And Chrisdanger, Collin County doesn't just send it's manual laborers. The newly unemployed Collin Countians end up a Parkland, too.

Amen, Chrisdanger.

A lot of people from Collin and Denton County, too, without insurance make their way to Parkland for care. My neighbor, a Parkland ER nurse sees it all the time.

Let's face it, the best that will happen to you in 'Southern Oklahoma' when you don't have insurance is that you'll get a tourniquet placed on your profusely bleeding limb and sent home until you can figure out a way to pay for proper treatment.

It might not be the most beautiful hospital surroundings, but the care is probably better at Parkland that in one of those little 'Southern Oklahoma' hospitals. The care itself in Parkland is very good; women with high risk pregnacies and insurance choose to come to Parkland, 'cause Parklands 'seen it all'; they do a heck of a lot more than put bandages on "momma's big little boy's" soccer knee scrape like those Collin Co. hospitals who only know how to stabalise the hard cases and send them into a real hospital in Dallas.

Parkland is where your future doctor is practicing now!

If Brady Cottle is still involved with this, I wonder if the clientele in Oak Lawn knows of his work with 'ex-gay' ministries?

I always knew that UNT didn't attract the brightest and most gifted of students, but $30 per class for a football stadium? Da...
