Interesting that you should mention this, that is precisely what they did to me when I went to San Diego for the operation last summer. The "disabled" room had almost no furniture and a cavernous bathroom with no decorations, looked like the shower room at a prison. They had the bath tub filled with so many gadgets for lowering somebody into it that I couldn't even stand in the thing to shower on my own two feet. The only good thing about it was they place these rooms near the lobby so you can get back and forth easier. For the privilege of this room which I did not request because I was perfectly ambulatory at the time, they wanted $250 per night, with very steep fares to get you to the hospital in their shuttle instead of free like the place we stayed the year before. Fortunately, they have to give discount rates to patients of Thornton at UCSD or I could not have afforded this uncomfortable room.

As far as any UN resolutions, obviously they have forgotten that UN troops are raping women all over Africa after they proclaimed the Year of the Woman. Seems to me they also reported record slaughters of children in places like Dafur and children being sold into slavery in Sudan during the UN Year of the Child. We are all going to be better off if the UN would just quit with these preposterous proclamations which they will never come close to affecting.
