  Time for the answer man to open his mailbag and see what needs to be addressed.

• Why hospitals are getting into the housing business

  10-10-2019 22:55 via ocregister.com
  
  Legally and morally, hospitals cannot discharge patients if they have no safe place to go.
  So patients who are homeless, frail or live alone, or have unstable housing, can occupy hospital beds for weeks or months — long after their acute medical problem is resolved. For hospitals, it means losing money because a patient lingering in a bed without medical problems doesn’t generate much, if any, income. Meanwhile, acutely ill patients may wait days in the ER to be moved to a floor beca

If he is lucky, he can escape while she is distracted. If he’s not lucky, she will kill and devour him as well.
