They spent so little money on actual patient services that I was very disillusioned and left as soon as I could. I try to stay with organizations that I know.....the Southern Baptist Disaster teams do a heck of a job.....and I'm not baptist so not plugging my own denomination. :)nancygraycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288996419936475583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-13807572797284401162012-12-03T14:53:48.600-05:002012-12-03T14:53:48.600-05:00I do have a special needs son and had not heard th...I do have a special needs son and had not heard this.

I scoffed at a recent commercial that stated The American Red Cross donates 95%. That cannot be right with the huge salaries they pay. When my spouse was in a huge flood in the 70's the Red Cross came and charged victims and rescuers for the coffee. He had often seen this done while he was in the military working overseas. The Salvation Army has always been one of our favorites.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-42992171348313941382012-12-01T22:12:26.653-05:002012-12-01T22:12:26.653-05:00Excellent info to be passing along, thanks for sha...Excellent info to be passing along, thanks for sharing and looking out for everyone!<br /><br />And thanks for the 'moon'!<br />Blondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-59514709748986010312012-12-01T21:42:59.925-05:002012-12-01T21:42:59.925-05:00Hi Sandie, dear friend,

You all had better be careful not to catch some of those bugs out there. You should always carry some kind of paper towel to cover your nose and mouth while you are in a place where people are sick, or sneeze or cough their lungs out. When we breathe, we inhale everything around us, the good and the bad things. Be careful! This one is a good post with lots of information for us to read.<br />Thank you for educating your readers with your kind wisdom!<br />Have a blessed weekend, Sandie!<br />Warm Hugs,<br />Starry.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-57535905935285766852012-12-01T21:06:16.140-05:002012-12-01T21:06:16.140-05:00Hey, that's really interesting about the calen...Hey, that's really interesting about the calendar days!

I am one of the ignorant ones, I thought the head of the Red Cross and those types of charities were wealthy folks who donated their time, ha! I learned better a few years ago. It was an eye opener.

If I'm giving to a charity that helps others, I usually am looking for something Christian based; but thanks for the info Sandie about that.<br /><br />That is so true about the Medicare info you listed with observation versus admission. I can attest to that with the reports I type that there are two distinctions between level of care. And it makes perfect sense in looking back at hubby's parents' and their medical needs in their final year of life; when they would go to the hospital they would be "stuck" in the ER for hours, but in reality it was "observation" to make sure they really needed a full admit. They had so many different insurance policies with care that they rarely had to pay any bills so I'm sure it didn't phase them if they were observation versus admit. But it is good for us to know in the future.<br /><br />all great info you shared Sandie!
