December 3, 2012 - This ends Cora's storyline, and though payment plans and whatnot exist to ease financial burdens of patients, Dr. Gregory's "solution" is relatively atypical and fairly irresponsible. Such poor management by Dr. Gregory likely contributes strongly to the Vanessa A. Gregory Memorial Care Center and Women's Clinic's financial difficulties even though, to my knowledge, most Women's clinics manage themselves fairly well, but I gotta create drama somehow. Besides though money can have a significant impact on someone's access to medical care, it doesn't change a person's need for that care and it's very difficult to put a price on such care when the cost of not performing medical care involves a person's life and livelihood.
