    Here are several of my "faves": 1. "Make Things Happen" (Don't bother me). 2. "We need Teamwork" (Do the best you can). 3. "Super Saturday" (Come in on a weekend and don't get paid (for...
  4. Some of these providers are very sneaky, too. I was hospitalized with pneumonia back in January of '99. I had full insurance coverage with an HMO through my employer at the time. Two years later, I...

  11. Just a Note of Thanks

    They are WONDERFUL! It's very comforting to know that I have someone on MY side, in these days of being pushed through the Health Care System, as if you were ordering a hamburger and

  13. Cute things manager's say

    The mentally of Management these days is so radiantly indifferent that I could puke. If you and your CNA hadn't gone after that man and something had happened to him, everyone would have been...

    Sounds like my ex, who took off on a scuba diving trip to the Bahamas, despite the fact that our son (who was six months old at the time), was hospitalized with diarrhea so severe, that he had to be...
  21. I think Bush and the rest of his cronies need to have all these people who are increasingly being denied access to health care dumped on their
  22. nurses failed to adequately examine the patients

    This is one of the many reasons why I quit hospital nursing back in 1987, after 17 years. It had become too dangerous..and not worth the risk of losing my
  23. What a way to ring in the new year

    Fantastic!! I've been sweating the days since my last payday, with money being so tight due to the holidays. I held my breath, as I went online with my bank a few minutes ago...only to discover that...
  24. Atlanta Medical Center

    FYI- St. Joseph's is a Magnet Hospital. If you are looking for a progressive Cardio Unit, you might want to check out Emory University Hospital,
  25. If your could do it over you would do. . .
