  4. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    I have actually witnessed the "yelling" a number of times at the hospital I used to work at. One doc in particular would get ****** about something a nurse had done ( or not done) and starting yelling at high volume and cussing. This was the norm a...

  11. Best vehicle to use for visits????

    I am currently driving an 07 Hyundai Sonata and I love it. Gas mileage is not the greatest (21-25 mpg) but it is in good condition. I put around 500 miles a week on it so I am sure I will be in the market for a new one in a few years.
