This Sunday we will discuss an item that is in the June 9, 2010 edition of the JAMA, page 2253, read it--"LONG TERM ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL AFTER CRITICAL ILLNESS." Ironically, the same subject was discussed Tuesday at my teaching hospital--this THING if you have never head of is COMING (and is already here).
It will be interesting to see what you think about anther set of hospitals--are we building medical Plutocracy or is this something that is badly needed. (Unfortunately, both are probably correct.) There are at present about 475 Long-term acute care hospitals which were put on a moratorium in 2006 which is now lifted. Tune in, should be fun.
