Resolved Question: Interview problem help?
Hello everyone, Recently I have been accepted for an interview at a hospital fixing medical equipment as a biomed. There were several people who applied for the job and only 6 being interviewed for 2 positions. The problem (well advantage in most cases) is that I did a 5 week workterm, with them that I finished last week. The guy whos job is being filled, quit one week after I started. So this is a professional interview but the thing is that I know both the interviewees, one who has been my boss for the 5 weeks there and one I met with a few weeks ago for a meeting. So I guess this wont be a first impression when I walk in for the interview. I was wondering what kind of tips you guys could offer seeing as I already have had some experience with the company. I just see this as a strange situation as they are interviewing me for a position that I have already engaged in. moreResolved Question: NRL to investigate the game's latest craze?
IT'S the $60 bracelet they tell you has the potential to make ordinary men into super human. So just imagine what it does for superstars such as Wests Tigers pivot Benji Marshall. The NRL has confirmed it will investigate the use of Power Balance wrist bands after Marshall last week exposed one of world sport's best-kept secrets. As he lifted his arm in triumph, Marshall revealed he was wearing the Power Band during his man-of-the-match performance against the Sydney Roosters at the SFS. It is claimed the wonder band can increase an athlete's core strength and power by as much as 500 per cent. And as The Sunday Telegraph began investigating the mystery band on Marshall's wrist, we discovered he is not the only athlete using it. Parramatta's Timana Tahu and Eric Grothe, St George Illawarra's Matt Cooper and Bulldogs half Brett Kimmorley were also said to be fans of the bracelet. So are AFL superstars Nick Riewoldt and Brendan Fevola, soccer's Cristiano Ronaldo, Group I jockey Damien Oliver, Wallaby James O'Connor, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal and world surfing champion Mick Fanning. And it's almost certain the numbers are higher, with the common practice of NRL players taping their wrists likely to be concealing just how many players are using the so-called wonder band. According to the advertising brochure, "Power Balance holograms are imbedded with frequencies that react positively with your body's natural energy field to improve balance, strength and flexibility". Highly sceptical, we put a band to the test in our office and were stunned at the results. Ordinary office workers displayed immediate improvements to their resistance and core strength. But there's a serious side to the craze sweeping through the NRL ranks, with claims the lightweight bands could be football's version of swimming's super suits. One leading player agent contacted The Sunday Telegraph to suggest "they should be banned because it was a form of cheating". "It's a distinct case of one player having an outside advantage over another," the agent said. NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley admitted he was unware of players using the band, but told The Sunday Telegraph that their impact would be investigated. "We've also got rules in the NRL operations manual that says no items of non-standard equipment can be used in the game without prior approval by the NRL," Annesley said. "It's the first I've heard of it, so we'll obviously need to look at it and determine whether we allow them or not. We'd also take medical advice on it." The bands are made of rubber and are unlikely to be considered harmful to other players. However, Annesley added: "Referees and touch judges have the responsibility before a game of checking every player to make sure they're not wearing anything that would be considered dangerous. "It is something that we will look into." http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-to-investigate-the-games-latest-craze/story-e6frexnr-1225849342777 moreResolved Question: Given the following, is it not inevitable that Obamacare's cost will be measured in lost lives of the elderly?
In 2011: cuts begin for Medicare Advantage; the elderly are no longer allowed to use Health Care Account (FSA, HSA, HRA, Archer MSA) distributions for over-the-counter medicine; Medicare cuts to home health begin; wealthier seniors begin paying higher Part D premiums (not indexed for inflation in Parts B/D); new Medicare cuts to long-term care hospitals begin in July; Medicare reimbursement will be cut when seniors use diagnostic imaging like MRIs, CT scans, etc., and cuts begin for ambulance services, ASCs, diagnostic labs, and durable medical equipment. And, additional Medicare cuts to hospitals and to nursing homes and inpatient rehab facilities begin after October, along with cuts for dialysis treatment; Medicare will reduce spending by using an HMO-like coordinated care model; new Medicare cuts to inpatient psych hospitals begin in July; Medicare cuts to hospice begin in fiscal 2013, accompanied by cuts to hospitals that treat low-income seniors. In 2014 more Medicare cuts to home health begin.

Armando Madrigal English 803 Prof. Potratz November 30 2009 Health Care Spending Crisis in America According to the World Health Organization report America ranks third place in handling overall healthcare expenditures, and number one when it comes to health care spending as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). What are the causes for the poor performance America takes in controlling its healthcare costs? What advantages do other nations like France and Taiwan have over ours? To lower healthcare expenditures and save the healthcare system time and money, America needs to change its’ emergency care system, its’ medical and information storage system, and its’ public hospital system. One change the United States could make to improve our healthcare system is to revamp our emergency care system, which would save the system money and would improve car people with true emergencies. In France, the emergency medical services, or EMS, are a branch of emergency services dedicated to providing out-of-hospital decisive medical care to patients with real illnesses. The emergency medical services are also dedicated to transporting patients with real illnesses to separate medical facilities that offer specialized treatment to the patient. Within France’s emergency medical services lies The Emergency Medical Assistant Services (SAMU). In France, when you have a medical emergency, you must first dial the number 15, which the call is quickly received by the SAMU call center. There a physician, attended by secretaries, determines the most suitable response. After a short and precise telephone conversation with the caller, the “regulator doctor” also known as emergentists, who takes into account the resources available at the time, decides on the most suitable solution to the problem posed. The emergentist then assumes responsibility for starting up the appropriate procedures, monitoring its progress, and coordinating all the personnel involved. Upon arrival at the scene, the entire staff comprised of a regulator doctor, nurses, and technicians, treat the patient at the scene. On average it takes 45 minutes for SAMU to treat the patient. If the patient does need further treatment, the regulator doctor chooses a hospital not by its’ proximity, but its specialty. In France, the idea is to bypass the emergency room all together. In America, there are little similarities compared to France’s emergency care system. In America, the emergency medical services are comprised of ambulance teams of paramedics or EMTs. The ambulance teams in America are dedicated to transporting patients with real illnesses to the nearest hospital. In America, when a person has a medical emergency they must first dial the nationwide phone number 911, where the emergency dispatch center quickly receives the call. There a dispatcher, attended by a supervisor, determines the location of the emergency and sends an ambulance team to the scene. Upon arrival at the scene, the goal of the paramedics is not to treat the patient at the scene, but to stabilize the patient in the ambulance in order to take him/her to the nearest hospital center. The entire staff of an ambulance team is comprised of only paramedics, who are trained in first aid safety and handling of medical equipment. The average time it takes an ambulance team to reach the scene, stabilize the patient, and transport him/her to a hospital is roughly 25 minutes. Once the paramedics reach the emergency room, too often the patient will have to wait until a bed or room clears before being treated by an E.R doctor. In America, the idea is not like France’s treat the patient at the scene, but a direct pickup and go type of situation. Emulating France’s system of emergency healthcare is a time and cost effective measure because out of every 1000 calls SAMU receives, only about 50 turn out to be real medical emergencies. This is part due to the regulator doctor who answers the calls, determines if the patient needs a team of SAMU or not. That means in more than 95% of the cases, France’s SAMU team can deal with the call without using the full team, evidently reducing costs of the emergency services. Adopting France’s system of emergency care would help the American system save time, money, and treat those with true medical emergencies. Another change the United States could make to improve our health care system is to change the way hospitals and medical clinics store our medical and personal information by using electronic cards. This would save the healthcare system time and money, which would lower costs on overall healthcare expenditures. In Taiwan, the standardized health record system uses highly innovated technology called integrated circuit smart cards. The electronic medical records (EMR) are a system of medical and personal information storekeeping of patient’s records. With the adoption of the National Health Insurance and medical records, all medical examination record init's an essay of 5 paragraphs. moreResolved Question: Can I be convicted for Theft by agent or Taking pecuniary advantage by false pretenses?
I run a medical supplies business in my home town. One day, a certain man approached me for assistance. He was to bid in a tender to supply and deliver some medical equipment which he claimed to literary have no knowledge about. On agreement that he would pay me for the services at the end of successful completion of the transaction. On that basis, we left discussing how much he was to pay me for latter. As per agreement, i guided this man through the tender (i.e cost prices, selling price and supporting catalogs plus warranty details). It was also further agreed i would have to import the products according to the costs i gave to him. A few weeks latter, he was given orders to supply two of the items he bid for. This man then decided to betray my trust. He bought one item directly using the information on the catalog and only came to me for the product that did not have full contact details on the catalog. He gave me part payment towards purchase of this item promising to bring the balance a few days latter so that i could import that one piece. As we spent time together, he managed to get information about my source for the same and also secretly ordered the same item he paid for to me. A few days latter, he came back to claim the money he paid in as deposit. When i tried to negotiate for my commission and consultation fee, he refused and reported me to the police for theft by agent. I agreed to pay him back 50% of the deposit through the police some 11 days back and i have received a court summon for Theft by agent from our local prosecutor. Am i at risk of conviction for he same? Especially that all our agreements were verbal. moreResolved Question: Obamacare will cost each family an extra $1700/year in premiums; do you really want this?
http://caosblog.com/11195 So tote up the cost of this bill on the middle class: – $1,700 more in insurance premiums for the average family. – Medical devices like wheelchairs and hearing aids get taxed. – Those who are sick must pay an average of about $600 more a year in income taxes because the bill raises the threshold for deducting medical expenses from 7.5 percent of income to 10 percent. – A $404 billion cut in Medicare. – Ending the subsidized Medicare Advantage insurance for costs over and above Medicare. Without Medicare Advantage, the elderly can only augment Medicare by buying Medigap coverage for which no subsidy is available and whose premiums are higher (offered, conveniently enough, by Obama’s buddies at the AARP). – No importation of Canadian medicines and no competitive bidding to hold down prescription drug costs (Obama’s deal to get Pharma’s support and advertising dollars). – A shortage of medical personnel and equipment as 30 million new patients are added without any expansion of the population of doctors and nurses. This shortage will make rationing inevitable, even if it shortens life expectancies among the elderly. And, all of this assumes that the House bill, which imposes a 4.5 percent payroll tax (which will discourage new employment), does not pass — and that the cost estimates of this program prove realistic. Despite the Congressional Budget Office’s concurrence, one can’t help noticing that Massachusetts’ program was estimated to cost $200 million in 2005 and now costs $700 million! This health care bill is, indeed, Obama’s first tax on the middle class.

Sport and recreation career assignment Athletic trainers assess sports injuries, providing appropriate treatment, and educating athletes on injury-prevention programs as well as healthy lifestyles. Trainers help with rehabilitation after an injury. An athletic trainer works with school sports teams, professional sports, or in sports medicine clinics or health clubs. Trainers work in collaboration with physicians and coaches, insuring that treatment plans are followed and athletes are not returned to the game prematurely. Trainers can work full-time year round or on a seasonal basis which varies with each sport. Students should study biology, chemistry, and physics as well as basic first-aid. Some coaching or experience as a team captain is preferable. Bachelor’s and master’s degrees are available in athletic training. An authorized program includes courses such as human anatomy and physiology, psychology, nutrition, and physical education plus extensive field experience. Athletic trainers also need good social and communication skills because they are constantly working with people. Athletic Trainer salaries vary depending on the location and the setting. The average salary is $18.44 per hour, which totals up to about $38,360 per year, comparing to a personal trainer, fitness trainer or aerobic instructor they make a good amount of money. Of coarse though, like every job the salary usually starts smaller and when the amount of hours and experience is increased so does the salary range. Along with this job there are many advantages and disadvantages. Being a personal trainer has its benefits, like you get a free membership to any gym you work at, and meet great people. Teaching a class is also a good workout for yourself. Some cons are it is extremely tiring, physically demanding and is lots of competition out there. You have lots of laundry all the time (being sweaty does that). There are a number of ways for athletic trainers to advance or move into related positions. Some assistant athletic trainers could become head athletic trainers and, eventually become athletic directors. Some athletic trainers may even move into sales and marketing positions, in this field they are able to use their athletic trainer expertise to sell medical and athletic equipment. The appropriateness of this field for myself is not a type of field I would be looking into for when considering what to do with my life. Being an athletic trainer would be a lot of work and would mean I would need to be extremely well fit. I am fit but teaching other people how to be fit and helping them out, is something that I simply not interested in pursuing. I would also need a lot of schooling because you need to know about muscles and first aid. thanks moreResolved Question: army invading hospitals? what do you think of this?

MEDICAL MATTERS: Do terms like ‘killer cells’ and ‘vaccine shots’ actually help the patient? asks MUIRIS HOUSTON TONY GREGORY, the long-serving Dublin independent TD, has rightly been the subject of many news reports and obituaries marking his passing. But I wonder how comfortable he would have been with some of the military language used to describe his experience of cancer? “Gregory loses long battle with cancer” and “he fought bravely till the end” are the sort of cliched phrases that rolled off the presses and criss- crossed the airways when the TD died after a long illness. Gregory will be best remembered for his pioneering work against substance abuse in deprived areas of our capital. In a tribute, the North Inner City Local Drugs Task Force’s Joe Barry said: “Tony Gregory led the way in relation to our country’s efforts to tackle drug misuse and has proved an inspiration to all working to improve the lives of individuals, families and communities most seriously affected by drugs.” What makes this tribute stand out is the lack of military language used to describe Gregory’s contribution to the drugs issue. Between the war on terrorism and the battle against drugs, the rhetoric of war is firmly rooted in the lexicon of the 21st century. And it has crept into healthcare too: we read of the “collateral damage” of chemotherapy to describe the side effects of cancer treatments. Yet the term is defined by the US army as “the unintentional damage or incidental damage affecting facilities, equipment or personnel occurring as a result of military action directed against targeted enemy forces or facilities”. How did we get from this to: “A new strategy in the war on renal cell cancer: hitting multiple targets with limited collateral damage” – the title of a 2008 research paper. Perhaps the author succumbed to the temptation to use military jargon to spruce up his manuscript. Clearly military life cannot be distanced from the rest of the world, but do we really need terms like “killer cells” and “vaccine shots” when talking to patients? I worry about the effect of such language on patients. We ask them to “beat” illness and to “keep up the good fight”. Doctors talk of building up the person’s “resistance” and of prescribing “magic bullets” to kill off cancer cells, all of which may suit those with determined personalities. But what of the meek, the mild or those who are depressed? They may be neither inclined nor able to respond to exhortations to fight back. And unable to respond, it is possible that certain people will feel they have “failed” themselves, their families and their medical team. What about the notion that engaging a fighting spirit will protect you against a cancer recurrence? A large UK study suggests this is a fallacy: a long-term follow-up of cancer patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital found that a high fighting spirit confers no survival advantage on those who displayed extreme fortitude. There are alternative approaches when we face serious illness. One of the best is to view the process as a journey. There will be bumps along the road; some parts will be downhill while others will take more effort. The journey will offer alternative routes and it may be appropriate at times to rest a while. Another advantage of the journey analogy is that you can take a travelling companion with you. Tony Gregory died at St Francis Hospice on Dublin’s north side. I suspect he was facilitated on his final journey by the wide range of health professionals who work there. After all, the word hospice is derived from the Latin, hospes, and it originally referred to the tradition of giving shelter to those on a journey. George Orwell wrote about the powerful role of words. “Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent,” he said. His advice is especially apposite when it comes to the use of military jargon in healthcare. I’d like to think Tony Gregory would approve.

I don't want to sound ignorant or anything. But people these days when they hear "technologically" and "advanced" in the same sentence, they think of some european nation or Japan. What about the U.S. of A? We surely could beat some of these countries in some categories. One is our military, and no one can deny it. We have the most advanced and strongest military on the face of the earth. It would take years for anyone else to just get even close to catching up. Also we do have some of the worlds most advanced medical technology. With that we also have the world's crappiest health care system. Then it comes to Entertainment. Who do you see making more movies packed with more than needed special effects, and action. And yes lately hollywood hasn't been impressing me, besides the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Dark Knight, and possibly Hancock. Why do I hear about so many people in America going digital, and not buying CD's anymore? Would you still consider us lagging behind when actually it seems like we, besides europe, are the only ones downloading music, and not buying CD's like in the '90s? What about technology you know: laptops, software, phones, etc. Major pc makers like HP and Dell have some of the finest laptops in the world, and so does Acer (even though it's not an american company). Microsoft is a software giant with thousands of computers around the world using it's operating system Microsoft Windows. Even though I hate Vista's vulnerabilites with security. Besides that it's "okay", but I still prefer XP (hopefully Windows 7 is better). So then there is the whole cellphone thing. It seems like we were lagging behind Europe and Japan for MANY years. But! In recent years we've been catching up at a fast pace. I hear rumors about Sprint introducing a 4G network. So face it phones from Europe and Japan aren't so advanced as everyone thought. Who invented the world's first touch screen phone? Apple, and who has made the next best competitor to the iPhone? RIM, and I know it's a canadian company, but this applies for them too. Now I know we do have a technological edge over many nations in some fields. But in others it seems like we're still in the 20th century. So basically every country has it's strength and weaknesses, but the U.S. shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to how advanced we are? Some of you might think i'm just trying to prove the U.S. is the most advanced nation on earth. When really there is no MOST advanced nation on Earth. I could name many ways on how european countries, primarily U.K., France, and Germany, make life in the U.S. look the same as in the '90s. Or how South Korea with it's high-tech infrastucture totally dominates that of America's. Even Japan with it's microelectronics. Here's something from the CIA World Factbook about U.S. firms: US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. Here's the link: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html Sorry if I seemed a little paranoid, ignorant, arrogant, etc. I'm just getting tired of people, mostly teens at my school I know, saying we're like some third world country cause we're so FAR BEHIND THE REST OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD. Thanks for reading my very long question. P.S: There's more that I can add like information technology giants Google and Yahoo, digital mp3 players: iPod and the awesome iPod killer the Zune, etc. If you wonder, yes, i'm a very patriotic person. Who wouldn't be!? But, maybe I need to tone down on my patriotism just a tad bit.I know that this question is in Yahoo Answers. I also know this isn't the best category to put it in. I just wanted to put it in YA. moreResolved Question: Is the management of American hospitals and healthcare systems out of control, cost-wise?
I think that a lot of the problem with the healthcare system in America is that the costs are out of control. The management has been hijacked by greedy corporate types with MBA's. The healthcare industry has been hiring when other industries have been suffering and laying off. Most people who used to work at McDonald's go take a class and work at a hospital or nursing home. Hospitals have so much expensive equipment, some that cost MILLIONS. Yet, if you don't have decent health insurance or any health insurance, most patients get charged exorbitant prices for their care! Why should anyone have to go into serious debt for care? It seems like the executives of these hospitals are taking advantage of the situation and extorting people! This is why they can hire all sorts of people, even the dregs of society, and buy all kinds of machines! What's worse, the pharmaceutical industry hikes up their costs by using their drug rep minions to buy expensive lunches, dinners and outings for doctors to bribe them! That is outrageous! I used to work at a restaurant and whenever I needed to charge a rep extra, they didn't care, they'd tell me to put on a huge tip too! All that BS about needing to keep patents in order to recoup the costs of researching the drug are total garbage! I think hospitals and drug companies need to get their costs in line! Every other industry has had to, why not the medical industry? moreResolved Question: arkadaşlar sıkıştım yardım ederseniz cok sevınırım bu makaleyı turkceye cevırmem lazım yardımcı olun lutfen :?
War is not as simple as it used to be. Wars (or armed conflicts, to use the modern term) between states are now infrequent and civil wars, which have always happened, attract more attention than previously. In the face of terror and localized violence to civilians on a large scale within a state the United Nations (UN), or even other states, may feel compelled to do something to prevent such actions in the future. This ‘something’ may involve the use of armed force to defeat or ‘bring to justice’ those considered responsible for the condemned acts. Frequently overlaid with such action is the desire of aid agencies to provide medical and other services to those affected by the conflict. In reality, terror on a large scale tests to the extreme the law's ability to prevent it. This paper is concerned with one aspect of the matter—namely, the activities of freedom fighters and rebels in civil wars and how international law (in the form of international humanitarian law) can be used to protect those who do not take part in the conflict. This is a widespread phenomenon which should not be overshadowed by the events of 11 September 2001. International humanitarian law (or the laws of war) has developed principally to control the treatment of the ‘victims’ of an international armed conflict, such as the wounded and sick, shipwrecked, prisoners of war and civilians. The four 1949 Geneva Conventions and their first Additional Protocol of 1977 are the main sources of this law. Members of the armed forces of a state are entitled to take part in the conflict, are styled as ‘lawful combatants’ and upon capture are to be treated as prisoners of war, entitled to the detailed regimen set out in the third Geneva Convention of 1949. The 1949 Geneva Conventions contain only one Article dealing with a non-international armed conflict (common Article 3) but Additional Protocol II of 1977 (much shorter than Protocol I) applies to conflicts between the armed forces of a state and ‘dissident armed forces or other organised armed groups, which under responsible command exercise such control over a part of the territory as to enable them to carry out sustained and concerted military operations and to implement this protocol’. The article does not apply to sporadic acts of violence, and a state may of course deny that what is happening is an armed conflict. As at 19 April 2001 there are 157 States party to this Protocol; all 189 members of the UN have signed up to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. In this paper I concentrate on non-international armed conflicts, or civil wars, though the term can be ambiguous. There may be doubt whether the armed conflict is international or non-international: a state may disintegrate into separate states; there may be an attempt to take over the government of a state by ‘rebels’; ‘warlords’ may control part of the territory of the state rich in natural resources; ‘freedom fighters’ may seek independence for a part of the state comprised of a particular ethnic group. The intensity of the conflict may increase and decrease. The state concerned may be strong or weak. I shall refer to those who fight against the armed forces of the state as ‘rebels’. Government forces will usually have an advantage, in terms of military equipment and manpower, over the rebels. For instance, the rebels are unlikely to possess jet bombers or sophisticated attack helicopters. The rebels may therefore resort to more ‘basic’ activities that include terrorizing, killing or injuring those who are not taking an active part in the conflict. Moreover, rebels are unlikely to have any knowledge or training in the limits of action imposed by international humanitarian law (it has to be assumed that government forces will have had some basic training in this area of law and that the commanders will wish to maintain discipline amongst their troops). Overlaid with international humanitarian law is the law of the state concerned. Thus, rebels will often be seen by the government as ‘outlaws’ or ‘terrorists’. In such conflicts, unlike international armed conflicts, there is no notion of the ‘lawful combatant’ on the part of the rebels. Top CAN REBELS BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS? HUMAN RIGHTS OF WHAT RELEVANCE IS THIS LAW TO REBELS? References CAN REBELS BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS?If captured, a rebel may face prosecution under the national law of the state, which is likely to include emergency legislation. A prosecutor will have no difficulty in finding criminal offences with which to charge individuals, ranging from treason, murder and assault to destruction of property, membership of a proscribed organization, possession of ammunition. The International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and its Rwanda counterpart have established that rebels may be charged with breaches of the laws or customs of war or of common Article 3 to the 1949 Geneva Conventions (which protects non-combatants, among others), or crim moreResolved Question: what are the particular medical equipment?medicine?

CONCORD, N.H. - Since they first walked the planet, humans have either buried or burned their dead. Now a new option is generating interest - dissolving bodies in lye and flushing the brownish, syrupy residue down the drain. The process is called alkaline hydrolysis and was developed in this country 16 years ago to get rid of animal carcasses. It uses lye, extreme heat and pressure to destroy bodies in big stainless-steel cylinders that are similar to pressure cookers. No funeral homes in the U.S. - or anywhere else in the world, as far as the equipment manufacturer knows - offer it. In fact, only two U.S. medical centres use it on human bodies, and only on cadavers donated for research.
