A medical clinic management failure on so many levels
« on: February 08, 2017, 07:42:02 AM »

The risk manager read this with his mouth hanging open in shock.  If I was the Board of this clinic, I would be firing a number of the leadership for letting this happen.  The clinic will also be having problems with the liability coverage likely not covering the lawsuits.

Can Alzheimer's be induced? Being the not very nice person that I am I think that would be a fitting punishment for the good doctor.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If I had hung around the university for one more year I could have gotten a Ph.D. in Architecture, and you louts would have to call me Doctor What's-his-name instead of just What's-his-name. I wonder what kind of clinics I could have opened as Doctor Architect?

You could start a reality show sort of like Fashion Emergency for butt ugly houses.

False diagnosis of Alzheimer's is a bitch. Because the patients won't forget you gave it.
I promise not to duck.

Yes, a bullet to the head will make you forget a lot of stuff.  Very acute though.   =)

And thaaaaaaat's the thread folks.  Thanks for playing, have a nice day...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

An Ohio story from the Seattle Times? I seem to recall a hoax here fairly recently along the same lines; non-existant Seattle paper with a Texas story maybe.

Somebody with better search-fu?
