Most were 9/11 responders and will have health problems of their own soon, if they don't already. Most are still out of work.

I also asked my Mammo tech about that field. She said all the radiology and x-ray fields are locked up. An x-ray tech told me the same last June when I had surgery. There is just no where to go.
Closing St. Vincent's was practically a crime.

It absolutely was. So much so, that there is a lawsuit! If you only knew the backstories.
