#loveyourlines Everyone’s thought about them at one point or another – that’s right – Stretch Marks! What are stretch marks? Medically what are they for, why does this happen and if people are created to grow after we are born, why do we get them, sheesh! Well, according to MayoClinic.org:

More than your annual salary...what to consider when accepting an employment offer

When considering an offer of employment, many of us think solely of the compensation that’s offered when determining if we’re going to apply/accept a job. However, when reviewing a company and the compensation that’s being offered for a job, it is best that you look at the entire package of what’s being offered.

While you may be concentrating on how much you will make, do you know what your out…

Spring has arrived….. But don’t get comfortable with the Midwest warm weather just yet! Temperatures can change drastically one day to the next. Last week we had a high of 63 degrees in Michigan and the next day 35 degrees, and this week we are at 26 degrees. Whoa – what fluctuation, right.

This is typical for Michigan, but if you watch the news unpredictable weather is happening in a number of…

Personal Brand - What is yours?

What is your brand and what does one think when your name is called? Professional, friendly, efficient, negative, arrogant, flighty?

Why is our branding or the impressions we give off important? The cameras are always rolling – therefore someone is always watching and you never know if that interaction with you or that observation of you will end up being the topic of conversation.

Don't ignore signs of hypertension by Ro Goodson, PA-C‏

While rounding at the hospital last week I noticed something alarming. I noticed a high number of young patients on dialysis. There were 4 out of 10 patients receiving dialysis at that time. That’s 40 percent! The age range from 32 to 48. I was not only shocked but concerned about how could this happen to such young people. The answer is uncontrolled hypertension! Hypertension can cause…

How lean is too lean?

In a recent discussion with employees from various companies, the topic of how lean their companies/departments are came up. They spoke of how they’ve been able to cut costs and reduce expenses by cutting back on staffing and reducing manpower in an effort to stay above or maintain budgets.

HASTE MAKES WASTE! - Ro Goodson, PA-C

Have you ever had a day they just didn’t start off right. Well, today was one of those days. After a long night of paperwork, I woke up this morning late having to get the kids together, lunches made, gas in my wife’s car and left the house without my badge. For those mid level providers who use badges to gain access to parking garages, and hospitals that’s the most important thing that you…

Procrastination Stops Here!

We all do it. Procrastinate that is.

What will you resolve to do in the new year as we sit 4 days away from 2015?

My Three PA Gigs by Ro Goodson, PA-C

Ro Goodson, PA-C

I was asked yesterday how many gigs (Jobs) do I have? It took a few minutes but I realized I’m holding down 3 different jobs. I’m currently working full-time as a PA in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Being a PA for the past 10 years mostly in internal medicine, I found that physical medicine is different and it took me sometime to switch my thought process. I’m now focusing on the…
