Financial Blood-Letting

My brother does emergency room work but he says he seldom deals with an emergency. He says in fact that I have dealt with more real emergencies than he has, though that maybe an exaggeration.

But there is a reason an emergency room now deals with few emergencies. In the 1950s everything that could be done for an injured person was in a reasonably well equipped hospital Today you must get the person to a high-tech center, a “trauma” center, as soon as possible.

The ambulance only takes a trauma patient to a place where the copter takes off.

My brother mentioned in passing that tens of billions of dollars were spent on several new “trauma centers,” all but one went broke.

Billions of dollars were wasted because all those geniuses did not know one simple fact.

Those who can afford medical care do not have traumas.

Most of the people who end up in trauma centers are criminals, the poor, drunks, that sort of person. The Trauma Centers went broke because they were giving most of their care away free.

Now I can understand why, here and there, a person loses his savings because he was dumb enough to set up a Pork Center in an area inhabited mostly by Orthodox Jews. But this kind of mistake really lets you know why “financial experts” today are such idiots.

The only trauma hospitals now go after are heart attacks, because we have to die of something, and if you have medical insurance or money, the chances are you will end up in the heart ward.

But not in the Trauma Ward.

In the real world even auto accidents happen mostly to the repeaters. I have seen lots and lots of real emergencies because I was in the alcohol and drug program — working free — and druggies and alkies get into most of those.

Hispanics and blacks are victims of most of the crime. More important to this case is the fact that the aim of most crime committed against those who have money is their money. The matter of fact blood letting among poor blacks and Hispanics by those who prey on them is to terrorize. It is done by human wrecks who can’t control themselves.

If you are going to invest money, it is a good idea to take a look at the world you are investing in.

What the Trauma center planners did not do was fall for the stereotypes.

What they did not do was racial profiling.

Did I mention that they lost their asses?
