- eevo 14y agoMy apologies. I live in the area where Epic is based. They tend to hire straight out of college and work their employees into the ground. It's a weird subculture over there, but they're swimming in money for all the government kickbacks hospitals get for implementing electronic medical records here in the States. http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/index.html?redirect=/EHRIncentivePrograms/ http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRI...
