My wife recently got a job at a different hospital that didn't have the best rep, but we're desperate and the pay and hours were good, however she's not in a care giver role.

The other night she texts me that they're having issues because they notified the wrong family about a fatal car crash...You can only imagine the chaos that created for not one, but two families.

When she was in orientation she said it seems as they were almost bragging about how pathetic they were. They had recently operated on a teenage boy's wrong knee, killed a baby and a twenty something female by sheer stupidity.

It just astonishes me how a facility such as this is not only allowed to stay open, but serve as an entire County's medical option.

Back when I was a stock boy for a grocery store. (1973-1975) I was stocking Fanta. (Fanta Soft drinks arrived as general merchandise and not by a soda distributor like Coke or Pepsi.)

Because we had extra room and not wanting to leave gaps, I spread the Pepsi out. This guy comes up to me and asks what I was doing. So I explained why we have more Pepsi product than Fanta.

Anyway, he introduced himself as the Head of Pepsico regional marketing. (He gave me his card, and it said Pepsico.) He told me he appreciated the extra exposure I was giving Pepsi. (All I was trying to do was fill a hole.)

I don't know if this is true or not. I asked him why soda bottles (glass bottles) had that dimple on the side at the bottom. He told me that it was because women use the bottles to pleasure themselves and sometimes a vacuum get's built up and it's an easy way for a doctor to just break that out and relieve the vacuum and remove the bottle. (He might have been BS'ing me.)

Well the place I'm talking about is Rowan Regional. When I used to work for Rowan EMS we would honestly talk people out of going there opting for NEMC instead. Even if it was minor and they were a block away we avoided that place as often as possible.

Don't even ask about the frigging VA.

Are you talking about the VA in Salisbury?

Sue Myrick wanted to get an outpatient VA center here in Charlotte. I don't think she was able to get that done.

I hear the Salisbury place is scarey!

Yep, the one in Salisbury.

All VA's are bad from what I've heard, which is a genuine shame.

I dated, well the term dated didn't realy apply to what we did, that worked there. She even hated it! She felt really sorry for the Vets that were there. She said it wasn't even a second rate facility! (And she worked there!) A former co-worker of mine had to go there to get his meds once a month. He hated to do just that.

It's a shame the way we treat Vets in our country.

I used to live behind the Methodist home on Shamrock. Now I think it's called Liberty or that's the company that run its. It's a retirement/nursing home. Helicopters would circle over head at least once a month! You knew they lost another patient! They woudl just walk out the door and get lost. One woman was in a cabinet and they didn't find her for 3 days! (She was dead!) How she got into a supply cabinet, no one knows, or they aren't saying.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get this far odd topic!

Back to hawt nurses!

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
