I TOLD ya those filthy illegals from South America were bringing Ebola into the country, but would our America-hating president listen? No, and I'm filing articles of impeachment the second I get back from vacation. Why the hell not? It's not like some commie Democrat is gonna take MY seat!"

(49,212 posts)Seriously though, why would anybody with a serious illness go to Kaiser South Sac and not to UC Davis or Sutter at least? I'd share all the stories I know of botched treatment at Kaiser South but I don't want to fuck up DU's bandwidth for the month.
