It has begun. The firstborn wave of Baby-Boomers have started out to retire. If you listen carefully, you may listen owners of golf courses cheering. It may be good times for the golf industry right now, but what with regards to 25-35 years down the road. How fast and far may they exaggerate in the Baby-Boomer rush and what will occur when this huge cohort begins to die. There are merely not sufficient people to fill the void and this could trigger a crash to a significant share of the golf industry. Perhaps the only thing Baby-Boomers be grateful for more than golf is their health. If we redirect our focus and look at the affect Baby-Boomers will have on the health care system, it begs us to ask similar questions. How fast may medical care exaggerate and following the “rush”, may we prevent a collapse? Since the mid-90′s in the US, medical facilities have experienced a nurse shortage. Naturally, as the population ages and the Baby-Boomers require more care there will be further stress on the health care system and this shortage is expected to increase. Unfortunately, there are no shortages of shortages in the health care system and the further and added demand of the Baby-Boomers on the already fragile scheme could trigger a collapse in the not so distant future. Perhaps the most apparent example of Baby-Boomer health care stress may be seen in today’s hip alternate procedures. The number of persons who requires medical care requiring this surgery far outnumbers the number of qualified surgeons capable to carry out the procedure. The system is so overwhelmed that some humans are forced to go abroad for hip replacements as well as other procedures. But the reason for the increase stress on the system is two-fold. As noted before, the shear volume of Baby-Boomers is a definitive factor but secondly, the Baby-Boomer cohort is very health conscious and they are happily continuing the trend of increased life span. It will be interesting to see how the health care system adapts to accommodate the Baby-Boomers. Since their numbers are transient it is likely so too will be the government policies. However, it is apparent that changes in the health care system occur very slowly, if at all. With the typical time frame for training a doctor hovering around 8 years, the only thing that changes slower than policy is the number of health care masters in the system. It is a good thing the retiring Baby-Boomers are more health conscious because they will have more active in their health care than their parents. With health care pros engaged in a struggle to keep up to the number of Baby-Boomers, methods of home health care will have to be embraced. The golf and health care industry will likely see increased demand in the up coming years. However, the golf industry will likely better accommodate the increasing volume of Baby-Boomer patrons because it is malleable infrastructure. It is wise for Baby-boomers to have begun to flock to the golf course. After all, shortly this could perchance be the only way for a patient to see a doctor.
A Helping Hand For New Parents User-Friendly Design The Baby Care Timer measures 2.25×3.75×1.375 inches (WxHxD) and takes three “AAA” batteries (not included).
The Itzbeen Baby Care Timer is the introductory multi-purpose nursery tool designed to support new parents do not forget the basic details of baby-care. The Itzbeen has four timers that count up with the touch of a button. No more charts and journals. The Itzbeen also allows you to set an optional reminder alarm for each of the timers, for example: change the diaper each 2 hours, or give medication each 4 hours. If the time limit is reached, the suitable button will light up, and an optional alarm will briefly beep. The Itzbeen has assorted other helpful features: Nursing Reminder Switch – effortlessly reminds mom which side baby nursed from last, Soft-glow Nightlight – to help parents find their way in the dark without waking the baby (the nightlight mechanically goes off after 7 minutes), Backlit Display – so parents may read the times and the clock in the dark, and a Back Clip – makes the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer completely portable and allows for hands-free use of the Nightlight.

If you can even mentally keep track of the times or write them down, doing the “hours” math on when our baby last fed, when she had her diaper changed, etc. is really not as easy as it sounds when you’ve had no more than about 45 minutes of continuous sleep for four days. So this does it for you – four timers with little icons and a left/right slider for breastfeeding (which is also a tough thing to remember, but something you really don’t want to forget). It is exceedingly simple – press the icon button and it restarts the timer – perfect for the sleep-deprived mind. As for the suggestions by some reviewers that this timer needs additional features, such as feeding totals and quantity subtotals, I disagree. I think that additional features would likely take away from the simplicity of the device – making it more complicated to operate on limited brainpower and thus less likely to be used. Those with more complex needs might consider a PDA with a spreadsheet or specially designed program. It’s not often I get to hear that I was right and my wife was wrong (we’re usually on the same page). This was one of those times. 61 of 65 people found the following review helpful. It’s also great for team caregiving, as my husband can hand me the Itzbeen after doing his morning shift, and I automatically know when the last change and bottle were. We use the wildcard button to track bottle expirations too. Thumbs up for the developers of this cool gadget – I hope to see an “Itzbeen II” w/ some advanced features in time for my next baby – although keeping it simple does help keep it easy and quick to use, especially in the fog of a 1am, 3am, and 5am feeding schedule!
