In the sue-happy US, cautionary tales from both sides of the fence.
Audioholics offers up a great story on why to think twice before approving your legal team’s less-than-cogent cease and desist letter to a competitor whose CEO just happens to be an ex lawyer who “…wants to […]

I’ve recorded a lot of shows over the years and when I want some company for what I’m doing I pop one in my VCR.
I was watching one recently and realized that there wasn’t even one drug commercial during […]

As most of you know I’ve been writing a series on healthcare, linking to articles detailing the actions of doctors/healthcare professionals, insurance companies and financial institutions. What’s ahppening as opposed to political retoric of what should happen.

Those Americans fortunate enough to have medical insurance have long known (if they gave it any thought) that their sensitive medical records are frequently sent overseas for processing right along with most other forms of insurance processing.

In a post about the repercussions of sexual peccadilloes I said, “I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s [Eliot Spitzer] the only name made public then, to me, something else stinks a lot worse than his hiring a prostitute.”
Although I didn’t see the WSJ opinion piece […]
Good grief, will the guys ever learn to keep their pants zipped?
Eliot Sptizer is just the latest in a long line political and business biggies to be ousted over sex actions of one kind or another.
I’m also wondering how many other patrons of this current sting will be outed. If he’s the only name made […]
Do you wonder what’s happened to people over the last century and into this one? What changed?
When did fudging, lying, dissembling, dissimulating, equivocating, falsifying, fibbing, inventing, misleading, misrepresenting, misstating, and prevaricating, become business as usual?
Leaders, followers, parents, kids; religious or not; whether business or personal, we all do it.
We lie to avoid confrontation; improve results; […]
Healthcare providers’ attitudes towards money often make my blood boil. It’s not just insurance and drug companies and hospitals, but the financial institutions that buy the debt of the un/under insured and then charge exorbitant interest rates on it.
Of course, it’s all excused in the name of capitalism and keeping investors happy, while their advertising […]
If you haven’t heard it already, here’s a story guaranteed to make you think at least twice before opting for any kind of avoidable surgery or hospital stay.
“…hospital-acquired infections that kill nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. each year, according to federal estimates.”
