Lansing-Michigan ago

Bill Frist, as senate majority leader under g bush campaigned hard to do away with overtime for nurses, firemen and policemen...The dems. were right on this one and fought hard against it. The death rates would have sky rocketed for hospital deaths if the republicans had gotten their way. Working 2 shifts is hard enough giving medicines , but knowing you won't get paid would have made it harder. The plan was to give a day off at the hospital's discretion would have made for some mad nurses....and dead patients. Firemen and policemen, cannot imagine.
