So a friend of mine who lives in Cork has a lovely 3 year old daughter with  bowel condition that needs treatment.  They first attended A&E in Cork with the problem in July. After a three month wait, today they travelled from Cork to Dublin to see a consultant and get some tests done in Crumlin.

They waited in Crumlin for three hours, only to be told, just now, no beds, come back next Tuesday and heres the kicker, “maybe we can fit her in”.

God bless centralisation and our third world health care!

If Amazon (AMZN) keeps going at its current rate its going to cross a significant milestone, namely topping out its 1999 .com boom price of 100 $USD and change.  This is from a low of 5.97 $USD in 2001. Is this just down to its fantastic success with S3 and EC2? Or are there other fundamentals at work?

Whats even more amazing is that Jeff Bezos has held onto the reins through this rollercoaster ride.
