JFK Airport Employee Gives New Meaning to Take Your Child to Work Day

*** begin quote ***

An air traffic controller at Kennedy Airport was suspended for bringing his two elementary school-aged children to work and letting them give instructions to pilots.

Probably a bad idea.

BUT, there’s always a big BUTT, is it worth all the attention it’s being given?

No!

It’s the gooferment at work.

TECHNOLOGY: “referal failure” medical error

The Most Frequent Error in Medicine

*** begin quote ***

ScienceDaily (Feb. 26, 2010) — The most frequent error in medicine seems to occur nearly one out of three times a patient is referred to a specialist.

It would seem that technology could eliminate that “disconnect” problem. It’s the “committed database transaction” problem.
