I think this is Cutleaf evening primrose (Oenothera laciniata) growing right outside the health center. Native to here but has invaded some other regions. Always nice to see wild flowers during the “off season”. Hope it brightens your day like it did mine.

Amazing testimonies. I’ve heard many similar stories over the years. If this issue is important to you, I suggest calling your elected officials and letting them know.

ATLANTA. July 12, 2022 – The Northside Hospital system and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Georgia today announced they have finalized a new agreement that provides access to care at Northside for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s members.

“Northside Hospital has an unwavering focus on patients and their families, and that always is our mission,” said Scott Wade, vice president of Northside Hospital. “The outcome of our discussions is great news for our partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and our patients.”

Northside Hospital and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Georgia have enjoyed a partnership for more than 30 years.

I wonder if all new patient visits started with a telemedicine/telephone call with no video — if their doctor’s assessments would or would not be more objective by removing subconscious visial biases around the way people’s bodies look… Just a thought… Followed by an exam of course, but maybe a blind date first would be helpful. Thoughts?

Our greatest and most dangerous enemy — is time. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can work together to enjoy what time we have left here together.
