Friday, when I went for the Zometa infusion #4 at North Cypress Medical Center, we were told that we would have to be off the premises by 5:30 pm or we would not be allowed to leave for an undetermined period of time.
Huh?
Why?
Well, seems that Speaker of The House, Nancy Pelosi, was scheduled to be visiting the hospital and there was the matter of security – Secret Service, FBI and the local police force.
Wow. Regardless of your political views, that’s pretty much a big deal…
Speaker of the House of Representatives…
Visiting a local hospital in Cypress, Texas…
Visiting a local hospital in Cypress, Texas?
Seems there’s something about a “doctor-owned” hospital (physician owned hospital) that the government is interested in, for one reason or another. I’m not privy to that info, so I don’t even want to speculate, though if I was to Guess, I’d guess it had something to do with the proposed Health Reform Bill.
So Mom and I are wondering, How I can get my info to Madame Speaker… we asked around.
Didn’t look good for it.
When we were leaving, we saw the local police force arriving, quite a few patrol cars and canine units.
So we asked.
No Way.
Specifically – No.Way.In.Hell.
Security would be so flipping tight, that my chances of getting close to The Speaker were about the same as my sprouting wings and flying off across the pond.
Oh well, it was a thought.
