Final Draft Editorial #3

New hospital could create jobs and push attention towards local concerns
Abby Richter

There has been a lot of talk going around Good Samaritan Hospital about a new hospital being built in Kearney. It’s not being built by the city, but rather a group of frustrated doctors are who are taking matters into their own hands. The doctors said they are irritated that Good Samaritan Hospital and its parent, Catholic Health Initiatives, have been slow to re-invest in patient care and therefore they are planning to build a new hospital with their own income.

A new hospital in Kearney should be built because it would bring more attention to local concerns and it would create more jobs. Good Samaritan Hospital is the only level two trauma center for 450 miles, which means that it is hard for them to really concentrate on the local community when they are busy with surrounding cities as well as the city of Kearney.

Good Samaritan believes a second hospital would pose a threat to their team of neurosurgeons, open-heart surgeons and more. Traumas happen at anytime during the day, and Good Samaritan feels as though a second hospital would pull this team of well-qualified surgeons away from immediate care for their trauma patients. But, wouldn’t a second hospital actually help with cases Good Samaritan doesn’t have room for and be able to have more of a focus on the needs of local patients?

Since Good Samaritan is busy with the surrounding cities of Kearney, a second hospital could really focus their attention on the local community and help with cases Good Samaritan doesn’t have room for. Peggy Stults, a local resident of Kearney thinks a new hospital would have a positive impact on the city. "It would help the people on the south side," Stults said. "If there were a big emergency they wouldn't have to take so long. So, I think it's a great idea."

Along with being able to focus on the local community, a second hospital could create new jobs. Even though Nebraska hasn’t been hit as hard as some other states by the recession, anything that would create new jobs would help our community. If a new hospital can stimulate our economy, then why not build one, especially if it isn’t going to raise our taxes? A new hospital would also drive competition that would lead to competitive pricing and lower costs for patients.

The doctors planning to build this new hospital also stated a physician-led hospital would be more efficient because they won't have to be told what to do by a large, outside corporation. "Processes and quality are best driven by the people directly impacting that care, the nursing staff, the physicians, and not imposed from another level, from the top down so to speak," said Dr. Sean Denney.

Maybe Good Samaritan shouldn’t be so concerned about how this new hospital would jeopardize them, and start looking at how it could be beneficial for them and the community.

Why would a new hopistal in Kearney be beneficial?

So Good Samaritan Hospital thinks a new hospital in Kearney would be a bad idea because it would jeopardize their excellent team of neurosurgeons as well as as their open-heart surgeons in their trauma center. But have they really looked at how it could actually help them and be beneficial to the community?

A new hospital in Kearney could create new jobs and help put more focus towards our local patients. Good Sam is the only level two trauma center for 450 miles, so it is hard for them to put a lot of focus on the city of Kearney when they are busy with all the surrounding cities as well.

A new hospital could really dig down deep and help out local patients with even just mild health problems. The best thing about all this is since the frustrated doctors who are taking this matter into their own hand are building the hospital with their own income, our taxes won't be raised.

Along with all that, a new hospital could create new jobs. Nebraska isn't being hit as hard as some states by the recession, but anything that would create new jobs would be beneficial to our community. Also by having two hospitals competing, it would drive competitive pricing and therefore lower the overall costs for patients.

Good Sam shouldn't be so concerned about how this new hospital is going to hurt them, but they should be looking at how it can help them and the community of Kearney.

Jessica Simpsons Dad Freaks out

So you think Jessica Simpson would be old enough to take care of herself now?

Well...her father Joe Simpson has taken matters into his own hands as he called up he former boyfriend John Mayer to rip his butt for a comment he made about Jessica in an interview for Playboy magazine.

Mayer referred to Simpson as a "sexual napalm" in the interview. What in the world does that mean? I sure didn't know so I took it into my own liberty to look the word "napalm" up.

Napalm-is a thickening/gelling agent generally mixed with gasoline or a similar fuel for use in military operations. The term napalm is a combination of the names of its derivatives (coprecipitated aluminium salts of naphthenic and palmitic acids).^[1] Colloquially, napalm is used as a generic reference to several flammable liquids used in warfare, often jellied gasoline.^[2] "Napalm B" is the modern variant of napalm and, although chemically different, is often referred to simply as napalm.

Well, I guess he is referring to her as a sexual fireball? Haha, I don't know.

Basically John is screwed with ever dating Jessica again because her father didn't like him in the first place and he sure as heck don't like him anymore after making a reference about his daughter in bed.

The way I see it is that we all know Jessica is a big girl now and she can do what she wants so maybe her dad should stay out of her business. If I was her age and my dad pulled some crap like that I'd be furious and embarassed. I mean, being called a "sexual napalm" can't be that big of an insult?

I wish I could do that

As I was making my daily surf on YouTube I came across this video. Absolutely amazing. This kid is like 6 or 7 years old and he can basically shred on the electric...

He had to have started when he was like 2....

I wish my parents would have started me that young on the guitar because if I could have played like that when I was that young I'd basically be a Jimi Hendrix by now! Well maybe not quite like Hendrix, but you get the point I'm trying to get across....

This video shows that learning something new is a lot easier when your six or seven then when your 20. I think the reason for this is that by the time we are 20 we get frustrated when things don't come for us easily, but when you're little, you have all the time in the world and there is no reason to get frustrated because if you don't like it then you just quit and move onto something else!

How how I miss being little....

New Hospital in Kearney raises issues

So im going to go off topic of my music theme and blog about a local issue here in Kearney...the talk about building another hospital because some physicians are fed up with Good Samaritan Hospital management

There are pros and cons to this situation, but the main concern is that with Good Samaritan. Good Samaritan is the only level two trauma center for 450 miles. The team includes neurosurgeons, open heart surgeons and more. The concern with this is that bringing a new hospital in could jeopardize this team of great surgeons. Patients are coming in at all hours in the trauma center at Good Samaritan and if this well qualified team of surgeons is preoccupied with other duties at another hospital the care for patients that need immediate attention might not be up to standard.

Another concern is that since this new hospital would be physician owned, their main concern would be making profit and therefore they would just cherry-pick the least complicated, most profitable procedures and serve only the patients most able to pay.

The doctors who want to build this new hospital say that's not the case. They said a new hospital could actually help with cases that Good Samaritan doesn't have any room for.

A new hospital could actually be a good thing for patients because it could drive more competitive pricing and lower costs. It could also create jobs and help out the economy. Even though Nebraska hasn't been hit incredibly hard by the recession, any kind of job opening would be helpful.

Is Lady Gaga a Hermaphrodite?

I know it seems that I diss on Lady Gaga a lot and I am not dissing on her at all in this matter, but the buzz going around is that Lady Gaga has man parts as well as woman parts...

Apparently her male genitalia made an appearance at the music festival in Glastonbury, England. I have researched numerous websites to find out if this rumor is true and have looked at many pictures. I can't find a definite yes or no though.... I did come across this quote that I found on two websites that supposedly came from her,

“Its not something that I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that i go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but i consider myself a female. Its just a little bit of a penis and really doesn’t interfere much with my life. the reason I haven’t talked about it is that its not a big deal to me. like come on. its not like we all go around talking about our vags. I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I’m sexy, I’m hot. i have both a poon and a peener. big f*cking deal.”

I then cam across that Lady Gaga denied to Barbara Walters that she is a hermaphrodite on 20/20 but she doesn't mind the rumors....

I don't know what to think, but by looking at some of the pictures I seem convinced that Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite. I guess you'll have to make the judgment yourself...We all know that this pop star likes to stir the pot so who knows whether it's true or not....she probably just sits back and laughs as we all try to figure it out...
