The subject matter here will perk up soon it's just been a month of hell I understand people are afraid of death I understand people are afraid of sickness and disability it may be amongst our greatest fears yet the reality is 100% of us will experience it. We need to do better.

The baby boomer generation had no evolved prenatal care had no neonatal care and had no preemie care. That movement began when JFK and Jackie lost a premature child 3 months prior to his assassination. But many of us survived and we got back up time and again.

The baby boomers take up on the source either the largest group alive or the second largest group of living we are living longer than ever usually due to Public health and cleaner sources of water and food but the problem is we're dying hard and often in subpar nursing homes

The illnesses we suffer from are also very difficult and far more prevalent various types of cancers that have not been cured new rise of problems as we see with viral infections in the pandemic in the long covid and heart related diseases.

So while we pretend it's taboo to talk about these things life can slip away very quickly you fight it was relationships we do stupid things we get angry we run we're human it happens. But we have made a big mistake in the United States especially but worldwide as well.

A mistake about living is that we chose quantity over quality. This seems to be a trend especially in capitalism but for the last hundred years or so the length of our lives is very long compared to any time in history prior. We should focus on quality first quantity next.

To achieve quality and quantity of life takes a great deal of effort discussion study awareness money or a better system. So if you don't talk about it the people we hurt the most are the ones that live beyond us and the suffering we have as we get closer to our time

To look at the guitar the book the computer the dreams the hopes the wants and desires and knowing that they won't come true well that really sucks but we can make sure that while we're still sentient that bring us comfort and happiness like friendship or music or visits

The USA has a big problem it's called healthcare and it is failing us terribly in quality of life. It is humiliating us if quantity is not affordable or available. This is not a problem of quantity but quality how can we know what makes quality in a life if we don't speak it?

Replying to @mholzschlag
Topol describes how a regulation that assume/require a certain status got in the way of HatH. Some places got a waiver, but then…institutional inertia. Also related to the clerical burden and regulation/assumption/inertia is how to keep up with research & apply to practice

More clerical relief: Topol hopes that something like an instance of ChatGPT can be carefully trained on medical terminology/diagnostics & eventually parse patient charts/alert physicians, && eventually monitor key physical indicators for docs. [me:privacy will be tricky.]
Replying to @mholzschlag
…ironically, letting the two hospitals continue but requiring them to not duplicate services might mean, for instance, that you’d have to chop a pt up if the pt’s issues bridged the artificial admin divide, or invent a workaround, or probably, a waiver. Clerical….
