Nurse Avenger
Here is an innovative approach to relieve healthcare frustrations. A California-based consumer advocacy group has launched an online game called "Nurse Avenger," in which players win points for wasting greedy insurance executives in the name of universal healthcare.
It is a spin-off of many popular shoot-em-up video games. You basically take on the role of the caped nurse crusader and blast the mobster HMO bosses who are trying to kill the patient and deny their healthcare. There are many weapons and levels to master and you can eventually obliterate Blue Cross and WellPoint.
The game was unveiled a couple of weeks ago by an advocate with the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights. It was in response to show support for the Senate Bill 840 in California which narrowly passed the California Assembly.
The game can be played at the following site and it is quite entertaining:

Finally, something intellectually stimulating!(smile)
Seriously, have enjoyed reading all of the postings over the last couple of days.
I would think Healthcare Professionals would have something better to do than sit around and play games. Maybe Doctors could take on a few more patients and then they could pay their nurses more and fill their own coffers and then everyone would be happy!
Love the game, great stress reliever after putting up with the beaurocratic B.S. all day long.
