This particular story was about my first job in medicine during the 1980s in Providence, RI. By the time I retired a couple of years ago I'd been working in the health care field for about 30+ years - always support of one kind or another rather than surgical or clinical.<br /><br />I'd love to know more hair curling stories about your experiences.

You appear to be someone who would be interesting to know. I'll go back and read other posts as I can, being in my twilight rocking chair world. <br /><br />Oh, and if you want to know some stories from the medical field, though not transcription and medical records, let me know. I know some ICU and surgery stories that would curl your hair. <br />CheersShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450270830860120345.post-29956846641402344552013-03-27T17:45:47.844-07:002013-03-27T17:45:47.844-07:00Hello again, Don QS.

I've always thought fun is where you find it too and I've had a fair amount.<br /><br />Your story reminded me of when I spent a couple of years working for a researcher at OHSU when a major grant proposal was under review. Somebody suggested sending me out to buy tickets and someone else who noticed my smile said, 'If one of the tickets won, she's never come back'. Of course, I would have.. at least to visit.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450270830860120345.post-66405874279147863312013-03-08T23:23:31.886-08:002013-03-08T23:23:31.886-08:00Oh my goodness.

I never bought a lottery ticket (like Robin Williams said, it's a tax on people who were never all that good in math) but when the stupid thing was way high and the guys at work were getting a huge pool up, and I was still refusing to part with a buck, someone came up and whispered "what if the pool wins and you're the only one left here?"
