I bow to none in my contempt for bureaucracies, but I have met a number of gummint employees, including some working for the IRS, who go out of their way to be of assistance to the people they interact with.<br /><br />I just hate to see the good ones tarred with the contempt for the bad ones.The Fifth Stringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286987020039323947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-14240953560796335402009-12-16T14:24:46.750-06:002009-12-16T14:24:46.750-06:00Well, it was the non-medical staff likely at fault...Well, it was the non-medical staff likely at fault in Las Vegas. And I have never thought it was the medical staff that would be the issue with mandatory Meidicaid, but the admin staff that handles who gets treated how and when, and that irritates the caregivers into quitting, which leads to manpower shortages and even worse care.Heroditus Huxleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049569750742829144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-6793740874125404972009-12-16T14:17:00.505-06:002009-12-16T14:17:00.505-06:00In retrospect, I worked for almost 5 years in a co...In retrospect, I worked for almost 5 years in a county facility.<br /><br />Talk about people with their heads up their ass, THE NON MEDICAL staff was probably 99%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-72429559002497131342009-12-16T13:37:12.824-06:002009-12-16T13:37:12.824-06:00Yeah, but you worked in the industry.
