This a really sore issue for me, because a friend of mine has bones that are permanently misaligned (and painful) because she was one of the ones that had to wait for it to stop hurting while popping extra strength Tylenol.
She's a teacher for a non-profit preschool/daycare that specializes in caring for low income and handicapped children. Given the circumstances, there isn't any program money to spare. Thanks to recent legislation (Ohio or national I'm really not sure) that subsidized insurance for teachers, she and her coworkers were able to get coverage for the first time this year.
Like I said, I wish I was more up on the specifics of the legislation, but she said it was passed precisely because the lack of health care is leading to a lack of new teachers.
I was under the impression that the Californian's radio operator wasn't so much sleeping on the job as had given up trying to get the jerks on the Titanic to listen.
They'd just told him to shut up to allow them to send personal messages without interference...as he was trying to warn them where they were headed.
Not that shutting off the radio was a particularly good idea. He probably felt absolutely terrible when he found out what had happened.
