Hackensack hospital adding a trauma unit on wheels

[Doug Condit Jr]

Actually Bill, the one in the World trade Center was located near 
the NY City Offices of the Secret Service (also in the WTC)! 

Do they wear black??

  Does it share space with the Men In Black headquarters?

  Pret-sarcasm??-never!  One of his lines particularly hit home:

  "Let's build a bunch of multi-million-dollar roller-hospitals and store
  them in a big warehouse, just in case a city collapses.  When a city
  collapses  (ideally, not the city with the big warehouse)"

  Prior to 9/11, NYC Mayor Gulliani, incurred the wrath of fiscal
  conservatives for building a multimillion dollar 'emergency' command
  center, for use by the city in the case of a major terrorist attack,
  hurricane, flood, or other catastrophic disaster.  And where was this
  fortress located??   In the World Trade Center, of course. 

  Under current Mayor Bloomberg, this concept has been maintained,  The
  current 'emergency' command center is physically located in Manhattan,
  under the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Gotta say that, sarcasm aside, Pret is absolutely correct.  This
  mobile
    doc-in-the-box is counterintuitive.  It also fails to ascribe to the
    very basics of trauma care, and that is to bring the patient as
  quickly
    to the place with the most resources, not to bring a few resources
  to
    the place where they will quickly be overwhelmed, overused and
  thereby
    useless!  I bet Frykberg would have a stroke with all of this.

    Let me see, now......I am looking at something that is round, has a
    hole in the middle, and can be put on a heavy stick with the
  identical
    round thing on the other end of the stick onto which I can put
  something
    and roll along very easily.  Why, I just reinvented the wheel. 
  Sounds
    like what these "medical innovators" want to do.

    Just my 3 cents (inflation and all.......)

    Take care,
    Ron
