My female drill sergeant heard the noise, ran upstairs, saw me pinned against the wall, and her only reaction was, oh and walked back down the stairs. I was then summoned to their office and told that if i even dared to report either incident, that it would be their word against mine. And that there would be more punishment to come. The next morning i didnt know how badly my had been injured. I tried to do pt that morning and my shoulder was completely out of joint with the first push up. They personally escorted to me to sick hall and told them i dislocated my shoulder doing and that is what i was told would be my story. I managed to get out of basic. But continued to have problems with the shoulder. I also had bruises on my hips from where he had thrown me to the ground after the drill sergeant showed up. And i thought they were just bruises. My parents reiterated to me that the only way to survive this was to act as if it didnt happen. And not to ever speak of it again. But i didnt

Next, miss jenny lee, also from arkansas. Good evening. It is a pleasure for me to be ere today. Because i get a chance to no longer be silent. I knew when i was a little girl taking care of my mom, just after she had broken her back, that i wanted to be a registered nurse. School career going towards that goal of being a registered nurse. Senior year in high school, our country was attacked verseas. Libya bombed a popular g. I. Bar hangout in frankfurt, germany. President reagan responded swiftly and with the least amount of casualties possible and taught me that i wanted to e a soldier too. So that i could combine two dreams into one. I could enlist, become a nurse and also serve and make a career out of it. Those dreams were swiftly taken away from me. My second week in basic training, i had gotten sick from all of the immunizations and my rill sergeant, who was often under the nolves alcohol more than he was sober, said that i had to be isolated because my fellow recruits said that

Guest i think the amount of

Health care system on the federal government and moneys from medicare and medicaid and other sources . Medicare represents about 23 of the 2. 4 trillion spent every year in health care in the country. Edicaid is another 16 i think the latest figures i have seen are about 39 of the 2. 4 trillion is medicare and medicaid. It is a major component of the health care spending. How would you describe the relationship between the mayo clinic and the federal government . We have had a long relationship with the federal government. Many, many decades working closely with them to advise them on policy and regulation and sharing our model. We believe our model of coordinated care focus on the patient provides better efficiency, safer care, better outcomes, and overall with lower cost. We have sure those message
