A close friend of mine had a small stroke about a month ago. He knew what was happening at the time. He phoned his health plan (Kaiser), filled them in, and asked for an appointment. They gave him one two weeks off. A mutual friend said, "Uh, I think you need to see a doctor sooner." My friend agreed, called Kaiser back, leaned on them, and got an appointment for the next day. The doc said my friend needed to have his arteries cleaned out and scheduled the surgery for this coming Monday. Since then there has been blunder after blunder, including THREE prescription errors, each of which could have been fatal. In addition, the drug they gave him to lower his blood pressure has made him ill. He asked them to change it, but they refused, saying that they don't like to change medication prior to surgery. Each time I talk to him the story has gotten worse. Today I suggested that he cancel Monday's surgery--or at least postpone it. They've shown themselves to be so incompetent and uncaring that I am worried that he won't make it through.

~~~Vibes for DR Jeanne's Close Friend!!~~~

Thanks to all who sent vibes to my friend.

Keep us updated, Jeanne.

Jane, both films ask, "This is an outrage! HOW did it happen?" Although Madoff had a ponzi scheme that was a very deliberate fraud, it went on for a very long time, and the Powers That Be, who SHOULD have caught it, didn't. Both films deal with "holes" in our financial systems. There's definitely some overlap.

BTW, THE MADOFF AFFAIR is available on streaming video and is only about an hour long. Worth seeing, IMHO.

Thank you, Laura, I will.

Thanks Jeanne. I can't stream to our tv so I'll wait for NetFlix.

Watching a wonderful documentary called "When I Rise" about black mezzo-soprano Barbara Smith Conrad, who was the subject of unconscionable discrimination while at UT-Austin back in the late 1950s.

I'm a little ticked at the movie theater. Last week I called the newspaper about the Oscar Contest because I haven't received the passes yet. Angie said she had contacted the theater and they had to get them from their corporate and needed the name of the winner. OK. Today I called her again. She said that she was thinking about it today too and had emailed the theater but hadn't heard back. I was up for a movie this weekend, but don't really want to pay if I'm supposed to have a free pass.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #199 on:** March 11, 2011, 08:00:30 PM »

I do have a couple Netflix movies here. I'll watch them. Then I think I'm going to cut back to just streaming video to save a little more money

Did you announce your new yet, Jose?

I haven't, but I guess now is as good a time as ever...

I was asked to come aboard Arena Stage's remount of Oklahoma! as the Assistant Conductor/Keyboard Player. I start rehearsals back down in DC in June, the show opens in July, and it will run through October. And I will finally be making my long-delayed conducting debut in DC.

And that's my news.

Grand news it is. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Are you only subletting the new apartment until June?

Thank You, DR Jane.

My friend is on tour through the end of June, so... Once I get past the next couple of days, then I'll start thinking about whether or not I want to try to find another place after that.

I am snacking on popcorn and listening to some music that could, if all goes according to Hoyle, end up another Kritzerland Holy Grail release - I should know at the end of this month.

Congratulations to DR Jose on the Oklahoma! job! Richard and I are already discussing when we can get to DC...

Thank You, DR Ginny!

*Arena set a new box office record two weeks ago the day the tickets for the summer run on Oklahoma! went on sale. As soon as I get info about arranging house seats, I'll be sure to get that to you.
