8 months agoI’ve worked in hospital systems since I graduated from college. There has been one meeting (out of all the meetings!) that I have absolutely never forgotten due to something that was brought up.
They thought it was super cool to talk about how much cash our new surgical center was bringing in. I know it was small in the scheme of things, but in my head a hospital should be super happy when they don’t have to perform surgery on a person. They shouldn’t be happy to perform surgery so that they can make money.
Yeah, I only call my friends cunts. Most Americans would not be too happy to be on the receiving end of this one.
