Left out in the Woods Tuesday, November 17

The trial over the death of Michael Woods is a horrifying account of an emergency room of death. Michael Woods was left in a hallway in his street clothes for 90 mins. while he was dying. His brother,actor James Woods, has brought the suit against Kent Hospital in Warwick.

James woods is in court each day and seems to relive the night his brother died. The actions of the staff at Kent reminds one of the Marx brothers as opposed to an emergency room.

Why is medical care in Rhode Island so poor? Corruption at the highest levels of government has led to doctors fleeing the state. Anyone who can drive finds their way to Boston if they have a choice. The lack of emergency care at Kent is the tip of the iceberg in Rhode Island care.

Go get them James.

Can Caprio be stopped? Tuesday, November 3

It this were a fight the ref would stop it. The race for Governor 2010 is looking like a romp among the two candidates for the Democrats. General Treasurer Frank Caprio has been at full throttle for 3 years and has outraised A.G. Patrick Lynch by a 3 to 1 margin.

Patrick Lynch continues to generate negative press, leading to disappointing approval numbers and lousy fundraising. Lynch got knocked for sloppy book keeping on his campaign and now comes the debacle over his lack of interest in investigating the dump.

Patrick Lynch seems to be the only person confident he can get past Caprio at this point, with less than 9 months to go until the primary. Liberal Lynch needs to kick into high gear and get the East side crowd excited and believing he can win.
