The Wonderful World Of Food On The Television This happens often after patients are admitted into hospital, they ask why they are not in a private room? Unfortunately they become a little unsure why they haven’t received what they are promised beforehand I try by explaining that on television or wherever advertisements are found, often what is promoted is that a person will receive a private room with their private health policies.

Greetings, Cut to the chase. I had a biopsy about 10 days ago. They found a suspicious area in my right breast, from an earlier mammogram and ultrasound. Not a lump, still a small area of unusual tissue. The expert team from the hospital I worked at for almost 20 years performed the procedure. Then came the waiting game, Easter weekend was coming up and the imaging center, where I was to return to get the results, was taking a well deserved holiday.
