That's interesting, my brother is in the Navy and he says that it's crappy, but he's at the front of the line, always.

Course he liked the care he got in Japan better than the doctors here. But that's another story altogether.

Slips over to greet Miss Vi with a kiss on the cheek and a grin. Good evening to you, sexy.

does a run by nip.

Curses, since she beat him to it. But he pinches her bottom from behind while he's near. Then goes back to his seat and drinks his ice water.

smiles and curls up near him.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

Yes, you misunderstood me. When my husband was alive, civilian friends and neighbors, even family members all would tell us how 'lucky' we were to have free medical care through the Army. But our experience, typical of many service members and their families, was that the medical care left a whole lot to be desired. I swear the government owns stock in Motrin, because that was their answer for everything on the base clinic. Got a broken ankle? Here have a prescription for Motrin. Gastro Ulcer? Here, have some Motrin. STD's? Motrin!

It was ridiculous.

My mistake you are right.

 

[IvoryTigress]

Slips back into the lounge, raising an eyebrow at a pinched rear.

 

[LeChatNoir]

drops in, landing with a solid thud in his favorite wing chair

Hello there, people.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Evening to you hotness.

smiles and curls up near him.

Grins back at her and then slips an arm around her, cuddling up with her. He leans down to kiss her forehead sweetly. So how are you doing today? Strokes her hair gently.

 

[Miss_Vivi]

EDIT- smiles softly up at Noon Let's not talk about it. I'm... okay. Maybe.

Stands and saunters over to kiss her Ivory one and a very bad man

Hey, you two.

smiles, and brushes his lips over Vi's cheek

Watch out for very bad men, Vi. They're...

Self-explanatory.

giggles softly

I've heard. But they all seem to like me.
I think.

Glad to see you made it through today, doll.

My theory at the time was that the doctors in the military were most likely not the best doctors in the medical profession, because let's face it, the military doesn't pay it's medical officers anywhere near what a doctor could make on the outside. So you have to wonder why they stayed in the military. I suspected it was because they wouldn't have been very good doctors on the outside, and quite possible would have been subject to malpractice suits that the military protected them from.

I have no proof of this. It's just what I thought about while reflecting on why they just didn't seem to care about their patients.

Also, if I understood your comment correctly, you are right in that active duty military always go to the head of the line at the clinic, ahead of dependents and reservists.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

But you know what hurts me most? My great great grampa, My great grampa, My grampa, My dad, even my good for nothing brother all gave. I gave but we all signed up for this shit. our faimly did not. They like deserve better. Thats what we payed for, obama care is what they get... Oh thats right soilders make to mutch money for obama care.
And yes give me just about any Dr oversea, as aposed to mil dr stateside.

It makes sense, and my knowledge is second hand, of course.

And he says that in civilian hospitals their insurance gets them to the front of the line, even for his wife and daughter. He finds this funny, of course. But then my brother is kind of an asshole, but then I think it's genetic.

Nice to see you Thryi.

Hey, you two.

A kiss from a beauty is treasured, returned.

How are you, gorgeous?

Grins...nuzzles...

 

[LeChatNoir]

Hey there, Black Cat.

Grins at his fellow feline.

Hey there, Cat. Good to see that you survived the day, at least mostly.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Winks back at her and resists the urge to pinch someone again, but nods. Absolutely, sexy. Watches her bottom as she slips away.

giggles softly

I think.

Well, I'm sure a couple of them do. Grins at her wickedly, playfully.

Nods back at Thyri. Yes, that would all make sense to me. But the healthcare industry is really going through some ridiculous tough times. Doctors are still good, but it's getting harder and harder on them. Still very difficult on the cost side of things. Shrugs.

Well, I can't say as much about their policy at civilian hospitals. The one time I did end up in the civilian hospital while I was married to him was when the baby was delivered, and that wasn't really a walk in situation. The baby died inside me about a week earlier, and I had to check into the hospital to have it delivered after the fact.

Nice to see you too.

Okay. Kind of. But happy to see y'all.

Glad to see you made it through. A pair, we are. Sagenods

Smiles

It's good to see you, sugar.

Sends positive energies her way.

I'm sorry Thyri.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

I'm sorry Thyri.

No worries. It was a long time ago. Anyhow, it's not like civilian doctors don't make mistakes too, but it just seems like the over all quality of care is better in civilian medical facilities. Not all, I'm sure, but the majority I think.

True. I don't know the difference. But I'll take your word.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Glances around, then looks confused. Huh, I duck away for a bit to try to work on another thread, and it gets really quiet in here. Chuckles then shakes his head, deciding he needs something to drink. He goes over to start brewing himself a mug of coffee.
