Thats irresponsible too
Someone who allows a medical center to get that far behind in payment without doing something about it is not a very good business person in my estimation. You have to be firm and persistent with these accounts you cant just let your workers suffer along with you. If someone cant keep this under some control you can bet they are going to lose their business soon anyway so its better to find a more stable job than to hang around hoping they are going to develop better business sense.
My opinion on this subject is if you are going to step into being an MTSO to begin with you should know that this is a small business and you are going to need to set aside a reserve of money to pay your workers from even if your accounts are late in paying. Other than that you should just have very good credit. Why cant the MTSO borrow from their own credit to pay the workers, then just immediately pay that credit back with the check from the account who owed it. I dont understand people anymore. Some people try to run some awfully poor businesses these days and there is no excuse for it. Almost every Junior College has courses on small business that one can take for little or nothing.
Irresponsible?
I hope you're not referring to me. As I clearly stated, I've only had my OWN clients in the past, clients who have sought me out and I set my own hours, TAT, etc. This is for a company is an independent contractor who is telling me they expect me to work between certain hours yet require a minimum line count. My question was what do companies typically require you meet the line count in as many hours as it takes you OR that you just work solidly between those hours. Nothing irresponsible about asking what the typical norm is for companies.
teenagers
I am glad to hear that some people still set boundaries for teens. My son is 13 and I am strict wtih him compared to what I see almost everywhere. So far he hasn't rebelled but it wouldn't surprise me when you see how wild how so many are these days. No bedtime, no curfew, no manners, skipping school, very foul language, destructive of property, oh man, I could go on an on. It has crossed my mind more than once if/when I will handle these situations. So many of the parents don't seem to notice/care. Glad to know some still do. Keep up the good work. We're following in your footsteps.
Irresponsible pet owners
This is similar to thread on the spotted board about irresponsible owners. The posters there had sympathy for people who were careless with their pets.
When my kids were teenagers,
 they had to do their own wash, along with a few other things. Many days at first, their clothes and wet towels (used once) were on the floor of their room. When there were no clean towels left (I kept 2 for myself), and one morning, no clean shirts that were up to par for my son, he never forgot to do the wash again. Ever. You have to be strong and not give in, even though it's hard. But his wife is sure happy and tells me that she's glad I raised a son who is not afraid to pitch in and help with housework and even knows how to run a washing machine!
As I said, doctors want to get teenagers
to try out the new drug, so, whenever they get hands on one, they try to 'push' it on them, as the OP stated.
It seems to me that the doctor started with this issue as the OP did not mention anything about her previous cervical cancer.
And, BTW, there is a heightened risk for certain diseases to be hereditary, but it does not always occur.
staying home w/teenagers
 Can not agree with you more. Where my preteen & teen hated that I was at home all the time, their friends loved it...duh, guess which mom was there to haul them around before they got their drivers lisc. Still think they should be 30 before they can drive
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! All teenagers need to work for
My mom and dad bought me a $1000 car which I had to make payments back to them to get it paid off. I got a job and did just that!! If you do this, you will learn to appreciate what you have!!! Teenagers have too much handed to them on silver platters these days!!! It is ruining our teens!!
I would!!! I get so irritated at irresponsible dog owners (sm)
I hope you file a complaint. As someone else said, at least it will be on file.
I second the pepper spray!!! We have dogs in our neighborhood whose owners let them use others yards at their litter boxes, so to speak. I don't have dogs but have a yard full of dog doo. With kids who like to play outside, or even when MOWING! that is nasty!!!
Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.
Do you believe parents should GIVE their teenagers a nice new car?
My 17yo claims the parking lot at school is FULL of nice new cars that were given to their drivers. I think she's exaggerating, like teenagers do. She has her grandmother's old car that we have made her either pay for or work off by cleaning her grandmother's house... Value - 500 dollars. I'm a little disappointed in my daughter who seems to be crying the blues here and making me feel like a negligent parent. Heck, I didn't even HAVE a car of my won until I was 19, and I bought it with my dad co-signing and made payments on my own.
what a joke...someone calls you on your irresponsible comment, and all you can do is
comment on their grammer. At least come up with an argument in favor of your original post........or can you?
My point is that it would be extremely irresponsible for her to have more kids in that situation. nm

I think it's terribly irresponsible of the doctors, but ultimately it's THEM who is responsibl
