The nurses expressing concern about the plan during 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: the remote hearing last night. They're asking the Department of 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: Public Health to deem the deem the ten bed impatient 36 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: burn unit an essential service and put a stop to 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: MG Brigham's proposal to close the beds. The nurses say 38 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: the plan would endanger patients and reduce emergency preparedness. Brigham 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: wants to combine Brigham and Women's ten bedburn unit with 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: a larger one at Mass General Hospital.

We have 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: cold weather heading our way this weekend. We haven't felt 44 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: in years. Could have many out there thinking about alternatives 45 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: to traditional ways of heating our homes. 46 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: Can you hear that? That's the crackling of a wood 47 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 4: stove and potentially the sounds of some serious savings. It's 48 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: been huge. 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: I don't burn any oil. 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 4: Eric from Middleborough says he's never thought about heating his 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: home with anything but a wood stove.

Even if you have electric, it's still 54 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 4: another bill that's going through the roof. Eric gets one 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 4: delivery of wood each year, and he's good to go. 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: A long truckload of wood somewhere between eight hundred and 57 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: one thousand. 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 4: Dollars versus that monthly gas and oil delivery a good deal. 59 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: You still save them a lot. 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 4: People are certainly weighing their options.
