I just wanted to reply to Dr Soleto. As my partner and I were up most of
the night caring for a morbidly obese diabetic in a rollover MVC with
multiple orthopedic injuries, a pancreatic injury and 30% third degree
burns who has no payor source I am frankly offended by your comment that
people are "left to die" in the ED. It is not to put too fine a point on
it — bullshit; ignorant, biased, self-gratifying bullshit. Quite a bit
like Michael Moore.

And while I'm in my post-back-up call and now on call rant (for those
residents on the list "call" is when you stay in or near the hospital
ALL NIGHT to take care of patients after 5PM, I know, hard to believe
really) Bret — while I like most of your posts I've got to say that
generally speaking using diminuitives like "Faux News", "Rethuglicans",
and "Dhimmocrats" drops the perceived IQ of the post by at least 50
points. /rant off
