The advocacy for the prevention of Hospital Associated
Infections(HAI) in our Veteran’s hospitals , as with any advocacy, requires
energy and focus. Both critical ingredients have been lacking lately due to
short term issues, moving our house and business, but forgotten our Veteran’s I
have not.
The debate is raging
in the medical community, the answers are there in my opinion and documented on
my blog but healthcare professionals far beyond my medical knowledge continue
to tune the challenge as I write, the hundreds of thousands of California
residents and our Veteran’s, I am sure,
are very thankful.
My advocacy is dedicated
to those who help others due to my lack of
knowledge and thankful I am for the patience of those in the medical
community to allow my advocacy to exist but sometimes really odd things happen—
Here I am, sitting at
home using my smart phone to find a solution for the “FBI ransom white screen”
malware on my Alienware laptop, my wife hands me the “snail mail” which
included the attached note for the Honorable U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Alright, a lot of Jarheads work at the U.S. Post office, “I get it” as far as the
move, the house is doing well, the shop, well, my wife asked me how it is
going, I said “it will be going better once I get control of my computer but in
general, we are going to need a bigger hammer”!
As far as our Veteran’s are concerned, well, they never gave
up on us so I do not see a good reason to give up on them. As for my advocacy,
I do not worry about being out in front,
I reflect back to profound knowledge gleaned from those who cared, “do
not be first, do not be last and never quit”, Sargent Sanchez, platoon 3086,
USMCRD, August 1982.
“hai-five”

"If we can improve the quality of
care, that will translate into lower cost," Anthem President Pam Kehaly
said. "These are real dollars”
Ps: again, supporting those who help
others, Susan G. Komen Foundation, they may give the term “never quit” meaning to a simple belief
in my opinion!
