    Thanks! And that one is in my backyard too! As for area of interest, I'm pretty open at this point. Our company has a new budget for education. Anything that I can bring back to the call...
  5. Where have all the calls gone?

    We've had a number of new (big) contracts implemented since January, so we're seeing quite a bit more calls. It seems to me that there is a lag period sometimes when a new client is signed. Takes...

  10. Do you like 12 hr triage shifts?

  19. In a pickle...

  20. In a pickle...

    Thanks Dave. I think you're right about the childbirth analogy you posted earlier. That's how I read it too. It's funny, we have a chronic pain disease management program where I work. Boy how some...
