i work as an RVT for mvp. from my experience with mvp they seem to want as much profit as possible with little regard as to how they do it. I’ve personally told my practice manager I can’t mentally take over 40 hours a week 3 times so far and i’m still in overtime ever other week. not to mention it seems like all they care about is how quick we can take a clients money and send them out the door. That being said, I get paid $18.50/hr in southern ohio. A lot of people working at Mcdonald’s make more than me. (i know this bc we hired an assistant, he said he worked at mcdonald’s and it was a little belittling to find out he got paid more than me) They’re so against chewy but when they’re advertising the online pharmacy they work with, they really take an “at least it’s not chewy” view. they never really say anything positive about the pharmacy itself. my final thing is that they still advertise as if they’re not going to make any changes to the practices they’re buying. they told us that, it’s been 2 years of consistent change. we are having trouble keeping up with standards of practice bc they just keep changing. when we brought this to the CEO’s attention he simply said “i’m sorry someone told you things wouldn’t change”
I am 76 years old. I had 4 very wanted pregnancies in the 1976-1982 time frame. My first pregnancy failed in 1st trimester, but the miscarraige did not start, (uterus not growing, ultrasound not invented yet). My Dr. waited for 5 weeks , then I had a "D+C" as I was at risk for sepsis. Heathy baby next pregnancy. 3rd time, I had 1st trimester miscarraige, but bleeding/ cramping without completion. My Dr. had me come to the hospital for a suction curretage as I was bleeding a long time without results. 4th pregnancy was another healthy baby. Both of my miscarraige pregnancies were things that happen sometimes, but had I not had the medical care, in my cases, I could have died of sepsis, or bled to death without the medical proceedures my Dr. had available. Both these proceedures are today in these circumstances considered "abortions". I became a childbirth educator because of these experiences, and later became a nurse, including working in a Labor/ Delivery/Postpartum Unit.
My Brother in law is 83 yrs old . Only 1/2 of his heart is working and he has dementia.He is up and anxious most of the night . They have applied for Medicaid a few months ago and still no progress. My sister cannot get any sleep because she is trying her best to take care of him and she has some serious health issues herself. She has some a weak heart also. The nursing home doesn't want my brother in law there because they don't have enough staff. What is wrong with this system? Our President needs to realize not everyone has the kind of money he has. I have been disabled since 2007 and in order to not be put in a nursing home at a young age; l need the homemaker, l have one now but please Mr. President don't cut these services!! We are human beings that deserve the dignity of life.
