I don't do a lot of prostate exams in Occ Med, but hernia checks are another story ...

Thanks again, all - appreciate your thoughts. Time to step back and think over a lot of things.

Hmm, 15 months? Maybe daycare.

So sorry to hear your plans were changed against your will, ortho. 15 months is plenty of time to re-plan, though. Who knows where you'll be by then, either mentally emotionally or physically? All the biggest letdowns in my life have happened when I was trying to Plan (with a capital P) too far ahead. I predict that 15 months from now this job will be a distant memory, and you'll be glad you didn't get it.

Thanks. True, I don't know where I'll be next July in terms of health. It does appear that the hospital has decided to take a pass; I've looked around online and found a number of recruiting ads that have been taken down, saying the job is no longer available. There's still a job posting on the hospital's web site but probably just an oversight. After December, when the CEO shook my hand and said we'd write up a contract, I didn't think they'd advertise. From the dates of the recruitment ads it looks like they were on the verge of hiring my colleague then.

Think I'll look at the possibility of working independently. Health insurance is the issue - but if I can get that worked out I'd rather be independent. At least I'd know the boss won't screw me over.

You forgot "turn your head." You don't want them all to cough in your face.

orthodoc · 03-17-2013, 12:05 PM

You're right ... I always say 'turn your head'. Half of them don't, anyway.

ZenGum · 03-17-2013, 06:13 PM

Which head? and how?

orthodoc · 03-17-2013, 07:20 PM

Preferably, neither one should be staring me in the face.
