      We have two huge hospitals here, one public (Cabell-Huntington) the   
   other non-profit (St Mary's).   
      I'm not sure about CHH but no one is ever turned away from St Mary's.   
      If one can't pay that is debt is generally just erased after a period of   
   time,I assume.  (And you know what happens when you ass-u-me).

     If one is off more than two or three consecutive days they need a doctors   
   excuse.   
     If one is scheduled for a medial appointment the paperwork from the   
   doctor is attached to the request to show its real and not just someone wanting   
   some time off.

      I'm contracted with security at the university.   
      The university is going more and more toward contract workers (security,   
   temps, etc).   
      With a state employee that isn't working out, it can take up to a year   
   or more to fire them.  Documentation, hearings, etc all that require time and   
   money.  Meanwhile the slacker is still "working" and getting paid.  Even if   
   they do nothing but show  up an   
      With a contract worker that isn't working out they are simply replaced.
