Spent a couple days in the hospital

Had to spend a couple of days getting a tune up in the local hospital.  While there I was saddened by the number of people that were there without the support of any family or friends.  I was so amazed that I inquired of the admissions how many people actually check themselves in  and was amazed that the numbers are in the 50% range.  Healthcare reform seems to need to begin in the family.  No patient should face hospitiliztion without the support of someone.
