So did I miss where we talked about the Lovie Jenkins commit?

Everyone asking for a commit and he pulled the trigger last night at 7 via Twitter.

Wrong thread, move it over to the Jenkins thread. You've been warned.

You MI?

Military intelligence... oxymoron much?

 

[InVOLuntary]

If the need for deeper discussion and explanation is what was taken from my post, I failed miserably.
Let me try again...What @Freak said.
It's the only thing he asks from us, surely we can pull this off.

Yep, if that was what you were trying to convey, it sucked.

I'm horrible at posting intent
I type things out that seem clear to me and the when I see the responses, I'm like.
"Man, that chargervol guy, what a putz".
Have you noticed my tagline... should change it to "meant"

I'd never disrespect my military brethren, MI tells me where the bad guys are that need to disappear!

I got it twice. I was MI and then Signal. "You may talk about us, but you won't talk without us!"

I’m glad Freak stepped in on the healthcare issue. I wanted to post more last night but didn’t want to continue to sabotage the RFFT thread.

So many problems and everyone thinks it’s the other party’s fault in healthcare.

I work for a not for profit. I see an average of 20 patients per day which is way more than the average Hospitalist NP. I make about $40,000 less than the average. I’m salary and would make the same if I saw 5 patients a day.

I absolutely hate the financial side of healthcare. I just want to help people if I can. I could take another job easily. Been offered by folks. I love my job though. My hospital does a nice job of providing compassionate care for those in need. I have patients that we provide weekly service for that never sees a bill. I know them well now. They know me and my family . I would hate to walk away from those relationships and knowing the impact on their lives.

We absolutely turn a profit still. So to keep not for profit status we have obtained multiple critical access hospitals that were failing. We spread the profit from our hospital to keep their doors open and provide care for smaller communities.

Unfortunately it’s a business. So many negatives. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat with a patient that has just been told they have a blood clot in their lungs. They are crying their eyes out. Not because they have a clot but because I have to put them on medication that costs anywhere from 500-800 a month AFTER insurance. I contacted manufacturer of Eliquis and they provided us a “starter kit”. Free first month supply. It’s something but still. Other option is Warfarin. Much much cheaper But you have to follow so close with your PCP for weekly labs. How much does Co pay cost at the end of the month?

I don’t know the answer. Government ran healthcare has been a disaster in some areas the world. Do you want the Government telling you your torn ACL is an elective procedure? Or you can’t have this life saving procedure because you’re too old or too fat and statistically will die soon anyway? This happens.

Like it or not things changed for the worse when we tied Medicare reimbursement to patient satisfaction. We live in WebMD age where everyone thinks they know what’s wrong with them and how to care for their illness. Can’t tell you how many times I have walked into a room and said your nuclear medicine stress was negative for ischemia and they are mad!!!??? I’m like it’s a good thing. The patient then demands an arteriogram which a procedure that runs a line into your heart to look for blockages. Inevitably they are pissed. Take the survey by Medicare and hospital gets a reduced amount paid for service because they wanted the procedure.

Ultimately everyone suffers. I just want to help

In fairness it’s usually a ground element that tells you where bad guys are that need to be destroyed..... unless you are HIMARS.

It seems inevitable on topics such as healthcare that they eventually become political. I moved it here, even though I think it's best to completely avoid political discussions in this forum.

Thanks, Frank lol

 

[SergeantVol]

You MI?

If I told you, I’d have to kill you...

Not for strategic fires.

All source or were you one of those dirty single source collectors?

I had next to nothing to do with actual intelligence. I was an intercept systems repair guy. Back in the day, MOS was 33P...late 80s. Came back as an O type and re-branched Signal, and arguably had even less do to with anything meaningful.

I am a 96B, now 35F. Technically I’m a 35X since I have to wear a diamond. Ready for my star in the next year-ish.

 

[BAJAvol]

@volatil . That was an excellent read. As someone making a career change into healthcare, I enjoy reading people's perspectives on todays healthcare in America. I hear a lot from my wife as well. She is a nurse at rural not for profit.

 

[SSVol]

Well dang, can't call you Sarge any more. Henceforth you shall be Top! And congrats on SM!

Which reminds me of a top I had at one stop. He addressed the company and explained that he was to be referred to as First Sergeant, because a top was a child's toy, and he clearly wasn't a child's toy. CO referred him as Mr. Personality and the rest of us called him...well...I can't say on this family friendly board.
