Talk:Overlook Medical Center

Created article October 20 2009
Still unsure about when Overlook was founded; so I put a "fact" tag after the date of 1902 (which was a guess). Included sources; perhaps more physical description of the hospital is needed? Perhaps rankings or ratings information as well. I may do more pictures.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Did you know?
...that this article has been nominated for Did you know? --Una Smith (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * No I didn't know, but now I know, thanks for informing me! Cool about DYK stuff. Thanks, Una! Overlook is my first hospital article; I've been doing BLPs, a firm (BMC Software), battleships, libraries, different stuff, but basically I'm a nooB, bigtime, learning as I go.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The "hook" has issues. Please see Template talk:Did you know. --Una Smith (talk) 14:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm unclear what "hook" you're referring to. About issues: everything has issues; this article, me, all articles; sometimes I have an issue with my own issues (example: why is Tomwsulcer such a boring writer? Answer = I don't know). If people wish to fix the article, be my guest. :)  .--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I read up about "hook"; so I understand what you're talking about, somewhat like a song lyric's "hook". Yes, the alcohol-to-lessen-contractions yes has issues. Not my fault. I didn't make this factoid up; perhaps Time magazine did? This is an article about a hospital and I suppose I could dig up interesting stuff by keeping on digging, to possibly find a better "hook", but there are other projects I'm interested in working on. I remember the car from Back to the Future (the movie) -- the DeLorean -- was built by a designer named DeLorean, who I think passed away at Overlook Hospital years back. Still, not much of a hook. I'm pretty much done researching Overlook Hospital but if I come across hook-worthy factoids, I'll put it in the article and let you know. Otherwise, I'm doing other stuff, but thanks for thinking of this project and nominating it!--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:48, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Moved here from article
I don't know what this has to do with this specific hospital:

One newspaper reporter described dying in New Jersey as hard and expensive: "the sick and elderly get more tests, see more doctors and endure more procedures than patients in any other state. Yet they do not live any longer or suffer any less. Interviews with families, physicians, ethicists and health care experts, as well as several new studies, create a picture of dying in New Jersey that resembles a runaway train ... In New Jersey chronically ill Medicare patients spend an average of $39,809 during the last two years of life, the highest in the nation ... A Brown University study found that nursing home residents in New Jersey are more likely to be hospitalized than similar patients in most other states."
