1> How many others hated their 9 to 5 job, I always thought I was a loner/malcontent. How low and stable my BP and cholesterol counts have become since I took _the_ step.
2> How effective the US health care industry's propaganda is on making people focus on health care issues to the exclusion of what their life is really about. So many folks are virtually deer in the headlights unable to make choices on their own. Worrying about all the issues that may or may not happen instead of living each day as the gift that it truly is.
3> How little chance there is of being bored in ER. There are times I wish I could go back to my old job just for a few days to get a break, sitting in my swivel chair with nothing truly important to do.
4> How many really smart people post here and share their knowledge ... wish i had started here many years ago, I'd be soooo much smarter on ER and life issues in general.
