I use to watch his program, "Culinary Journey" on CNN, I felt bad when I got the news that he committed suicide.

That was a good show. I liked his other one too. Looking back he always did seem a little melancholic.

Not to mention addictive.
People do win off gambling but they spend so much to even get a return.
Me, I want a tangible return everytime I spend a dollar unless Im giving it away to someone.
For me with gambling $10, I thought, "I just gave them my McDonald's money.,

Nope, I dont do all that bitcoin stuff. I put my money in stocks and in real estate back in Nigeria. Cryptocurrencies are just too volatile.

Well I work in an urgent care facility. So we are busy according to who comes in off the street. Xray wise, at times I can go a full 12hr shift without 1 single xray. But I do more than xray at this particular facility, I help take care of other patients. I do drug testing, flu shots, tb vaccinations, help with sutures, and the general sick. So the average patient load for us is about 80 patients a day. At the hospital, I just strictly do xray but we cover the entire hospital, so Im doing surgery, fluroscopy, Er patients, in patients, and general orders. Its nonstop there, I would say I would personally have 40 patients.

Just to better explain.
In the US there are levels of care.
Primary care, That is your regular doctor
Urgent Care - when you can't get in to see your regular doctor. You walk in off the street
Emergency- major illnesses and injuries that cant wait for PC but too advanced for Urgent care setting.

No xray tech but I have been crosstrained to do things that do not require an RN.
Alot of the facilities cross train their employees to do multiple jobs because it saves them money

Side note this a public forum, things may seem more harsher than they are because its being typed so you may not be able to gauge the sarcasm or the actual connotations.

Investments can be in real estate, stock, bonds, gold or you can be an angel investor. To me the best investment are real estate.

Investing in stock market could risky especially during economic crisis except you're an inside investor like warren buffet who understood the game. Many Nigerians and americans lost their money during the 2008 market crash.

Wow, and do they pay you for all the extra add-ons they make you do? I feel only a licensed RN should be allowed to do all that extra stuff to avoid potential legal issues.

Ive had to pass certifications for the extras that I do. I don't administer IVs or anything that only a RN can do.
I get paid my xray rate which is ok since like I said some days there are no xrays to do. I prefer it better than working at the hospital. It was very stressful and I constantly felt like everyone was just a number.

What is your area of speciality? When I had to come through NICU and ICU to do portable xrays, I often thought how hard of a job it is mentally.
