I am a freelance writer with a BA in Mass Communications from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Please check out my production site: http://robinshwedoproductions.weebly.com and e-portfolio at http://rjshwedo.weebly.com. A few of my favorite quotes are: "...Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" (Finley Peter Dunne); "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living" (Mother Jones); "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing" (Albert Einstein). Some things inspire me: people who strive to make a positive difference; sunrise or sunset--especially at the beach. Some things that make me angry: those who can't be bothered to do what's right; the fact that the medical and legal system frequently looks at people's finances before deciding whether or not that person should have access to their services...I could go on...

We've got a name...

Anyone who has commented on this blog and who has a complaint against Northside hospital, if you are planning to send along said complaint to AHCA and to Northside, their CEO is Ward Boston, III. But please, if you send a written complaint to Northside (which is preferrable to a phone call), remember three things, please: 1) send a copy to AHCA (after calling AHCA), 2) BE POLITE!, and 3) keep it honest. I can't emphasize these three things. Sending a copy to AHCA assures that it won't "get lost". Being polite and truthful are absolutely imperative to getting heard and helping us change the system. I don't like being screamed at or having people calling me names or threatening me; I imagine neither does Mr. Boston. If we keep what we say truthful, we stand a better chance of being listened to than if we're rude or not fully truthful.

Let's face it, anyone following this most likely wants positive change here--for all of us and our loved ones. Let's all go about it the right way.
