It’s the best way to have a meaningful conversation and it’s the best way to rope in a mentor or look like a star performer. Louis and saw some hospital billboards on the way there and thought to myself, why doesn't my company have billboards on the freeway, we have hospitals right off the freeway as well??? Good question.

The thing is, I think it was probably messed up that I kept working and did not check myself into a hospital. From her hospital bed, the patient blogs about her symptoms, doctors and prospective diagnoses to her dedicated band of followers and solicits their advice on a course of treatment. When he left the hospital he was paralyzed.

He was just days from being admitted to the hospital when a doctor told me I had to get fat into him. I followed my son around all day with spoonfuls of butter, and I kept him out of the hospital until a feeding therapist could force-feed him other high-fat content foods, like, ice cream and French fries. I said, “What about vitamins?”

When I got home from the hospital, the farmer was trying to stabilize things at home. Then she got splashed with water and darted and I fell off of her. I got a sprained neck and a concussion. And I got lots of narcotics to deal with the pain. The farmer always responds to my instability with more stability.

Something with a 24-hour on-call number, lots of opportunity for online networking, and required practice sessions with the whole "awkward conversation/drink holding" tango. There could be body language index cards! Sooo…you wanna start another business?

Of course with the market downturn, I think the commentators have become even more "bitter" to the current experts, so you were probably ahead of the curve in finding a more hospitable forum. I hope you are doing OK. Posted by Scott on December 10, 2009 at 12:42 pm | permalink | Reply I will tell you this.

P.S. Last night I spent the evening and early morning hours with a dear friend in the hospital, as her husband was struggling with his life. So place is always second over the people your with there! End of my Monday Morning Sermonette. He was a wonderful guy and she loved him so much.

If hospitals in NYC did this, there would be a run on grilled cheese ingredients all over the city. Write about how to find autonomy at work, about the farmer, about how to network and build a community. Not only was it not OTT, it was mature, kind & mentor-y. So it was bad enough that they gave me vicodin. They gave me 20.

I work near a large specialist cancer hospital. Two regular sights at the local coffee shop: (i) cancer patients with their bald heads, scarves and drips on trolleys; (ii) staff of the hospital – and other customers who work nearby – smoking. I work near a major cancer hospital.

Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network. As a Gen-Y who stopped going to college I found that real life experiences, networks and self education were more important and vital than a college education for my career track.

My company, Brazen Careerist , just launched a company section in our social network. And Jeremy Owyang, from Forrester Research reports that, "In approximately two years social networks will be more powerful than corporate web sites. Depends on the line of work (police, hospital, fire brigade?). It's a Safari bug.
