! (NT) -- it was good but the family wanted to dip them in melted butter???!!! 2 heads made two batches so I froze one, 18:28:47 11/18/02 Mon

A Professional Journalist? -- Chrissy, 15:30:31 11/16/02 Sat
Perhaps the person who claims to be a professional journalist should take English Comp 101 again. He needs to review his grammar, spelling and punctuation. He should pay particular attention to homonyms. Note: When you want to say you are, use you're not your.
*Happy Birthday to the SITE METER!* -- talkonline, 19:23:04 11/15/02 Fri
WoW-I put up the SITE METER one year ago today. Below are the one year "stats", as you can see,we have had many visits this year! The "page views" (the big number) are what would be displayed on an ordinary counter. The "visits" count should be more realistic? and only count a "visitor" once per day,or while that visitor's computer is logged on and off again.(so I should only be counted for 365 of the "hits" on the meter that shows on the top of the page.-but since my Comcast cable modem is "always on"-I'm not really sure?
THANK-YOU TO EVERYONE FOR VISITING!AND BIG BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO LEAVES A MESSAGE!
Oh yeah,the SITE METER popped up shortly after the one year anniversery of the message board's founding.
EXTRA special thanks to "charter member" RICH from BRIGANTINE who was the first person to check out the original board and who pops in every now and then. THANK-YOU to TALKOFFLINE for co-moderating,it is a tremendous relief to not have to keep an eye on things on my own, And MIKE-a new person this year (I think we inherited MIKE with 101.5?),thanks! for posting your views and help on the site! And THANK-YOU TALKBOT for getting involved and supplying FUN! Also MR.TALKONLINE-thank-you for the great SCOOPS!

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
545 AM EST FRI NOV 15 2002
...A NORTHEASTER IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND...
LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST ON
SATURDAY. THE LOW SHOULD THEN MOVE UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON
SUNDAY. MEANWHILE...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD
ACROSS EASTERN CANADA.
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BRING RAIN TO OUR REGION
BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY. THE RAIN MAY BE
HEAVY AT TIMES ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. RAINFALL
TOTALS THIS WEEKEND COULD RANGE FROM ONE TO TWO INCHES AT MANY
LOCATIONS. THAT AMOUNT OF RAIN MAY RESULT IN SOME FLOODING IN AREAS
OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS.
FROM LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT ENOUGH COLD AIR MIGHT WORK
ITS WAY INTO THE POCONOS...THE LEHIGH VALLEY...AND NORTHWESTERN NEW
JERSEY TO CAUSE THE RAIN TO MIX WITH SLEET AT TIMES. HOWEVER...AT
PRESENT IS APPEARS AS THOUGH ANY SLEET ACCUMULATION WOULD BE MINIMAL.
ALONG THE COAST...GALE FORCE WINDS FROM THE NORTHEAST ARE
ANTICIPATED FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY
PRODUCE SEAS UP TO 8 TO 12 FEET ALONG WITH HEAVY SURF AND POSSIBLY
SOME BEACH EROSION. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING.
THE STORM WILL PULL AWAY TOWARD CANADA/S MARITIME PROVINCES ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

Langford the Racist? Read before judging -- Silent Majority, 23:14:06 11/12/02 Tue
http://www.gallowaynews.com/langfordcomplextion.htm
In the above article, the Mayor of Atlantic City is quoted as saying "Atlantic City should not be made into a dumping ground." Dumping grounds are for trash. He is talking about a plan to direct what he calls "white middle class" families into the city. Is this the new "white trash?" He doesn't want white people to move in and change the complexion of the black neighborhoods.
Wow! Imagine the outrage if the mayor of Longport said he didn't want black people moving in and turning it into a dumping ground.
The sad thing is, I live in Atlantic City. I guess I'm White Trash. I own my home. I have 2 jobs. I pay extremely high taxes. But, I guess I should be thankful that Langford hasn't noticed me here amongst the chosen people or else he might just put me out at the curb.

Flipping Vacation Day Policy is great!! -- No name, 22:47:37 11/11/02 Mon
The new policy for police officers and their "extra retirement pay" vacation days is great! I know of at least one person who walked away with a few hundred thousand dollars worth of vacation pay that was "not used." I really find it hard to believe that in a job so stressful and emotional that police officers do not take off the time they are entitled to or do they exhaust their sick days first even if they are not sick? I read about this on Harry's site and he said that he will get the list of those cops who have large amounts of unused vacation days; I cannot wait to see it. I hope that people like the ones who write on this site will know some of these cops and realize that when they are off and at home, they are not "sick" but rather using sick days as vacation days!
Really nasty PSA -- talkonline, 14:57:41 11/12/02 Tue

The tone and pushiness of the ads just go a little too far.

David's Farewell Message -- David, 22:01:01 11/05/02 Tue
As a man of honor I am leaving this final and farewell message to this board. The lessons are clea: You don't have to live where you run, (Calloway), when yourlosing you quit and reward the democrats (Lautenberg/ Mondale). It's sick and getting sicker! All Police know the best man for a job, but the real career politician tricks and cheats his way,(McGettigan). Politicans run a campaign for Dunes and Booze and snooker enough people to keep there cash flowing. (Watch the money). That about says it all. Good wishes to all, and farewell. I was in your head, and I am now in your memories. Signed, David

SPOILER-(caution) ONLINE bets halted for "The Bachelor". They know who the winner is? -- do not read if you want to be surprised, 10:08:38 11/08/02 Fri
(from BETTWWTS)
BETWWTS.COM SUSPENDS BETTING ON THE BACHELOR
St. John’s, Antigua (November 7, 2002)—BetWWTS.com, a leading offshore gaming company, suspended wagering on ABC’s The Bachelor earlier this week following a deluge of wagers on one of the remaining bachelorettes. Suspicions were aroused when the company began receiving up to nine new account applications per minute originating from the bachelor’s hometown of Springfield, Missouri beginning on October 31st, all of which placed bets on the same woman. Aaron Buerge, the bachelor, it seems is not the only person who knows the answer to the question all of America is asking.
Of the money placed on The Bachelor bet offer, over 60 percent originated from Springfield, Missouri and was all placed on the same bachelorette. Management discovered the consistency of the bets and their origin earlier this week when the decision was taken to suspend wagering on the show.
“In the past few days we have seen an abnormal amount of maximum limit wagers originating from the hometown of the bachelor, all of which were backing the same woman and forced us to suspend the betting on the show,” said Buck Churchill, chief bet manager of BetWWTS.com. “Next week’s episode of the show is entitled ‘The Women Tell All!’, but as we see it perhaps a better title would be ‘The Bachelor’s Friends Tell All!’.”
I really had fun setting-up this online art store. Please visit it! I will get a small commision from any sales. I also include info. if anyone is interested in making your own store,(believe me-it was easy and FUN!).......prices vary the main $$ difference is the dif. between a "poster" (very inexpensive) compared to an "art print"-(priced accordingly).
barbara streisand: politics -- No name, 15:42:07 11/07/02 Thu
I was one of her biggest fans! Purchased all her movies, and cd's, and tapes! Read her book! Still loved her after knowing about her life! When she married a few years ago, I was thrilled at her choice of men!
I am a professional woman, with an income over 7 figures. Barbara was the only celebrity, I would personally have stood in line to purchase a ticket of a few hundred dollars to see.
Yes, I waved my flag to Barbara, but no longer! I tried to justify to everyone a few years ago during President Bush's campaign, that she was just a dyed in the wool democrat, trying to sway votes. But, now I find she is cold blooded and has no respect for "MY PRESIDENT", the President of the GREATEST COUNTRY on earth! If your going to throw stones at a President why not an IMMORAL creature like Bill Clinton? Unless you are hiding a personal relationship with him! Which is the gossip among my friends. (Again, which I have defended Barbara until now)!
Enough is enough Barbara! If you're an American and if you love this country, be patriotic and "STAND BEHIND OUR MAN, PRESIDENT BUSH"! LISTEN TO THE VOTERS, or your going to have fewer fans! In times like these we need a strong man, like President Bush to lead our country (which he is doing), not playing with cigars in the oval office, like your man (Mr. EX President Clinton)!
I believe in fate, and I believe in God! He gave us Clinton to show us how sick our society is, and he has given us Presdient Bush as hope for the future!

Oh dear-I haven't found a place to store the Congeneese diamonds yet and NOW THIS! A trunk full of MONEY!...I really don't have room for some smelly old trunk so I'm passing the message along.
POTENTIAL PARTNER
I am Mr. S. welsh Bank Manager China Trust Commercial Bank, Taipei, Taiwan. I
have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On December 6, 1998, a Foreign consultant/contractor with the Taiwan printon and
minting, Mr.Brian Claude made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00, (Thirty Million,united states
Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got
no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Taiwan printon and minting that Mr.Brian Claude died
from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died
without making WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Brian Claude did
not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00
has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safekeeping.
No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Taipei Law, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Taiwan Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand in as
the owner of the money I deposited it in a security company in a trunk box,
though the security company does not know the contents of the box as I tagged
them to be photographic materials for export. I am writing you because I as a
public servant (Manager with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or
have an account that is more than $1m.
I want to present you as the owner of the box in the security company so that
you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney. This is simple. I
will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the
owner of the
trunk.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20%
for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be done by the Attorney and this will guarantee the successful execution of this
transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that
will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.(Buying of properties like houses, hotels
etc) Please do send me your telephone and fax number so that we can have a
smooth communication.
Awaiting your urgent reply via by email
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Steve Welsh
Bank Manager,
China Trust Commerical Bank,
Taipei,Taiwan.

talkonline's email -- talkonline, 09:34:37 11/07/02 Thu
Someone (thanks JG!)sent me this little story-I have to "delete" it from my inbox 'cause it's using up too much space, thought I'd post it here-(author unknown)
Subject: GOD AND ICE CREAM
Thank God for children saying grace.......
Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son
asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good,
God is great. Thank you for this food, and I would even thank you more
if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for
all!
Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a
woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't
even
know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong?
Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and
God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the
table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought
that was a great prayer." "Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied............Then in a theatrical
whisper he added, (indicating to the woman whose remark had started this
whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream.....a little ice
cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My
son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember
the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word, walked
over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her,
"Here, this is for you.... ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my
soul is good already."
I love this story! Keep it moving.
Sometimes we all need some ice cream.... (author unknown)

The report goes on to mention that one person is in prison (sentence 21 months) for running an online gaming site. Of course US law at this time makes gambling online illegal due to "wire/(telephone line) case law.(UH-is it ok to play using wireless?)
So here is my dumb ???-How come it is ok to play the stock market online??? (or even buy "collectibles" on ebay in the hope of selling at a profit?)????

Just wondering,heard a caller to Seth Grossman say that McGettigan and Gormley are distant cousins? Before this race,why did Republicans always put a joke candidate up for Sheriff?
Are there two Republican parties in Atlantic County? LoBiondo Republicans and Gormley Republicans?
And if so,which ones support Squires? I say LoBiondo is the one supporting Squires. Am I right?
Squires for Sheriff -- truthb4the5th, 14:37:16 11/03/02 Sun
