...I see all the politicians who are speaking out against the NFL refs situation--how terrible it is; pointing to the greed of the NFL, etc--but not a one seems to notice what has happened in the world of "medical language specialists" who have no union protections, have suffered under the greed of MTSOs and hospital administrators, sometimes reduced to filing for bankruptcy, losing their homes, living with no health insurance coverage, and depending on food stamps.
I guess we know where our values lie in our society....the almighty sports machine.

[ In Reply To ..]...there would be two "Dislikes" for the OP. Can't quite figure that out.
I Just heard a report on a news show about this, and they're saying that the replacement refs (covering for the NFL refs) are making too many mistakes, missing calls. Doesn't this sound a bit like the MT work that's being done by either the VR program or the overseas MTs, i.e., making too many mistakes? This news report said that some politician actually wants to introduce a bill that says that the NFL isn't allowed to outsource the refereeing to these poorly equipped high school and college referees who have been replacing the NFL refs. He or she wants a law in place that the work can't be outsourced!!
I have to say, it sure sounds like football is much more important than our medical records in this country.
The funny thing is UnionBuster Scott Walker - wants union refs back
[ In Reply To ..]guess unions are only important to him when it's football.
My thoughts exactly! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The irony and hypocrisy of this probably aren't all that surprising, though.
According to Aaron Rodgers: ".....the game is being tarnished by an NFL who obviously cares more about saving a little money then(sic) having the integrity of the game diminish a little bit."
See any parallels here to caring more about saving a little money than having the integrity of the medical records?? Maybe the PTB feel that our medical records integrity is only diminished a little bit(?).

Do you all think that 12 people who got to together to sit in on this case could all be idiots? I think maybe they didn't deliberate and came to a rash decision based on the fact they had been sequestered for so long and wanted to get home. Not sure of the idiot status though but they remain in hiding and I think that is a good idea because of the outrage of their decision. I saw the evidence and heard testimony. There is no way I could set Casey ...
