Every time I get the chance I liked to mention what Remote Area Medical is doing. They have had two free clinics in the Los Angeles area and have helped some really needy people and these are not just the unemployed either. There are people who are working that need care and don’t have insurance...

Usually once a year the northern California facilities hosts their “free surgery” day and it’s nice to see the same happening in southern California at 3 facilities. Below are a couple links from past posts. BD Super Surgery Session at Kaiser in San Francisco – 26 Patients received volunteer...

This decision was made by the Illinois Supreme Court that yes the hospital system can pay taxes if they are not giving enough charity care. Where does running a business and charity care cross the line? We need charity care, but then those complain that they don’t make any money with charity...

It looks like the doctor, Gary Michelson was right, 10 million was nowhere near enough and well, just look at where we are today with Congress. Do you think anyone in Congress wants to be a millionaire, no wait a minute, most of them already are. We do know that Wellpoint is passing along...

I know it’s been pretty quiet around the blog the last few days, but the duck had the flu and is recovering, bird flu I guess in my case. I stumbled upon this website that talks about the doctor playing his cello to raise money for charity when catching up. Dr. Eric Roter is an ER Physician...
