Nope. 12 month standard contract, and that's it.

I've handled tens of thousands of patient files, on paper and electronically, talked to thousands of patients face-to-face and on the phone, assisted doctors and nurses at three different departments in-house and at several other hospitals and private practitioners, trained five other people to do the job and done that well...

The list is endless. I saw a statistic for the hospital the other day, where the average percentage of sick days for the whole hospital was 6.6%. Over the past 12 months, I've had exactly ZERO sick days.

Like I said, I'm happy with my performance. I haven't done it for salary (which wasn't high) and haven't done it to please any of my co-workers (although that's been successfully accomplished many times over). I've done it so I could look at myself in the mirror at the end of the work day and think "good job".

And that is good and nice!

Also it was very much worth to have that job in your resume!

You guys do realize the NFL starts the regular season this week................real football


Who's your team, Bruce? I've always been a Browns fan, and always will be.



Having grown up 300 miles from the nearest NFL team I don't really have one. I just wanted to start a friendly discussion


Well, it worked and the arguments ensued.

Now being a good southern boy, I must ask in curiosity what 'barbecue' means in Sweden?
