At a private employer, it's the exact opposite. There are never meetings and memos Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807090975131842483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-84361041838615930892016-12-08T12:05:16.589-05:002016-12-08T12:05:16.589-05:00Oh, people notice alright . . . when a loved one d...Oh, people notice alright . . . when a loved one dies in the care of certificated ghouls. Nurses get the brunt of the anger because they're low man in the big pharma totem. Except for emergency care, people would be well advised to keep friends and loved-ones out of hospitals.
