But on a snowy night in the early 1980's, a car skidded into a stanchion, which hit him in the back. A doctor suggested that Mr. Wilson learn to live with the pain instead of having disc surgery, as Mr. Miele [the rich guy also profiled in the piece] had done. chat Now, Mr Wilson works for Con Ed. And if there's anything that unionised electrical workers have, it's gold-plated health insurance; it's certainly a lot better chat than what I have. If the doctor suggested Mr Wilson not have surgery, it's because the doctor thought that he shouldn't have surgery (and coming from a family rife with back problems--being tall and all--everyone tells me that surgery should be absolutely the last resort). Overall, other than the initial luck of location--the man in midtown has his choice of Manhattan's hospitals, while the other two have to take the slimmer pickings of the boroughs--it's not clear that the bad outcomes which accrue to the middle-class and poor people in the story have much to do with class.
