hospital impact

by Christopher Cornue

Hello - as most of you know, I've had a strong interest in comparing our healthcare system in the United States with those in other countries and have written about it in several posts in the past (and several in the very near future). I just heard about a series of reports from the BBC contrasting the NHS and the US System. Some of these reports will be broadcast on the BBC Channel on the XM Satellite Service (perhaps Sirius, too -- I'm not certain) today at various times. The one time I caught was 8:00 eastern tonight, but there are others earlier (at either 1 or 3 pm today). Also, on the BBC World Service website at the following link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ ) they have a report posted titled "Building Better Health." Take a look (er, listen) if you get a chance and are interested!
