I happened upon this topic in searching Google for "doctors lie", because I am literally dying from 10 years of layer upon layer of lies by the medical profession.

I was not surprised to see an RN validating what has to be the most dangerous and widespread hypocrisy in which MD's engage as if it is routine.. and it IS routine.

How do they get away with it?! The almighty 'White Wall of Silence', the unwritten code by which they all abide.  They are fully aware that if they all adhere to the same despicable code, their misdeeds will never be held up to scrutiny by their peers.

I was sued by a surgeon for publishing my post operative photos online after trying for an entire year to get some honest answers regarding a disastrous facial surgery.  That was over 5 years ago and my photos are still online, the Court instructing me to remove all misleading photos from the Internet.  I had them examined by a certified legal photographer who verified they were "unmanipulated" but one would think the doctor's life would have been much easier if he had only admitted he was wrong!  I offered to sign anything he wanted absolving him from legal accountability if he just TOLD THE TRUTH.  Instead, he had his barracuda attorneys chew me up and spit me out.

In the end, his failure to be truthful and instead turn on me and attack with the most unscrupulous character assassination imaginable, created a foundation for other doctors to layer lie upon lie, subjecting me to further medical negligence.

I have reached the point where I would rather die than ever allow another doctor to touch me again, and I vow I will never seek medical treatment for any medical condition, including broken bones, for which I would feel more confident seeking treatment from a veterinarian than an MD.

This, from a woman who lived and worked with a GP for 12 years and revered the medical profession.

I've been reading with much interest all the debate going on about QA but this particular post really caught my eye.

As a former MT/supervisor/QA employee in a major MTSO and having differences in the amount of MT training of my staff, which would determine how I would mark a QA error, I also used the "how would I feel" quotient.  Were the remarks I might make be taken the wrong way; after all, I was just trying to "educate!"

I still feel passionately that all employees, MTs and all, should be treated fairly and with dignity without taking into account whether a person might or might not leave.  In today's MT market, sometimes we "step on toes" because we're human, but I would like to think that most MTs just continue to love what they're doing---even in the bad times.  When compassion and yes sheer joy for the job dissipates, then it's time to move on! 

They used to have volunteers, but these volunteers were given assignments in various areas.  Now the parents have to drop the kids off outside and drive on.  If a parent needs to come inside, he goes to the office, not to the student's room.

You can volunteer and go in and do reading with the kids, etc., but all visitors need to check in with the office and any "in class" volunteering needs to be approved by the teacher and the principal.

I have found this a good thing in light of the world changing.  Fathers have shown up in the past to get their child when a protection order had been filed and they were not allowed to have unsupervised visitation. Of course the mom would forget to inform the school and the kids would always run to daddy.

I have one child left in the elementary school, my older two have graduated and one will be a freshman in high school starting day after tomorrow. (Yay! can't wait to see that bus! :)) I have seen a lot of changes, both with parents and with policies.  The staff at the elementary school know me by name, but I would never dream of picking up my child without checking with the office first.  Every time I check in, the office staff says, "Oh hi!  Go on up to the classroom."  I still check in after 18 years. 

These parents that interfere should be told to sign up for when volunteer help is needed in the classroom or other areas of the school. And only then.  They need to stay out of it.  If they're so worried about "little Bobby" and have so much time on their hands, they should home school and leave the teachers to do what they do best. I've been through 25 elementary school teachers and only had a problem with one who was finally fired. 

I'm working in here, not entertaining my pet.  I love him to death, but this is my workplace, not a hangout for my dog, my cats or my kids.

But I know what you mean.  I miss my pup when I'm working.  It was just too hard to deal with so he was banished from my office along with the 2 cats.  Too much fur on the carpet for one thing and, like you, every time I got up, my dog thought it was time to play or go for a walk.

My only other suggestion is a "porta potty"?

I know some reports do get shot back into the pool now and then.  Luckily for me, they're nearly always LONG reports by my favorite dictators (ESLs are my specialty), so I don't complain at all.   However, the rule here, which is hard to enforce, is that any skipped jobs or cherrypicking is grounds for being severely chastised for the first offense and immediate termination for the second. 

IMO, why not just type it and be done with it????   Doing that takes less time than anything else, and time is $.
