Patients have begun asking some pertinent questions and voicing concerns:

“When I go to the doctor, I expect to spend at least three times the duration of my consultation in the waiting room. I just worry about that with the merger, because it seems like they could do things faster.” The answer from the major players is a resounding “Yes We Can!”

Some Laugh, but Point is Well-Intentioned CBS 58 has taken on a new direction in its news reporting, and the results are certainly creating a buzz. Instead of the old-fashioned “listen to me: don’t do this” form of news reporting, CBS 58 has rolled out a new era in reporting with “watch me: don’t do this.” Early critics of the technique have scoffed at the results—the loss of a $250,000 news van in Big Muskego Lake.

American Dreaming With Dan Brubus Keep driving your SUVs, people, because we’re about make history!

What do we have to thank for all this? Global warming, of course.
