Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. OK, so we have this mandatory education inservice so we can improve our "customer satisfaction" rating... We're told that with upcoming healthcare reforms, hospitals will only be reimbursed from government funds if they have a "high customer satisfaction" rating. Then we're told that if the hospital isn't reimbursed with government funds, we won't get paid either. Direct quote: "Patients pay your salary." So... my question is... since about 80% (not exaggerated) of my patients are Medicaid... if I don't get paid, who will pay for their healthcare? ARGH!!!
  2. Rick, I gifted you some of the best stuff I could and that I thought you might need after looking at your inventory. (but I don't know this game very well yet) Chris, what is the max for attack, defense, energy, etc.? I haven't put many skill points into health because you can just buy it at the hospital (after you have enough to kill the bosses). Jobs are getting harder/more expensive so I'm trying to put most points in energy. L96 Attack: 190 Defense: 190 Health: 162 Energy: 252 Stamina: 72 Influence: 58 Recommendations? Suggestions? TIA
  3. I've never run into this in Farmville... WTH is this guy getting at? Is he "in character" for Mafia Wars or just a weirdo? Sent me this message: Master Boss "Don Raper", level 262 Fearless http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/pro...p?id=1103484177
  4. What do you mean by "everything maxed out"? The businesses? It's really tough to get money in Cuba. Did you master all three tiers of each level? I'm almost done with NY, but I'm not sure if I should've mastered all 1st tiers available then all 2nd tiers, etc. That will help my strategy for Cuba/Moscow. I like Moscow better than Cuba. There doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of interesting things to do in Cuba and it's very expensive without much money available. I need more 15%ers.
  5. After more research... I don't think Properties are available to us newer players. I think we only have Rackets. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. edited to add: And this kind of stuff is just scary: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tDS...36SVA&hl=en
  6. Account Balance: $636,428,937 --> how much does it take to be allowed to buy property and where can you buy property? Calculator won't work without Firefox (so it tells me). Thanks!
  7. 87, NY, Cuba and Russia.
  8. Ok... someone please help, I've searched everywhere... HOW do you buy property??? edited to add: And how do you do heists? TIA!
  9. yes you are. But, together... we'll figure this mafia thing out.
  10. Wyoming Antelope club on either Tuesday or Friday night, 4th Sunday and Steel on 3rd Saturday. Great group of locals to help you out and a nice place to learn the ropes. http://www.antelopeclub.org/directions.htm (I think you'd want to click on the "green" marker, not the "red" one like the directions say).
  11. Cliff Walsh simply can't understand how he could lose a fight with 5 revolvers!
  12. Just "Hide" whatever application you don't want to receive notifications from. That will clean up your home page. I can't recruit anyone in Mafia Wars... I'm out of requests. Argh.
  13. Just learning how to play. Add me too, please!
  14. When I got to the statement "the risk of contracting cancer" I stopped reading.
  15. It frustrates me when people, especially medical professionals, compare influenza to any other vaccine. They're simply not the same. Our current medical approach will never eradicate the flu. Current medicine cannot prevent the spread from animal species (pig, bird) to humans or the combination of genes from human strains with animal strains... unlike the other diseases you've mentioned. Additionally, Smallpox and Polio are viral... but Diptheria, Pertussis and Tetanus are all bacterial. Highly contagious/infectious - yes, comparable - no. Viruses and bacteria are very different beasts. The influenza virus and evidence surrounding it's transmission and progression is very complex/complicated. The influenza virus evolves rapidly and replaces a previous strain. Each season's flu vaccine is formulated from a previous influenza strain. A current vaccination may or may not produce immunity to a current strain. This is why people who always get the vaccine get sick one year when they didn't last year. As mentioned earlier in this topic, the younger are at higher risk for H1N1 infection due to the belief that the older population has been previously exposed to a related strain and have already mounted an immune response. You can't say that immunizations are the sole reason for reduced mortality/morbity over the years. Medical advancements in treatment, health care, nutrition, personal and public hygiene, and knowledge are ALL contributing factors as well. I don't promote or discourage the flu vaccine. If you feel that you need or want any vaccine, by all means, receive it. Personally, I don't receive the flu vaccine and will not receive the H1N1 vaccine. "Standard Precautions" along with common sense and good health practices will go a long way towards prevention. I work in a large hospital with a very vulnerable population. I have seen quite a bit of H1N1 without any related deaths. Don't get me started on media hype... argh! FWIW, the term "pandemic" refers to cases of infections, not deaths. Another FWIW, most antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections, kill the bacteria. However, antivirals, like Tamiflu, do not kill viruses. My response is based on education and experience. However, there is a very interesting (and scary) book about the flu, "Flu - The Story of the Great Influenze Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus That Caused It" by Gina Kolata. It includes information on the evolution of H1N1 ("swine flu") and H5N1 ("avian flu"). IMO, a must read. Hope that helps!
