  12. I find this disturbing

    zcubed replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Maybe you could just print out that article... and leave it there for them to see, instead of getting into it with them. (unless it has already become an issue) It was written for doctors, and this...

  13. I find this disturbing

    zcubed replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
