Well you need the cxray to confirm no active disease. But you will have to wait on that. So this might affect your hiring. They are pretty firm on this ppd thing now ever since that med student thing. I remember when I became positive .I had had my ...

BMC is on a freeze. I cant even move laterally at this moment. I have heard that other hospitals are also on hold.

the article is gone:cry: I was curious to read it because we just implemented the chlorhexidine and some of us have had concerns.

I have also shown up late and early for that stupid daylights savings time Gets me almost every season!:smackingf
