Carole, that is bad about the juices and the coke! At least do water with a fresh lemon! I hope everything works out with the client and that "inspection" goes well.
I don't doubt you're sick of apts! I'm already determined not to go back to the regular ob right away just to hold off getting into that routine. I noticed my medical bill that my 5min "consult" after my first US was $124! For 5min! And then I had another after the second US that was less than 5min and he just reiterated what we talked about the week before. Now I haven't seen the bill yet from the insurance company for it but if I got charged another "consult" I'm telling them there's no way we're doing that again after this third US! Give me a freak'in break! I'm half debating about canceling my Monday US just b.c my supervisor today said that the higher ups are forcing cuts, and since I don't see enough ppl each day, I might be cut down to working only 4 days a week. That's a $10,000/yr pay cut! She's going to try to help me out by having me do office work on that fifth day and see if that will fly since the nurses are overwhelmed but it doesn't make me feel like I have the greatest job security.
One women who is also a nuclear medicine tech at another office they totally laid off, no warning, she came into work, told her they had to let her go b.c of lack of revenue and she couldn't even finish the day more or less the week, she was laid off right then and there! So cut throat. She was with this company for 7yrs too, great woman, a couple of health issues but she sure the hell didn't deserve that. This economy is really starting to rear it's ugly head and I'm really starting to get nervous.
