Jan, you've started me thinking (watch out). Other advantages of ABM: 1. You can get pregnant sooner, thus bringing more business to the local OB practice. And since your risk of hemorrhaging is greater, it's good to have a close relationship with this team. Maybe you could arrange for in-house IV service next time. 2. R..... Labs stock will rise. Buy some right away. And other ABM companies' too. 3. Also buy stock in the companies who make drugs for ear infections, insulin syringes, eyeglasses, orthodontic equipment, asthma inhalers, and skin lotions. Maybe you'll make enough profits on the stocks to make up for the bills for a sicker baby. Besides, you can play the market while being at home with a sick kid if you get a good broker. Better stop before someone takes me seriously.
