I get and appreciate that, but I really don't think it's appropriate to hit someone over a turkey sandwich. If you're able to eat that and walk around on your own and watch the ball game, pretty sure your suffering isn'

And that is indeed, the goal--Urgent Care unless you are actually having a heart attack or some such (or it's after hours). Emergency room is just that--for Emergencies. It's going to take a massive public education campaign for

My personal experience leads me to hypothesize that it's just simply how fast patient requests are fulfilled and how well their questions are answered. A LOT of that comes down to nursing. The doctor may explain things incredibly wel

I appreciate and understand that they are significantly more broad than the friendly staff metric. However, patients who feel the staff were friendly tend to give higher overall ratings. And I know that you stated that you don't cons

It's not mismanagement. It's a matter of applying business concepts of productivity to the healthcare setting. Ex: In business, if Joe the factory worker can make 100 widgets in an hour, and Mike can make 150 in an hour, with the

Little bit of background as to why I think I can answer this: Three years ago, I ran my own web design/development/marketing company, doing a lot of the front end UI/UX stuff, as well as the marketing plans for my clients. I

I think there will come a time when Facebook is replaced. I don't, however, think it's going to come as an obvious social networking site. Let's back up a bit to what Facebook was in its nascent days: a place to go and see w

I'm waiting! Application says 'In-progress'...I am refreshing like I did my admissions responses for college, ha. Good luck to you and the others. Wonder how many people applied in total?

I think that an introverted network would actually be more of an asset than an extrovert's network (and FTR, I'm a total extrovert...which took years of work to get to). Hear me out: When you're an introvert, you tend to be

Currently work in healthcare, with bedside experience on an oncology/stem cell transplant unit. Many thoughts on this article: I think this is going to have a big impact on radiotheraphy once it becomes commercially available, and hop

In short, yes. I think canola has an umami flavor that I don't usually want in baked goods (although sometimes I will change things depending on the flavors I want in the dish). If you're brave enough, take some time to actually

Many years ago, worked as a line cook in a high-end restaurant. TL;DR version of what I learned there (and still my rules of thumb): -EVOO is best for salad dressings, oily dipping sauces. -Olive oil is best for raw emulsions (aioli, etc)
