  9. Anyone not making med errors?

    Amen, Amen,
  10. Economics is not my strong suit. Are you saying that they would want payment from gov't for the services they pay for? And if the gov't would have paid the same amt anyway, what's the problem

    So did she tell the guests what she was serving and did they choose to partake? Having traveled to a few third world countries and entertained many internationals in my house, I long ago learned not...
  15. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    Sometimes I ask the really hairy chested guys if they want me to shave a smiley face when I'm prepping their chests for
  16. I just don't understand why pvt. insurers would be prohibited except for non-necessary proceedures. I mean, they may not be needed but I don't see why they should be
  17. "The Jesus Factor"

    Absolutely. Much of the time when a pt brings up one of the above subjects, it is in the context of saying what they believe. Sometimes they just want to talk to someone about anything and it would...
  18. I know somebody addressed this earlier in the thread but I can't find it. Why are pvt insurers banned? It seems to me that if someone didn't want to use the hr676 system why not give them that

  24. I wish someone would write a book about....

    Too true. When I worked day shift on a cardiac unit, the shift may have ended at 7:15 pm but the paper work usually went on until 8 P or so. I had a really great day once and got home at 7:30 and my...
  25. "The Jesus Factor"

    You're right OP didn't say the pt had inquired. She also didn't say the pt had not inquired. Truth is she doesn't know b/c she wasn/t in the room. Sincerely believing I know the way to heaven doesn't...
