Don't Get Sick Here?/Great Radio Programming!

Numbers! Do you believe them or not? It's a good rule of thumb to remember that quantitative is not equal to qualitative. In other words, would you rather have ten bad physicians or five competent ones? Why are we talking physicians?

MSN has done a ranking of 25 places you don't want to become ill (thanks to a reader for sending us the article). Florence-Muscle Shoals is No. 24. Here's the link:

Don't Get Sick in Florence

So how accurate is it? It's based on a wide variety of issues, so you decide. Much is based on Medicare/Other reimbursement. This has been a problem for this area for years. If local hospitals/physicians can't fix it, we certainly can't. 

Yet a ranking like this may just bring it home to the right people. Something needs to be done...

Speaking of not getting sick, here's a sad article: Haleyville Hospital Closing.

Looking for some great morning radio? Try Tic Tac & Nuts in the Morning. Tic Tac asked us to make an appearance; hmmmm, does that make us the nuts? We had to demur, but we understand the show features our blog at times.

So where/when can you listen to Tic Tac? 102.7 Kiss FM from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. weekdays. The program seems to have great taste in bloggers.
