I'm a Finance Specialist at University of Colorado Cancer Center- I'm responsible for the finances relating to Clinical trials for several Disease sites- GU/ Renal, Head & Neck, Radiation Therapy, GI, and GYN. Someone has to keep the money moving so the Doctors and Nurses can concentrate on treating the patients---- that's me! I know we all poo poo big business ( me included) but, my experience is the Drug Companies are generally VERY willing to help a patient with drug expenses; so, like the commercial says ' if you're having trouble affording your medication'.... contact them. Also, if you have a facility near you that performs clinical trials ( not just cancer..) find out about participating in a trial, it could help you or someone you know; and some trials are compensated. thanks for letting me ramble!

I'm a former college professor and corporate trainer. I still could be, but don't want to!
I now have a fabric website and sew items for craft fairs, mostly at hospital charity ones.
Married and raised two terrific children; one just became a doctor on Sunday! Best job of all is being a Mom!

The most difficult people there were the some of the staff who often acted out inappropriately. The kids were supposed to act out their frustrations. They were there to get help. I loved helping them.

I'm a retired financial analyst, and I've never looked back and wondered if I should have kept doing what I was doing!
When DH retired, he asked if I would mind if he did some of the cooking. MIND!!!!!!!! He was already doing the vacuuming, so I stopped cleaning, too. One of these days the house is going to roll down the hill when the dust gets too heavy ~ ~ ~
