The fact that the name is "Long Island Jewish" reflects that some kind
people who donated a lot of money (and time) to get the thing rolling
did this in honor of their family members (I think this is how it
started).
Currently, kosher is on a by patient only and this is a VERY limited
definition of Kosher. I guess you could say I'm the other side of the
coin (I know I am not the only hassidic Jewish person on an Insulin
pump but I may be only one actively engaged in on-line things).
One thing I have learned about emergency rooms: they treat one
horribly WITHOUT regard to age, sex, religion or any other standard.
They are, by far, the MOST equal rights cognizant organization I know
of (patients have NONE).
OH WELL: I'm going to try to stay away from this topic for another
year or so...
