Article attached. We are waiting for permission to take massive action? Not advocating violence, but please leave your damn jobs. We deserve better. There would be no MTSOs without MTs. Don't you get it? They already stole our jobs, sent them overseas, created software to replace us, and we are fighting over scraps at slave wages. Those who are happy being MTs, good, but $8-10 an hour doesn't cut it in my world. That's not a living ...

The knee actually looks very good today, but to ____ cover the hematoma that we had cultured back as there is a possibility of suppression. Her calf has a long history of DVT. Should it be: "cover the hematoma that we had cultured back as there is a possibility of suppression in her calf. Has a long history of DVT. Does suppression make sense in this instance? This is a new doctor and dictation is very muffled. Just can't make sense out of this. ...

I am looking for work and notice some companies ask for a salary history. I feel uncomfortable about this, not sure why, but I think it is to their advantage to know this info, not mine. In my case, I worked for my last company for 5 years with one raise and the companies before that are ancient history. How would one handle this. I am not even sure if I have that info on some of my companies. Why do they want this info? ...
