    I'd get the heck out kiddo. No way it's going to be anything but bad for the patients and you. IDPH doesn't seem to care much now do they. There are lots of LTCs like that one, yet, they are all still...

    You have a point there. But, I think the cheap thing wins out because it is being done on purpose in order to make a permanent change. It's happening to doctors too - they don't believe it though - no...

    Could be that once the patient stated that he had pain for an hour, the switch flipped as far as the corporation goes. Doesn't really matter if the patient never informed anyone of his "pain", or if...

    My feet HURT!!!

    All cotton socks hold on to perspiration and become abrasive = blisters and rough skin. Any runner or athlete knows not to wear all cotton socks. Doesn't hurt to try something different and see if it...

    You also have to look at who is hired. Lots of inbreeding going on in hospitals. Nepotism at its best. Nobody cares because they probably never studied in college knowing they already had a
