I had a fitness for duty exam paid for by my employer. I asked the Dr. for a copy of this report. He said he would have to check and see if he could give me a copy or if my employer had to give me one. I thought my medical records were actually mine regardless of who paid.

Addictions for sure. But what about the innocents affected by those with addictions? Partners, children? What about those with
serious emotional problems who can't help themselves?
Do you know we pay trillions in taxes to help the underpriviledged
in this country, only to have those who are supposed to help them
leave them out on the street to die? Because they have a personal dislike for them or have a "bad hair" day? And they don't even care?
Shouldn't Government set the example? Instead of justifying
negligence by complaing about paperwork and being back-logged?
And demand more professionalism?"
I'm not trying to kill them like they're killing us. It's the stinking
attitude we have to deal with that needs confrontation. And if they
make a mistake, it needs to be corrected.
Stand up! Get organized. Use confrontation, but be reasonable
and fair.

I have heard many gun owners say that if the government tried to take their guns, that they would use the guns to fight the people that try to take them. At what point would you pull the trigger on someone trying to do their jobs? Second, how could you fight the police/army that have machine guns? Would you risk everything to make a stand, or would you give in and try to regain your rights in court? These are the things that you have to think about and discuss now, not when they come knocking at your door.

why do people think they know?

I find it really scary when people decide things like that for themselves and don't even believe the courts or evidence or due process or anything.

Poor little guys feel shut out. I remember the last six years when, after having been threatened with anthrax, Democratic leaders weren't even provided with chambers to hold meetings.

What goes around comes around.

Does this amuse or sadden you? Does this enrage or make you feel justified?

When Bill was first in office, she repeatedly promised to reform our private healthcare system. It was a big deal because no First Lady had been given so much media coverage for taking up such a cause and promising to personally deliver widespread reforms on 'behalf of and for the benefit of all Americans.'

The media hype concerning Hilliary's promises concluded with new regulations precluding providers from having to abide by a variety of previous responsibilities plus, a variety of mandated new restrictions placed on provider services. Of course, the outcome of Hilliary's venture into healthcare reform received little media coverage. I remember watching just a few press releases on the new legislation and feeling lied to, cheated and deceived.

I was suspended more than two months ago for swearing at a teacher, and yet the kid who stabbed a girl in the ear, which caused her to be temporarily deaf in that ear for over a week, and needs surgury, is still in school and didn't get in trouble at all. Even though several witnesses say that he told the girl that he was going to stab her, he claims (and the vice principal believes) that it was an accident.

I went to my doctor in July 06 for the sensation of fullness in my ear. They told me that I had a severe wax build up and proceeded to syringe this out (several times with alot of force) to no avail. They referred me to a specialist. The specialist removed the wax via an instrument while I watched on the monitor. The specialist pointed out the blood and tearing of surrounding membranes from the syringing my doctor did. The removal took all of 5 min. Two weeks after this incident, I lost all hearing in the affected ear. As of date I have not been able to hear. I called the specialist back and reported the loss. He did a series of test and concluded that the loss would not be reversed. He did not indicate to me the reason for the initial loss. Is this just cause for a lawsuit? I am not out to "get" someone. But was my original doctor negligent in the syringing process? If so, should this process of syringing not be allowed. What are your thoughts on this matter?

The childsupport guidelines in the state of Florida are written to be deliberately unfair to the non primary custodial parent. While I have no problem supporting my children I do know the difference between Child Support and Shrew support. Moreover I feel the default scenario should be that any father who wants greater than forty percent of the overnights should be granted it and the benefits of such an agreement. Noting how unfair this system is I was wondering if anyone could tell me what part of the 3rd Reich they originated in.

The framers of the Constitution who wrote this document were all men. Could it be that back then and for generations to come, women were left out because they defaulted on not being fully human and equal? Things have changed since then! But, why weren't they really included in the original document?

With the pressure to have these children adopted are the rights of the parents at risk? Do the parents lose rights to their child if they are deemed unfit to care for their children?

I'm not trying to do anything illegal or trying to get out debt. This is about something far more persona.... breaking away from a very abusive family, whom I love... and I hate.

I would like to leave them in good terms, but if I do that but then don't contact them, I fear that they may be offended and have more ammunition thrown at me. If I do openly say that I want nothing to do with them, then it eats me up and makes me feel worse.

I would like to live my life without giving anyone else a second thought, and I fear that the only way I can do that is if they think I'm dead. I have since moved nearly 2,000 miles away from where I used to live, but unfortunately, I have taken all the issues with them with me and it is on my mind all the time. I want to make a clean break from them, and I want to do so in good terms. Is this possible?

I live in the USA, and this "Sentia" person approached me to adopt her son to whom she purportedly gave birth on 17-JAN-2007. Her "roommate" is Sheila, and I was to send $2200 to her (Sheila) via western union so Sentia, her attorney "Barrister James Smith," and the child could all fly to the USA so she could give us her child. Western Union flagged the transaction and wouldn't let it go through. We're hurt and angry, and would love to find out if there is a way we can alert UK law enforcement as to the activities of this person/these persons.

I was admitted to the hospital last Sept.2006. My health insurance paid most of the hospital bills and there were still balance that i know it is my obligation to pay for it. After I received the billing statement i called up the billing department to arrange a payment plan but they will not agree me paying 100$ to 200$ per month because they want me to pay off the balance within 4 months right away.Unlike the other hospital and my doctors they would accept whatever I can afford to pay,,but this hospital they wont allow me, instead they reported me right away to the credit beaureau, and also told me that whatever the remaining balance they are going to sell it the the other bank and it is my obligation to pay that bank.But on my side ,,I still continue to pay them and I didn't miss any payment to that hospital and still continue paying until now .Do they have the right to endorse my account balance to the bank without my consent? I guess they are trying to make business to that bank.
