I Heart Cook County(stroger) Hospital

[vogonjiltz]

For trating my broke foot and not sending my broke ass a hospital bill.
Of course, waits are long, but hell, inconvenient health care is better than no health care.

1. wow--wish i could've gotten that same favor when i needed it

at good samaritan hospital in dupage county. (no such luck--apparently the "good samaritan" died long ago)

hope your foot gets better soon.

2. Thanks

For all the graft and so forth, some of the expenses are useful. Doesn't DuPage have a county hospital set up?

4. not that i know of

edwards in naperville, hinsdale, good sam in downers, central dupage in winfield but i don't think that's county. naw, dupage is too "well off" for a county hospital.

"Long known as one of the nation's wealthiest counties, DuPage County has transformed itself from a primarily agricultural economy to one rich in many different types of commerce. Today, DuPage County boasts a per capita income second only to Lake County, Illinois in the state, and 37th highest in the nation."
