It is possible for a doctor to be a jerk to patients and the people he/ she works with and still make a lot of money. True or false?It would be possible to become a doctor and have almost no people skills. True or false?
Absolutely !! Some Doc's have a great/good bedside manner but, they lack other skills.
As a RN, I would prefer a Doc to be a proficient Doc vs. a Doc with charm.
The debate of Health Reform does need some adjustments but, the Doc's really are against it because they will receive a base salary, depending on their specialty. But, this is a totally different response to your question.It would be possible to become a doctor and have almost no people skills. True or false?
Absolutely true!
I don't mind so much with a very skilled surgeon as the outcome of surgery is more important than his/her bedside manner, nasty though it is. BUT with a physician! I saw a sleep specialist who wanted paying BEFORE I saw him (I'm not surprised as I wouldn't have paid him after I saw him!) He was rude, gave me no help, suggested I did a cognitive behavioural course costing $500 which would not have taught me anything new, then wrote a rude letter to my GP saying I had a ';negative affect.';
Up his bum!
not a good idea. chances are- if you are asking this question, you are considering to be a doctor strictly for the money, dont do it. you wont be happy with your choice if you dont want to deal with the people
very true. I have worked with doctors that have had no bedside manners and were horrendous to work with period! These doctors still made plenty of money though and tended to work in hospital settings.

Would you say the following two statements are true or false?
Society in general regards people who talk to God as holy. But society in general regards people whom God talks to as insane. Do you agree or disagree with this?Would you say the following two statements are true or false?
Even religious people think they're nuts!
If you're a clergyman or a nun you can get away with it. For the rest of mankind it's a straightjacket.Would you say the following two statements are true or false?
I agree, but I have something to say to 14 black scholar:
In the holy texts of nearly every religion, god gives proof to those with whom he speaks, tablets, miracles and the like, when someone comes up to me and says they've spoken to god, I ask for proof, show me a tablet that couldn't have been carved by human hands, part the storm drain over there, turn that stick into a snake, something, if god is with you, let god prove himself to witness' other than the one! Let him prove himself en-mass, big head in the sky style, not privately to one person without giving them proof!
One person can be crazy, and books can be written by one person. Let god prove himself to hundreds of people right here, right now, in this day and age, leaving evidence to convince others who weren't present! I'll believe when there's reasonable evidence to compel me.
You see their is no way to win with atheists because they are so close minded.
If someone experiences something considered to be paranormal they will quickly point out that person is hallucinating and that he is deluded.
Numerous atheists have stated they would believe in God if he would just show himself. Yet God has shown himself to so many people but, atheists quickly dismiss it by saying this person is deluded.
In short their is no way to win with atheists.
If you experience something paranormal they will quickly call you deluded.
You see here is the problem I have with atheists. They believe in naturalism and if it is true that means your brain by a random process that isn't very interested in making you intelligent. All it cared about is making babies. Okay that means since you were formed by a naturalistic process that was not intelligently designed well you would have to believe your brain is functioning properly without any proof that it is. Because you are using the brain to see if your brain is functioning properly. Which is circular reasoning you have to be intelligently designed to claim with certainty that your brain is functioning properly and that your truth claims corresponds with reality because is naturalism is true you cant trust your brain because no one designed it intelligently it just formed by random chance with no concern if your Cognitive abilities were able to form true beliefs concerning reality . So for atheist to claim they are a naturalist they cant be because they cant account for anything in the natural world and their cognitive abilities are in question because they believe it formed by a random process. You can take what they are saying seriously because they cant prove or disproves if their cognitive abilities correspond with reality. So naturalism refutes itself.
Societies with a more spiritual view of life will see those that talk to God as holy. Those that are culturally based on the mental and omit the spiritual will see those that talk to God as insane because they do not understand spiritual things. Also, we would have to judge what people are saying God is telling them. God will not tell you to go out and kill your aunt or mother.
I disagree with the first part and agree with the second.
disagree with both.
I agree with I'm not mike, I think it is the other way around, although I think they are both a little touched
Yes.
I disagree with the question as you posted it.
Yes, that's true (in a very general sense).
And there is a reason for that.
Who cares what society thinks? I'm a God pleaser, not a man pleaser.

How might I be able to establish credit? I was told that paying a phone bill is one way. True or False?
I'm trying to buy a certified Honda Civic by Fall '07 and I need to establish credit, I was just wondering if paying my cell phone bill is one way without having to get a credit card or loan.How might I be able to establish credit? I was told that paying a phone bill is one way. True or False?
No, paying cell phones don't help you establish credit.
Chances are,that in a year and a half if you have no credit, you won't be able to establish enough credit by getting a few $500 credit cards to qualify for a 15K car loan. Having a credit card is probably a good idea but make sure you don't max it out. So, what should you be doing? Give the lender reasons, other than credit, to give you a bunch of money.
Start saving for a down-payment: a cash investment in the vehicle (at least 20%) shows a commitment to paying back the money they lend.
Show stability: having a long term job and long time residence helps by showing the lender that you have a stable income and they will be able to find you if you don't pay. Also, some lenders have programs for first time buyers that require at least one year at current job and residence.
Have utility bills in your name helps. Also, if you rent, get a reference from your landlord showing that you pay your rent on time every month.
If all else fails and you have parents or grandparents with good credit you can get them to co-sign.How might I be able to establish credit? I was told that paying a phone bill is one way. True or False?
Being late in paying a bill will generally negatively affect your credit. I'd suggest going to your bank and setting up a credit card that's paid automatically directly from your checking account (different from a debit card in that this one will establish your credit). It's a good choice if you're responsible enough to not overspend.
To establish credit you need to get credit.
That means you need to get a credit card. I know it is sort of hard to get one because then they ask you if you have any credit.
First try getting a credit card from stores e.g Macy's, Old Navy, Ashley Stewart, Payless etc. Also some banks when you open an account with them would give you a card.
Secondly, hold on to your hat, You need to purchase, buy, rent, consume something using the credit card and pay it back in time.
Thirdly, wait for a few months (5-6) then apply for a credit report.
The last stage is tedious but it must be done.With out this there is no car. I know the car might not be there for that long, but think of it this way better cars are being made ever day.
Good luck!!
Thats true but keeping up on all your bills is good to
There are several ways to establish credit. One way is to get a credit card (just a low limit one would be fine) - unfortunately, with no credit, it's hard to find one without an annual fee or start-up costs. I would go to orchardbank.com or first premiere credit card. We have one of each and they are wonderful people.
If you aren't firm on that Honda Civic (which is a bad choice in my opinion) You might also want to try to finance your vehicle through ford or toyota they seem to be easier on people with little or no credit. Depending on how old you are, I might want a safer vehicle than that. Maybe even a Kia???
Paying a phone bill doesn't go on your credit. You need something that will show up on your credit report.
Go here: http://financialplan.about.com/cs/credit鈥?/a> for more information, they are a great site.
Keep in mind that this won't happen overnight. It takes time to establish credit. Make sure you use your new credit card and charge things on it. Keep a small balance on it, never pay it off completely..
I hope this helps and good luck!!
keeping up with your bills makes can repair bad credit and paying off loans or furniture
There are so many ways to establish credit. There is no one single FAST way to do it though. For my suggestion, let's assume you're starting at the very beginning.
First, you should have your own checking account. Whatever you do - DO NOT bounce any checks! Second, apply for a Target guest card (I use this example because Target is local to me, and they've always been able to help my own credit). If you're approved for this card, once you receive it, all you really need to do is charge on it once, then pay the bill off as soon as it arrives. You don't even have to use it again if you don't want to (Or if you're afraid of overextending yourself again). The next thing I would do is to get a major credit card - Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover. And once again, charge on it once, pay it off immediately, and never use it again if you don't want to (or again feel there's risk of overextending yourself) So far, you're making yourself the banks WORST customer - That's right, WORST. As long as you carry no balance and pay your bill in full, you're building up good credit, and not paying the banks any interest! Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Moving on... My recommendation is to then get a car loan for a small amount. Even if you have the cash to buy it outright, get the loan as an excercise. Again, make your payments ontime all the time, and if able to, pay a little extra each month. It will shorten the term of your loan, and reduce the total amount of interest you pay over time. Try to space each of these activities out, keeping in mind that too many inquiries too close together can make you look desperate for money. I recommend doing the checking account and Target guest card first and near the same time, and wait for 4-6 months before going for that major credit card, then waiting another 4-6 months before applying for the lar loan. Soon, you'll find yourself in good shape with terrific credit!
If you develop poor credit as a result of bouncing checks or credit card delinquency, you should also pull your credit record from all three reporting agencies - experian, Transunion and equifax. I used www.myfico.com. Once you have these, look at how each of them is reporting, and take note of any outstanding debts - pay them off and ask that they report back to the associated agencies. In addition, follow up on this once a year, or more often. What I found is that when bad credit is made right with the debtor, in many cases, they do NOT always follow up and correct it with the reporting agencies, sometimes leaving inconsistent information on your credit report, which can count against you when applying for some of the other things mentioned earlier.
One last thing - Home ownership is one of the BIGGEST investments you'll probably ever make. Again, make payments on time everytime. And if things begin looking bleak, DO NOT ALLOW a foreclosure process to be completed. SELL first! AND, avoid ever filing for bankruptcy whenever possible, as this can hurt you for a LONG time if it ever happens to you!
Good luck!
Yes, paying any bill on time is a good way to establish a credit record. Another ';low risk'; option is a kind of secured credit card you can get where the card has a limit of say $300, and you pay the $300 up front so it works more like a debit card. The lender is taking no risk, and you are building a credit record. Do you have a bank account? Go to that bank and explain what you are trying to do, they will be happy to help.
That is true about the phone bill, but it probably won't be enough to do a whole lot. You can also get a line of credit at most clothing stores and use it when you need to buy things to wear, just make sure you pay it off every month so you don't have the interest. You'll probably still not have much credit by 2007 though. It takes time and management to get really good credit.
No your cell phone bill is not a good way to establish credit.......most likely you will not be able to get that car on your own........you will need a co-signer for a loan........after your loan is paid off you will then have established credit......or if you have credit cards and you pay those on time for 2 years you will usually have a good credit score........good luck........its alot harder than it seems!

2. Paying down your debt to credit ratio.
3. Establishing credit by applying for credit.
4. Contact credit bureaus for any discrepancies found on
your credit report.
The best way to establish credit is to go to very small loan companies. Borrow $200 and pay it back in five months. That type of thing. I established my credit that way years ago, when I first turned 18. If you are always on time, or pay it off quickly, that increases your credit score. You'd be surprised what small loans can really do for your credit. Make sure you always pay all bills that report to the credit agency before the due date.

I read somewhere that you can put siamese fighting fish in the same tank as goldfish? True or false?
Is it just certain types of golfish and is it a gender thing as well? i have 1 goldfish and would like to add a fighting fish to the tank, what do I do?I read somewhere that you can put siamese fighting fish in the same tank as goldfish? True or false?
Sure you can, but it's not a good idea.
1)Betta are warm water tropical fish. The need 75-85F temps. Lower temps result in lethargy, disease and early death. Goldfish are cold water carp types. They need temp below 73F, and ideally in the 65-68F range. Temps above 72 will result in oxygen deprivation, illness, and early death.
2)Betta tank mates should be fast swimmers, and not have showy fins. This pretty much rules out most gold fish.I read somewhere that you can put siamese fighting fish in the same tank as goldfish? True or false?
What you can do is put Betta in with other tropical fish. Especially those which are larger than him or swim a lot faster (since Bettas don't swim that well). After a few hours or days (at most), the Betta soon realises the other fish are not worth attacking and then lead a very 'normal' life with his other tankmates. In the streams of Thailand, bettas only need to protect their little corner of bubblenest so it really doesn't make any sense for him to kill anything in sight. Those who have lived in isolation will naturally be a little over-zealous, but they very quickly drop the act.
You should not put a betta and goldfish in the same aquarium because they require different water conditions to survive. Goldfish are coldwater whereas bettas are tropical fish. However they may still 'survive' in the same tank, although they will not thrive. Goldfish also tend to gobble food up whereas bettas are quite leisurely feeders so they may end up not getting anything to eat at all. If you really must have a betta, they can do relatively well in small tank set-ups or even a large bowl so that would be the better option for you.
Bad mojo, don't try it............. why would you want to do this?
I wouldn't put any other fish in the same tank as a Beta. Nothing good will result.
It depends. Is it a male fighting fish (betta)? If so, it can only be put in a tank with the shorttailed, common variety. You couldn't put a male betta in with fancy goldfish though, because it's instincts would lead it to attack the large finnage. If it is a female betta, it can be kept with any other docile fish.
you will end up with a dead goldifish most likely -- especially if the goldfish is male. male goldfish chase and nip -- thats not what a betta considers fun. goldfish are also poor swimmers and easy targets. there are lots of varieties of fancy goldfish -- they really are best with each other.
i love fighting fish......had them all my life.....and it depends on the fish.....if you want to i would suggest that you get one that is kep in a tank with other fish free swiming or in one of those cup things they are more likely too be okay.....i have had some that killed my gold fish and some that didn't
Listen to Ella above. I have Betta in all of my tanks with all types of fish. No Goldfish. Good Luck..%26gt;%26lt;%26gt;:)
As long as you goldfishes are bigger than the betta, it should be alright.
Anyway, betta's a unique fishes that only fight among it's own kind and won't disturb other spices.
They are even able to live in the same tank, if they are grown from the spawn, from small fries and with spacious enough tank. Most of the time, it's not advicible to put air-stone as it will ripple the water. When betta are old enough, water disturbance may cause them to starts fighting.
Enjoy!
I believe that the answer is false because if you put a Betta in a tank with another Betta then they will fight to the death until one of them is dead and the winner will proceed to eat the other Betta's corpse so I personally wouldn't recommend it.
Oh heck no! The beta fish will eat the goldfish...ALIVE!
no goldfish thrive in coldwater conditions, and bettas are tropical. dont do it
Sometimes this is true. The basic thing to remember when it comes to bettas (fighting fish) is that they have fin envy. They will attack any fish that has bigger fins than they do, so if you're trying to put him in a tank with a fancy goldfish with long pretty fins, this is probably not a good idea. However, if you're trying to put him in with a ten cent comet goldfish, he should be fine.
One thing you can do to kind if see what will happen is to leave the betta in the bag or cup that you brought him home in, and just set it to float on the top of the water for awhile before releasing him in the tank. See what he does. If he feels threatened, he will spread his fins out as big as they will go in order to intimidate the other fish. And he will zip around a lot, basically swimming like he's very mad. If you notice this, and it doesn't stop after a minute or two, I would avoid putting the two together.
Bettas can live with other fish though. I currently have a betta in a tank with plattys, guppies, and firebelly toads, and they get along fine. I've previously had them housed with neon tetras as well, but neons are fragile and hard to keep alive.
Good luck
Sure you can, but it's not a good idea.
1)Betta are warm water tropical fish. The need 75-85F temps. Lower temps result in lethargy, disease and early death. Goldfish are cold water carp types. They need temp below 73F, and ideally in the 65-68F range. Temps above 72 will result in oxygen deprivation, illness, and early death.
2)Betta tank mates should be fast swimmers, and not have showy fins. This pretty much rules out most gold fish.I read somewhere that you can put siamese fighting fish in the same tank as goldfish? True or false?
What you can do is put Betta in with other tropical fish. Especially those which are larger than him or swim a lot faster (since Bettas don't swim that well). After a few hours or days (at most), the Betta soon realises the other fish are not worth attacking and then lead a very 'normal' life with his other tankmates. In the streams of Thailand, bettas only need to protect their little corner of bubblenest so it really doesn't make any sense for him to kill anything in sight. Those who have lived in isolation will naturally be a little over-zealous, but they very quickly drop the act.
You should not put a betta and goldfish in the same aquarium because they require different water conditions to survive. Goldfish are coldwater whereas bettas are tropical fish. However they may still 'survive' in the same tank, although they will not thrive. Goldfish also tend to gobble food up whereas bettas are quite leisurely feeders so they may end up not getting anything to eat at all. If you really must have a betta, they can do relatively well in small tank set-ups or even a large bowl so that would be the better option for you.
Bad mojo, don't try it............. why would you want to do this?
I wouldn't put any other fish in the same tank as a Beta. Nothing good will result.
It depends. Is it a male fighting fish (betta)? If so, it can only be put in a tank with the shorttailed, common variety. You couldn't put a male betta in with fancy goldfish though, because it's instincts would lead it to attack the large finnage. If it is a female betta, it can be kept with any other docile fish.
you will end up with a dead goldifish most likely -- especially if the goldfish is male. male goldfish chase and nip -- thats not what a betta considers fun. goldfish are also poor swimmers and easy targets. there are lots of varieties of fancy goldfish -- they really are best with each other.
i love fighting fish......had them all my life.....and it depends on the fish.....if you want to i would suggest that you get one that is kep in a tank with other fish free swiming or in one of those cup things they are more likely too be okay.....i have had some that killed my gold fish and some that didn't
Listen to Ella above. I have Betta in all of my tanks with all types of fish. No Goldfish. Good Luck..%26gt;%26lt;%26gt;:)
As long as you goldfishes are bigger than the betta, it should be alright.
