room.
Now the operating room, we've been cirticized now for
a long time. We have three operating rooms. We want to
enlarge it and make four, but our schedule is not heavy.
Friday, there was one operation done. Today, there was
just one operation. Do you think that's overcrowded? No.
So actually it is not necessary to go into expanding just
for that purpose.
What do we actually need? We do need some new beds, or
I should say change the, take the beds from the old wing
and move it to the new wing. Now we have a shelled -in
area on the third floor. Now we have it set up so it can
be enlarged, it can be filled in with private beds, private
rooms.
They never thought about semi -private, I don't know why
they didn't, because you can put many more beds there, and
some people want semi -private. They don't want to be in
private rooms; their insurances don't cover it.
I was in a private room six years ago in a hospital
and I was in for six days and my bill was $1400, just for
being in the hospital, Now some patients almost have to pay
that for one day in the hospital. So actually I feel that
if we had taken all this money that we have used on surveys
and surveys and surveys and gone ahead and shelled in
that third floor to start with, they would have enough
beds to take care of our shortage.
When the economy gets good again, we can go ahead
