The patients they care for!

I’m not going to add much to this, it explains itself and many nurses around the country know what’s going on, I’m not a nurse. I have heard from friends who are as this was building to today, and many of them are unemployed, some for long periods, and get find jobs, in what’s been touted as one area of the economy in dire need of, because of what the Hospitals have been doing to those nurses still working and others. Hospital have become, like the rest of the businesses and more, Industries, that which they shouldn’t be!

The corporate mindset we’ve seen develop over the last three decades is well embedded in all the industries and Hospitals, like Schools, All Education, should Not Be Industries!! But we’ve been watching the mindset these last couple of years as it collapsed, Wall Street, Banks,Auto,Oil……………………………you name it!

OPEN THREAD

And away go troubles, down the drain !

Taking Crisis Management to a new level of Blasé Faire, the Supervisor at the Washington, DC Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) finds a mysterious baggie of white powder labeled “Anthrax”  in the Exhibition Hall this past weekend.

What does he do with it ?    He flushes it down the restroom toilet !!!

About an hour later, Capitol Police were notified. The hazardous devices unit found no traces of harmful biological components, such as anthrax spores, during an inspection Saturday that covered the restroom, the route the supervisor allegedly took there and the area where the bag was found.

Capitol Police are investigating Saturday’s incident by reviewing video footage and interviewing employees involved in the incident to try and discover who might have left the bag with the white powder, the officer said.

It remained unclear why the operational supervisor allegedly decided to flush the bag’s contents down the toilet. But visitor assistants with the CVC said there is pressure to keep tours going at all times and that by notifying Capitol Police, it would interrupt the day’s traffic flow.

An hour later ?  

This is a pretty creepy idea for a movie.

Says the blog:

Here’s a quick synopsis of “Foreclosure” via its official Web site:

Foreclosure is the story of a broken family striving to stay together while a curse and the ghosts of a haunted house try to tear them apart.

Ledes reveals in an interview with ScreamStress.com that the nationwide foreclosure crisis served as inspiration for the theme, saying:

Isolation is intrinsic to the sense of horror in the film. The isolation felt by the characters in our story is created through the effect of foreclosures on the neighborhood in which they live.”

Trapped in a home you can no longer afford with paranormal spirits who won’t leave. If there was ever a strong case for a homeowner “walking away” from a home, this might be it.

Doesn’t that hit a little “too close home?”
