My statistics on this blog, shows that there is a fairly high rate of visits to this site. Since I opened it a years or so ago. I has had over 1,500 visits or so a year. My stats do not state whether your are visiting by mistakes, or you are actually reading the articles. But I would surely welcome what
you have to say. Whether you agree with me or not. I try not to take my "believes" very seriously

Too frequently some (not all of these) facilities make rules, regulations, and policies that are based for the facilities conveniences not for the best interest of the patients. And they can do quite a bit of damage in individuals if they have not done it in large groups of people
